Photoshop button and widgets?

Hi,
This is my fifth day using muse, and as a beginner in web design, i must admit that this program is really a great way to learn the art of web building.
However, i've been confused with one of he widgets called slideshow. Is it possible to use photoshop button in the widgets? If not.. Is it possible to create similar transisition in the widgets as a photoshop button (with picture change into another one when the mouse rolled over to the picture). Thanks a lot for the help by the way.
Kind regards,
Praditya

Hi,
The photoshop button is just like a rectangle with different images set up as fill for each state. You can do the same with the trigger by giving each state a different image fill or place the photoshop button in the trigger.

  • Trouble with "Place Photoshop button".  It is not importing or "placing" my PSD file.

    So I have a triple layer PSD file of a custom facebook icon that I am trying to "place" into Muse.  (PSD file includes transparent backgound, layer 1 image, and layer 2 image).  When I go to the "Place Photoshop button" and select my PSD file containing this and click "ok", the dialog option box does pop up however without my images or file.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello SDM,
    Are you getting this option after you select the .psd file ?

  • Photoshop button - fitting to frame?

    Hello,
    I imported my photoshop button and assigned a frame to the whole thing with 2 rounded corners.  It looks great in design but in preview there is a transparent line surrounding the photos.  I cannot right click on the picture in design mode to 'Fill frame proportionally' as I would do with a picture.  How do I get rid of this line?  I have played with the stroke being outside, inside and centered.  Adjusted the frame size and even tried the cropping tool.
    Thank you!

    Photoshop buttons are just like a rectangles with different layers set up as different states. So I would suggest you to click on the button select the state and then change the fitting accordingly and let me know if that helps.

  • How do I import a Photoshop button (including it's different states) into the muse menu widget?

    I had the idea of using the "place Photoshop button" option to configure the states in my horizontal menu bar in Muse.  I started out trying to use the widget, after playing with the options it seems I can either load each individual state one at a time in manual mode or I can try to make a menu bar from the buttons and manually place the respective links.  I would be grateful for a suggestion or alternative method that is as easy as the "place Photoshop button" option, I love that feature.  Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE:  I found that I could use Fill image then in import fill options, import layer + clip layer contents for each of the states.  It was working very well but I noticed an error in one of my buttons states so I had to go back to Photoshop.  When I returned to start this process again and I clicked import layer, the states are all flat plain text without any of the blending options I had set for each state. The odd part is that I can see all the layers in composite, but it will not let me place each layer as it did before. 
    After several frustrating hours going through every step I edited and even trying to load the buttons I thought were exactly the same file I used before I could not find what I had done differently to cause this.  I did successfully place each Photoshop button in empty space and the cut and paste them into the menu. Which is way easier then the original method.  I would like to know if anyone has an idea what went wrong for the sake of knowledge.  Also thought that this cut paste method might help others trying to build menu buttons outside of Muse.    

    I'm afraid Photoshop is a graphics program ill suited for generating good HTML and CSS code.  Use Photoshop to create your images only. Use DW to build your HTML, CSS and menus.
    Have a look at this tutorial:

  • I want to use a customized photoshop button with my composition and have rollover effect

    I'm trying to place a photoshop button into a blank composition widget trigger. When I cut a paste the image into the trigger it looses its fuctionality and no longer switches colors during rollover. It works fine in the lightbox composition, but the problem with lightbox composition is that it does not have rollover options to display the target only click. How do I get around this problem. I want to have my own customized button with the composition effect within muse cc.

    You should check the design layout and states defined for the trigger , if the state is defined properly then it should show the rollover state, but the target container corresponding to the trigger is on the page then it would show you the active state not the rollover state.
    Thanks,

  • Creating Photoshop buttons for motion menus and photoshop menus

    Hi I need to create buttons in photoshop for both a photoshop menu and a motion menu on DVD studio pro program
    Can someone tell me how to do it on both different menus?
    I really need some DETAILS on how to do it. Thanks for your time and responses ahead of time

    OK, here's what I recommend you try...
    Create the footage for your motion menu background. In that footage fade in the button shapes and text for the buttons exactly as you want them to appear. Hold the final position of these buttons for at least 30 seconds. save an image of the still portion to act as a guide in photoshop. Encode that footage to MPEG2 using Compressor and import it in to DVDSP.
    Take the still image in to photoshop and add a single layer to the file. On the new layer, create a shape of some kind (an underline, tick, circle, cross, box around, arrow, etc) next to the background button text. Make these shapes (for each piece of background text) black, and leave the rest of the layer white. Hide or delete the background layer and save the result as a .pict image. Import it in to DVDSP.
    Take the motion footage and drop it in to a menu. use the loop point in the property inspector to define where the 'still' portion of that footage begins. Now drag the .pict overlay image in to the same menu, but hold it a second until the contextual menu appears... set it as the overlay. Drag out button rectangles around the background text and position for the shapes in the overlay. Make sure the rectangles don't overlap, and set up the target for these buttons as well as the navigation between them.
    Use the property inspector to adjust the colours for the overlay - set it to be a simple overlay and in grayscale. What should happen is that when the menu plays the animated sequence starts first but as soon as the loop point is reached the overlay becomes active. The first button defined will be set as selected. You should now see the menu with the buttons faded in to position and the buttons should be clickable.
    When returning to this menu you may not want the viewer to sit through the animated sequence each time. Use a script (in DVDSP4) to specify that they return to the loop point only (the bit where the buttons are) or create a second menu that is identical to the loop point and send the viewer there instead.
    As you can see, there are several steps involved and I have made assumptions that you know something about menus and constructing buttons. It is all in the manual, but you will need to be familiar with Photoshop (or whatever image editor you prefer) to do this properly.
    You do not need to try to make four layer shapes and bring them in to the menu, and if you attempt to add anything else from the templates panel to this menu then the image quality will suffer as DVDSP builds the disc. If you do want to add other shapes and text to the menu then don't do the export to MPEG2... keep it as a simple QT .mov file.
    Please let us know how you get on after trying this method, and after reading up on those manuals

