Layer Image tab

The Layer Image tab displays the image associated with the item that is currently selected in the Import

Tree.

Importing menu elements into DoStudio Authoring

When you are ready to add or update the menu graphics in your DoStudio Authoring project, choose File >

Import Into DoStudio to complete the import process. The menu elements will now appear in the DoStudio

Authoring project.

If you imported a full resolution 1920 x 1080 image then your layout work is done. You will need to assign

navigation and playback actions to the buttons you have just imported.

If your .psd file contains only one portion of your menu and the pixel size of the file is smaller than 1920 x

1080, the element will appear in the top-left corner of the Layout Editor window when you import it into

DoStudio Authoring. You can then position the menu block on your own.

Reimporting a Photoshop file

If you make changes to your graphics while you are in the middle of authoring your Blu-ray Disc, you can

reimport your Photoshop file using Mosaic.

Simply open Mosaic by clicking the Import a Photoshop file button and open your updated .psd file. After

the image has been imported, choose Import Into DoStudio to update the menu in your DoStudio

Authoring project.

Mosaic Action Script

Mosaic includes the ability to read a powerful shorthand notation called Mosaic Action Script that allows

you to add actions and remote control navigation to your menu element inside your Photoshop file. Mosaic
