Background & Buttons Created in Photoshop

I want to:
A. burn a Widescreen (16:9) DVD;
B. which has a still background with some buttons which, when pressed, will take the viewer of the DVD to the appropriate part of the DVD;
C. I want to make this background and the buttons in Photoshop. The buttons should preferably (but not absolutely necessary) be just text (eg., "Play", "Farming") where the background shows through the "holes" in the text (eg., the hole in "A", "O" etc.) as though the text was simply overlayed rather than in an opaque box.
To do this (if it is possible) I plan to buy a second hand version of DVD SP.
I have Final Cut Express 3.0 (which exports video in QT form) and Photoshop 7.
1. What versions of DVD SP will do what I want (if any)?
2. What other software would I need (eg. Compressor)?
3. What was the version number of the last DVD SP before it was combined with FCP?
4. I have OS 10.3.9 and QT 7.1.1 Would Version 1 of DVD SP work with these and do what I want (sometimes current Apple software does not like working with older software)?
I have searched this forum, and the iDVD forum is unable to say whether iDVD 6 will do what I want.
Many thanks for any info.
G5/2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1 GB RAM, 150 GB HD, Sony DCR-HC96 mini DV, FCE HD 3.0

1. What versions of DVD SP will do what I want (if any)?
All; but you would be advised to use 2 to 4 (see later).
2. What other software would I need (eg. Compressor)?
None: Compressor is included, and you already have PhotoShop.
3. What was the version number of the last DVD SP before it was combined with FCP?
4 (DVD SP4).
4. I have OS 10.3.9 and QT 7.1.1 Would Version 1 of DVD SP work with these and do what I want (sometimes current Apple software does not like working with older software)?
Version 1 only works if you boot into OS9.
Version 3 (& 2, presumably) works well with OS 10.3.9 and QT 6.5.
I would recommend version 3 - though I am not sure if you having QT 7 would still cause problems, or if the difficulties with QT7 & OS 10.3 have been fixed.

Importing a button worked in PhotoShop

How can i import a button that i created in Photoshop to DSP
cause in DSP u can only make a rectangle or square or u have to use the shapes that DSP have
what if i wanna draw a button and i want it to work as a button in DSP
any ideas ?

that means that theres limitation of making buttons
Yes, in general, sort of The button area that you draw in DVD SP is limited BUT the image itself can be any shape that is highlight. So the button itself can be be any shape. For instance you can use circles (made a quick file) Of coursse there is a limit on how close the shape can get to one another (buttons should not overlap) and at some point some more shapes (think of maybe peices of a jigsaw puzzle being highlighted) may be hard to implement, but with a little work and planning (see overlays below as one option) you can fake it.
http://www.geocities.com/mypix013/Circles.zip has a project and photoshop files There is also a folder called screen shots to help see what I am talking about. Open up DVD SP and press the F3 Key to get the same layout
whats the difference if its layered or overlay both of them u have to draw
In the project above I made 4 menus (not they do not link actually, just to show layout) You can take a look at them to see how it is done. (If you need more details let me know.) Quick description below
The first is called Layered Menu with 2 buttons
There are 6 layers of circles
Red 1 (top circle)
Red Copy (lower circle)
Blue 1 (top circle)
Blue Copy (lower circle)
Green Copy (top circle)
Green 2 (lower circle)
In the general Tab of the inspector you will what layer are always set to be visible (non in this case) (See screenshot Layer1)
Now if you select a button and click on the layers tab in the inspector you will see how the layers are set Red 1 is normal for button 1 (non selected, non active) for button 1, Blue 1 is selected for button 1 and Green 1 is activated for button 1 (you can simulate the menu.) (See screenshot Layer2) Same for button 2, but using the Red Copy etc.
Layered shapes is a variation of the same with shapes that cross over (note the buttons themselves are over to the right) Using layered menus does not require the buttons to be over an area
NOTE: Layered menus are not as reliable as non layered menus and may not behave the same on all players
The more reliable method is basic overlays (picts are most relaible for me)
Non Layered 1 Has background of Circles.pict and overlay layer of Black_Over.pct Select the menu (not a button) and inspector click on the colors tab. You will see grayscale is selected. Then three more selections, normal, selected, activated. There colors were set to Red, Blue, Green for ech state (See Screenshot Layer3)
Non_layered 2 is the same thing but uses Black_Gray overlay (a black circle with gray inner circle) and you can see how you can map the gray area using the sliders in the inspector for the colors
Hope this helps

Flash problem with shadows created in PhotoShop

I am relative flash newbie. I created a PSD file in photoshop
that has a "hole" in it and the hole has drop shadow, the
background is transparent. Saved out PSD and created new Flash
file.
Put this graphic on one layer and image on a layer behind to
show through. But the drop shadow I created in Photoshop does not
show correctly. It's much lighter over top of the graphic behind
it.
Any ideas?
Using -> Photoshop CS2 Flash MX
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks the PNG helped a little but I guess it is a
transparency issue with the graphic.