  • Photoshop Button in Active State Returns to Normal After Rollover?

    Hello,
    I'm working on a glossary reference website in Muse, and have hit a roadblock with my photoshop buttons.
    I have created menu buttons in Photoshop that have two different states - one for active and rollover, and another for normal and down (the button is actually saved with four different layers/states, one for each, but for what the user will see, it's really only two options). I've used these menu buttons as rollover triggers for blank compositions, and when the user rolls over the button, the name of the page appears below it, and then disappears on rollout (otherwise the names would overlap and it would look very cluttered).
    The issue that I have found is that, when I preview the page in my browser, the buttons appear to function properly in that they show up in the active state indicating that the page that they are linked to is the one that they are on.
    Initial View - Home Page:
    ...and when I rollover the image of the page that I am currently on, the button shows the name of the page as desired, like so:
    However, when I rollout, the button reverts back to the normal/down state, even though I am still on the home page.
    Below is a screenshot of the composition settings that I have set up for this widget. I tried switching the "Hide Target" to none, but since the target is referring to the word "Home", the word "Home" remained visible in addition to the button remaining in the active state, which is not what I want. I also tried selecting "Triggers on Top", but the issue was not solved here either.
    What am I missing? How can I make sure that my button remains in the active state when on the page that it is linked to?
    Thanks for your help!
    Rachel

    Sounds like a bug that's the fallout of the overloaded meaning of "Active" state. "Active" is both the state used for an item with a hyperlink applied that points to the current page (or an anchor point in the current scroll range on the current page) and the state used for a trigger or thumbnail in a Composition or Slideshow widget that corresponds to the a current active item in the composition or slideshow.
    It appears we honor the hyperlink definition of "Active" on page load for a composition trigger with a hyperlink to the current page applied, but don't honor that definition of active when transition to having no items in the composition active (or presumable when transition to having a different item in the composition active).
    The only workaround that comes to mind would be the very tedious approach of replicating this composition widget on each page, removing the hyperlink on the "active" trigger and manually formatting it's "Normal" state to appear active.
    I've written up the bug. However, it may not get fixed immediately. (We tend to collect smaller fixes in an area and then address them all at once or when other changes are planned in that area, due to the overhead involved in ramping up to work on an area and thoroughly retest it after changes.)

  • Can a Photoshop button be used as a Lightbox trigger?

    I've brought in a layered PSD file as a button with different states, but instead of the button linking to another page or similar, I'd like it to trigger a lightbox image that triggers a different hero image. Or, thinking about it in another way, can a lightbox thumbnail be replaced with not only a different image than the hero, but also has normal, rollover and down states?
    Is this possible?

    Hello,
    You can achieve this by using the Lighbox widget under "Compositions" option in widget.
    First indert the Lighbox widget (from Compositions catagory in Widgets)
    To insert the Photoshop button, Go to File>Place Photoshot button.
    Select the PSD file and place it on the page.
    Now click on the Photoshop button on the page and drag and drop it inside the Trigger of the Widget (Make sure the mouse pointer is inside the trigger and then release the mouse click to make sure it gets placed inside the trigger).
    And you can add a different image/content for target container as well.
    One quick tip : Click on "Hide all initially" option in Lightox widget properties (Which comes up when you click on small white arrow in blue circle when any Widget item is selected) to make sure all the states/layers of the button works.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sachin

  • Photoshop buttons with tranparent background display in IE 7 & 8 with a Black background

    I added Photoshop buttons to my website and they display fine in IE 9, but when I tested it on Windows XP using IE 8 and on Windows Server 2003 using IE 7 these Photoshop buttons showed up with black background where it should have been transparent.
    As a workaround I created a background in my PSD files to match the background of the website. However, this is not ideal because changing the website background in the future is now going to require editing all of the PSD buttons again.
    The other strange thing I notices is that when I had these buttons originally in the header of a Horizontal Menu Widget they worked fine on IE 7 and 8. I'm not sure why when I remove them from the widget the background shows up black.
    This definitely appears to be a BUG and hopefully Adobe can resolve it quickly.
    Let me know if anyone else has experienced this problem and how you fixed it.

