Naming conventions for .psd file layers
In order for Mosaic to successfully assign each layer of a .psd file to its proper role in DoStudio Authoring
you must name each layer according to the naming conventions described below for menu blocks, sets,
and buttons.
Menu blocks
To define a menu block in a .psd file, create a layer and name it with the prefix mb:.
Example: mb: Main Menu
If you want to create a menu block with a transparent background, create an empty layer and name it
according to the naming convention. If you create a transparent background, Mosaic will determine the
size of the menu block from the size of the set.
Sets
Sets are created by using the group feature in Photoshop. Create a group and name it "Set 1," "Set 2," and so
on, or name your sets more descriptively such as "Chapters1-5." There are no special characters to enter in
the layer name for the set.
You will place your button graphics and set background image (optional) inside the Photoshop group.
Sets will import with a transparent background unless you specify an image for the set's background. The
naming convention for a set background is bg:.
Example: bg: nameofsetbackground
