Edit disc menu 223
If a complex, longer edit is required or if you have created a menu
without a template, then use the PSD import/export (view page 216)
function in
the menu editing functions.
Next, open the PSD file in the graphics program of your choice.
For smaller changes, you can also shorten this process: click the button "In
external editor" in the "Disc options" on "Design page".
A temporary PSD file will be added and opened in the program that has been
selected in the program settings as the menu editor (view page 265). After
editing has been complete
d and saved in this external program, the temporary
PSD file will be imported again and the menu page will be updated
immediately.
Menu text with external menu editing
Menu elements are transferred as a bitmap during PSD export as well as
during import of the edited PSD. This also applies to the text displayed in the
menu. This text may also normally be changed in the "Menu entry properties"
dialog. The menu text are adjusted if movies or chapters are added or
removed.

The PSD con
tains these texts as a bitmap and cannot be changed. During
importing, the bitmaps replace the original text entries. By the way, this is
maintained, and the font will only be set to a size of 0 so that texts are not
displayed in duplicate; the menu will therefore look identical after external
editing.
It is important that no more movies or chapters are added to the menu.
Otherwise the preview images, that have also changed along with the menu
structure will no longer match the bitmap text, since the bitmap text will not
match the changed references in the menu structure!
An example
A chapter with two entries is present. Entry 1 is named "travel preparations".
Entry 2 is named "arrival". A chapter named "the trip" is going to be added