    I do agree that it is probably related to the browser.  However, that does not explain why the same images display fine if they are in a horizontal menu widget.  It would seem that if they display one in a Muse website they should work anywhere in the site. Obviously that is not the case and must have something to do with the way a widget embeds the image.  I don't have an explain online since I already fixed the problem by removing the transparent background and matching the background color of the website in the photoshop PSD file.
    If you want to see an example of what the site looks like know you can go here.  http://www.itouchandlearn.com/toddler-puzzles.html the buttons that I had a problem with are the App icons accross the top. 
    I originally had everything on a single page nesting the different app pages within the horizontal menu widget, but because everything was on one page it took to long to load.  To fix this problem I created new pages for each widget menu tab and moved everything out of the menu widget.  This is when the transparent background became a problem.

  • Photoshop button not working inside of target?

    I'm operating OSX Snow Leopard and the latest edition of Muse 2.2. However, I was having these issues with the version before 2.2 as well.
    I created a simple photoshop file containing 2 states Normal and Over. When I place as photoshop button outside of the target it functions properly. When I place within the target it does not. Any suggestions? I'm using the tooltip composition widget.
    Thanks!

    It does not depend on the version of Photoshop. It will be same for all the versions.
    I understand what you are trying to explain. I would like to tell you that it works outside the trigger because when it is outside the rigger it is not in active state.
    However, when you take it inside a trigger, whenever the trigger is selected, it comes to active state. And "Whenever a link/button is in active/visted state, other states do not work on it".
    And as you said you only have two states i.e Normal and Rollover, when you insert such photoshop buttons into Muse it automatically copies the normal state settings to Active state and the rollover state settings to mouse down state.
    Please have a look at the screenshots
    When I insert a button with only two states :
    It copies the states to mouse down and active as well :
    Now, please try and insert the photoshop button in the second trigger instead of first trigger of the widget. Wthout clicking on it, just check if the color of the button inside the second trigger changes or not on hovering the mouse over it. It ideally should.
    But once you click on the second trigger, it will make it active (Whose colour is same as the normal state in your case) and all other states will stop working.
    Now, please look at the video through the link which I posted in my last comment.
    Hope this explains the situation.

  • I would like to use my Photoshop buttons for a submenu in Muse.

    I have created a set of six Photoshop buttons. Four of the buttons are top level menu buttons and two buttons are for a submenu. How do I get these two submenu buttons to appear when I hover over the top level button (i.e., work like submenu buttons with the widget.)
    Kind regards,
    Glenn

    agm123,
    Not sure if this answers my question. I am working with Muse 2014. How do I get imported Photoshop buttons to work as submenu buttons. I have a button call Pictures and two submenu buttons called Residential and Commercial that are linked to different pages. How do I get these two buttons to act as submenu buttons under the Pictures button? (i.e., not visible until the Pictures button is in hover mode and then able to click to go to the correct page based on the links of either the Residential button or the Commercial button).
    Kind regards,
    Glenn

  • Can you put multiple links over the same button and have it still change states?

    I have a photoshop button that changes from an active state ('TRAVEL' in a box) to a rollover state ('JAPAN, PHILIPINNES, KOREA, INDIA' in a gridded box). The 4 location names should be linked to seperate galleries. I want to find a way to do that. I tried placing clear rectangles over the areas, and then linking the rectangles, but it prevents the rollover state from being activated. Is there a way to do this?

    You should be able to do what you want with the Tooltip Composition Widget.

  • Photoshop button

    I made a photoshop button, but in order not to loose resolution on high resolution screens, I decided to add an icon and button text in muse. (icon as vector svg). These elements however interfere with the working / animation of the button, for example the rollover state of the button does not initiate when the cursur hovers over the text or icon. It works fine on other bare areas of the button which is not covered by text or icon.

    Put all the items in a "State Button" widget. The area of the state button will define the hit zone for rollover and all items in the state button will transition to rollover, mouse down, etc. together.

    Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    Error Code: c0000005
    Address: 75e32f71
    I clicked on the OK button and the downloader closed.
    I did a search on this error code (c0000005) and there seems to be a workaround but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because this problem seems to be years and years old, going back to at least 2005 (do the math that is 10 years).
    I don't even have the Camera hooked up and I get this error on download.  I redownloaded everything and reinstalled.  I allso saw the AVI issues reported with this proble so i updated Quicktime though without the camera being hooked up when I get this error I didn't expect that to work.  I tried support and they wouldn't help because I bought it in March this year.  Pretty frustrating as I have re-purchased Elements about every 2 years.  I think I might need a new CODEC?   I had this problem on an Earlier version And I seem to remember that being the Fix but this may be something completely different

    I finally found that it was missing a picture so the Catalog was "corrupted".  I just deleted the picture and it started working.
    I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe .  Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 ( My 12.0 is only 6 months old  but they still don't support it on errors.  Only install errors!
    I have upgrade and repurchase this product 4 times now.  I will find something else next time!
