Important considerations for creating your .psd file:
n Text layers must be rasterized.
n Mosaic does not recognize layer effects, so you must fully merge all layer effects into the layer.
n Your buttons must be contained within the boundaries of your menu block.
n You can see the actual size of the layer (including the transparent pixels) by selecting the Show
Transform Controls feature in Photoshop. When this is turned on, you will see a rectangle around
the actual pixels in the layer. Mosaic reads this layer information and uses it to determine the size of
your menu block.
n Your buttons can not overlap.
n Beware of Glow effects; they can cause overlap problems.
Adding a .psd file to Mosaic
To begin the import process, start Mosaic by choosing Edit > Import PSDGraphic clicking the Import PSD
Graphic button in the toolbar.
Mosaic is a separate application that performs the import process and transfers the menu data to DoStudio
Authoring. Mosaic must complete the import process or you must exit the Mosaic application in order to
continue authoring in DoStudio Authoring.
To add a .psd file to Mosaic, choose Edit > Add PSD. This opens a browse window that lets you choose your
.psd file. When you select the file, Mosaic reads each of the layers and generates a log in the Import Status
tab. If your .psd file has errors that will prevent it from properly importing into DoStudio Authoring, you will
be notified at this stage.
