To edit a menu in Photoshop
As your project evolves, you may want to change elements in a menu. Adobe Encore DVD is designed to work
directly with Photoshop. Without closing the project, you can jump to Photoshop to refine any menu, even menus
createdinAdobeEncoreDVD.OnceyousavethechangesinPhotoshop,thechangesautomaticallyappearinAdobe
Encore DVD.
1 Select the menu that you want to edit in either the Project or Menus panel.
2 Choose Edit > Edit Menu In Photoshop, or click the Edit Menu In Photoshop button in the toolbox.
Photoshop starts, displaying the selected menu.
3 Make changes as necessary.
4 In Photoshop, choose File > Save, and then File > Close.
Photoshop saves the file to the project folder. It does not overwrite the original file that you imported into your
project.
Note: When you import a menu into Adobe Encore DVD, it creates a copy of the menu. The Edit Menu In Photoshop
command opens this copy, not the original file. Photoshop saves any changes to the copy. If you want to update the