Import error when importing .psd file created in Photoshop CS3

I have a file that was created in Photoshop CS3. I am trying to import this file into Catalyst CS5, but I keep getting an input error. I created a file in Photoshop CS5 and I was able to import this .psd file successfully into catalyst. So I guess my question is this; Does Catalyst support .psd files created in Photoshop CS5 only? If this is the case, how can I convert the CS3 .psd to a CS5 .psd

I am now building my files using photoshop CS5. A few challenges I have experienced while trying to import into Catalyst:
- If I do a straight import into Catalyst, I loose all my colors in Catalyst. That is, catalyst imports all my vectors without any of the colors I had in Photoshop. My understanding is that Catalyst has libraries to support Photoshop files, so your import from Photoshop should not look any different in Catalyst.
Work Around: I have had to rasterize / merged all my image layers for the different components I have built in Photoshop CS5. Then when I start the import process I click the Advanced button on the catalyst import dialog. From the advanced dialog, I have to flatten (to bitmap) all the images I intend to import.
This process takes about two hours because I have a lot of components on the page.
Is there something I'm not doing right here? I'm not seeing the value add to Catalyst, if it's taking me this long to just import .psd files

Buttons created in InDesign don't display properly in Acrobat DC

I am having issues with how buttons created in InDesign CC (2014) and exported to interactive PDF display in Acrobat DC. These buttons use transparent layers and effects such as drop shadow. The buttons displayed great in Acrobat XI.
Acrobat XI:
Acrobat DC:
The buttons used a transparent white layer to simulate glare. As you can see, it comes out black in DC! The drop shadow has added white coloring knocking the buttons out from the background instead of blending nicely. I can avoid using these styling methods in future projects, but this project has used these buttons for several years, and now several years worth of PDFs won't display correctly for anyone who updates to DC!

I am also having problems. Upgraded to Acrobat DC. I use a Mac (latest software)
When I export from InDesign CC to Acrobat DC the interactive elements - especially buttons - go cranky. I get a strange smudgy kind of drop shadow but in a variety of colours behind the arrows, buttons etc. All very strange. It gets worse if I apply a drop shadow and bevel and emboss to the button (even a home made button rather than one of the sample buttons).
I'm currently working away from home and so can't try any other computer.
Strange.

How can I convert an image created in Photoshop into a format that Java's ImageIO library will take?

Hi all,
I've been trying to write an image resize tool to use the Lancoz resample algorithm to resize images to a high standard in Java. The library with the algorithm/filter in it is mortennobel's image scaling library and it takes a buffered image as an input and returns the resized image as desired. However the trouble I’m having is that the ImageIO library in Java, a standard library, which converts images given to its read method to buffered images doesn't accept certain images created in Photoshop and so it throws an exception. My library needs to be fully automated to process possible thousands of images at a time and so manually converting them by resaving them as JPEG's is really feasibly. Is there some way I can convert these images from Adobes Exif format to standard JFIF format? I've tried simple inserting the APP0 marker from a JFIF image in-between the SOI and APP1 marker but the ImageIO library still failed.
The above image is a screenshot of the binary in hex of one of the images that cause an Invalid Format exception when passed to ImageIO.
Any help you could offer me with this would be much appreciated.
Kind regards and thank you,
Alexei Blue
Science Warehouse.
NB: I previously posted this post in Developers but was told to post it in a Photoshop forum so apologies if this is the incorrect formum

The image scaling library does have a BiCubicFilter in it so I'll experiment around with them and see what happens. As for the imageIO library I think it accepts Exif image types, but still for some reason it just doesn't like Adobe Photoshop types. Maybe its the colour map it doesn't like I just can't seem to work out what's wrong which is slightly frustrating but looking round to see if I can find an answer

Is there a way to allow content/text editing in a layered PDF created in Photoshop?

I get the error "Acrobat has detected that this page does not have editable text"

I created a Photoshop PDF in Photoshop CS6, then tried to edit it in Acrobat XI (all under Windows 7 x64). I got the same message.
I open the same Photoshop PDF back into Photoshop and I was able to edit the type layer there. So all I can tell you is that the Photoshop PDF has to be edited in Photoshop.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.

Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
My home and office have different version each.

Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

Clicking an image created in Photoshop launches the program but...

Not sure where else to ask this. There isn't a Photoshop area.
New OS9 to OSX here. Going from Photoshop 6 (don't laugh) to CS1. When I click on an image created in Photoshop it launches the program but does not open the image. I have to either go into the "open" command and do it manually or do it by finding the document in my HD. Either way it's a drag and I suspect it's not the way it's supposed to be. It's a real time-loser.
The only thing I can think of is it's because I'm clicking on an image that was created on my G3 using Photoshop 6. On the other hand it DOES launch the program so I am not exactly sure what is going on.
Has anyone had the same experience?
Thanks.

What happens if you click on Get Info and "open with" and set the image type to always use CS1?
Other thought would be to use Onyx or Tiger Cache Cleaner to update the "Launch Services" which is what connects and controls applications and document types.
(Might even want to consider Pogue's "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual" or something.)
Make sure you have Tiger compatible programs, don't have something installed which is not (Norton Utilities is out).
Set up a new test account or even a test system on another drive. And use that for doing repairs. Word of caution: never update OS X without a backup of your system.

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
Please Help!

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

File Compatibility, Files Created w/Photoshop on Apple Will Not Open on Windows platform

I have created a book in InDesign CS5.5 that contains Photoshop documents created in Photoshop CS5.1 using a Windows 7 professional 64bit computer. These files were subsiquently modified by a Graphic Artist using the same versions of this software running on an Apple computer. When his files were packaged by Indesign and then returned to me, the linked .tiff files that he had modified in Photoshop would not open again on my computer. Note that other liinked photographs that had not been subsequently modified opened correctly and that the InDesign document included in the package would link and open correctly when the InDesign document opened. Is this a problem with cross platform compatibility?

The platform that created or reads the file doesn't matter -- the files are the same.
No, that is not a platform compatibility issue - because there are no such issues.
Are the files failing to open in Photoshop, or InDesign?
What does the error say when they fail to open?
