Edit a menu in Photoshop
As your project evolves, you may want to change elements in a menu. Encore is designed to work directly with
Photoshop. Without closing the project, you can jump to Photoshop to refine any menu, even menus created in
Encore. Once you save the changes in Photoshop, the changes automatically appear in Encore.
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 Tools panel.
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.
