The resulting PSD file will now be loaded into the external application. The following
steps may differ slightly depending on the application that is used. The following
steps, for example, describe the workflow in Photoshop CS, Photoshop Elements 8,
and the download version of Xara Xtreme Pro.
Editing a menu from 3 to 5 movies.
Photoshop Elements:
In Photoshop Elements, it is enough to touch an object with a held-down Alt key on
the video monitor and drag a copy of it to a new location. A movie button and a
chapter menu button should be duplicated each two times.
Assigning the movie takes place later via the index in the layer group hierarchy. Make
sure that the "x" chapter menu button ends up next to the "x" movie button in the
optical hierarchy. Otherwise, the screen will cause confusion for its users.
Save the results.
Photoshop CS1:
In the context menu of the layer group to be duplicated in Photoshop CS1, select
"duplicate layer set". This must be done twice for the movie button and the chapter
menu button. Drag the created layer sets to the required positions. To do so, the layer
must be selected and the Ctrl button be held down during the click.
Save the results.
Xara Xtreme Designer Pro 6:
In Xara Xtreme Designer Pro 6 you must first open the object gallery after loading the
PSD file. There, for each layer of the PSD file, corresponding Xara layers will be
created with contained objects. The layer groups are represented with the names of
individual Xara layers, with PSD layer names separated by backslashes.
Find the layers of the group, which you would like to duplicate. In the example, this
refers to the 4 layers on the movie button ad two l ayers of the chapter menu button.
To ensure visual assignment of the objects to the work area, you have to invest some
effort since the Designer does not select the corresponding objects when a layer is
selected, and conversely it doesn't select the layer when the work area with objects is
