Designing Menus in Adobe Photoshop
3
Select the Giraffe image layer in the Layers palette
Make sure you select the Giraffe image layer and not the Giraffe text layer, the (+) Giraffe
Button layer set, or the (=1) subpicture layer.
4
Choose Image > Adjustments > Levels.
5
Drag the middle triangle under the histogram slightly to the right. As you drag, the
midtones value for the Input Levels changes. We moved the midtones value to .70. Click
OK to apply the change.
The giraffe image has better contrast.

Save the file in Photoshop, and then close it. Return to Adobe Encore DVD.
In Adobe Encore DVD, the menu has updated to reflect the change you made in
Photoshop.
Note: If the subpictures are visible, choose View > Show Selected Subpicture to hide them.

Linking buttons to timelines
Adobe Encore DVD recognizes the buttons you created in Photoshop, so you can link
them just as you would buttons you create in Adobe Encore DVD. First, create the
timelines, and then link the buttons.
