Today, almost everyone has access to a computer and the internet. With this technology, people can do many things that were once impossible, like design their own DVD menus.
Photoshop is a program that allows users to create graphics and images. With a little bit of practice, anyone can learn how to make a DVD menu in Photoshop.
The first step is to open Photoshop and create a new document. The size of the document should be 720×480 pixels and the resolution should be 72 pixels/inch.
Next, the user should create a background layer. This can be done by choosing the “File” menu and then selecting “New” from the drop-down menu. In the “New” dialog box, the user should select “Background Layer” from the “Layer Type” drop-down menu.
After the background layer has been created, the user can add an image to it. The image can be added by choosing the “File” menu and then selecting “Open” from the drop-down menu. In the “Open” dialog box, the user should select the image they want to use and then click on the “Open” button.
Once the image has been added to the document, the user can add text. To do this, they should select the “Text” tool from the toolbar and then click on the area of the image where they want to add text. A text box will appear and they can type whatever they want into it.
After the text has been added, the user can change its color by clicking on the “text color” button in the toolbar. They can also change its font by clicking on the “font family” drop-down menu in the toolbar and selecting a different font.
In order to add buttons to the DVD menu, the user should first select a shape tool from the toolbar and draw it onto the image. To change the color of the shape, the user should click on the “Fill color” button in the toolbar. To add a stroke to the shape, the user should click on the “Stroke color” button in the toolbar and adjust the “Stroke width” slider.
To link the buttons to different scenes or options, the user should select the “Layer” menu and choose “Add Layer Based Slideshow.” In the “Layer Based Slideshow” dialog box, the user should select the “Layers to Include” drop-down menu and choose the desired layers for the slideshow.
Finally, to save the work, the user should choose the “File” menu, select “Save As,” give the file a name, select “Photoshop PSD (*.psd)” from the “Format” drop-down menu, and click on the “Save” button.
Creating a DVD menu in Photoshop is easy once you have a grasp of the program’s features. With some practice, anyone can learn to create a professional and user-friendly DVD menu.
