ENCORE CS3 70 User Guide Each object you add to a menu appears on a separate layer in the Layers panel. Selecting objects in the Menu Viewer is sometimes easier when you use the Layers panel. Regardless of where an object is in the stacking order, you can quickly select it by selecting its layer in the Layers panel. When you select a layer or layer set, selection handles appear on the element in the Menu Viewer. You can isolate elements to change them together or individually, view only specific layers while hiding others, and lock layers or layer sets so that their elements cannot be modified. The Layers panel is especially useful when working on menus with a lot of layers, such as menu templates. You can design entire menu templates in Photoshop, import them into your Encore projects, and save them in the Library panel for reuse. AB C D E F G H Layers panel A. Display/Hide column. B. Lock/Unlock column. C. Button/Object column D. Layer set E. Button layer set F. Text layer G. Subpicture layers H. Open/Close layer set The three columns adjacent to the layers let you selectively hide, display, or lock the contents of layers and layer sets, as well as convert objects to buttons and convert button sets to individual elements. Clicking the column next to a layer turns the option on or off. Display/Hide column Hides or displays the layer in the Menu Viewer. The Eye icon next to a layer indicates that it is visible. Hiding layers lets you work on a layer in isolation and makes it easier to adjust a layer that is behind other objects. Note: You cannot hide button layer sets, only the elements within them. You also cannot use the Display/Hide column on subpicture layers-layers with names that begin with (=1), (=2), or (=3). To hide or display subpicture layers, you use the Show Normal Subpicture Highlight button , Show Selected Subpicture Highlight button , and Show Activated Subpicture Highlight button in the Menu Viewer. (See "Button subpicture states" on page 59.) Lock/Unlock column Locks or unlocks a layer in the Menu Viewer so that it can't be selected, moved, or modified. Locking layers or layer sets protects the elements from accidental changes. The Lock icon indicates that it is locked. Button/Object column Converts the layer to a button or back to an object. The Button icon indicates that the layer is a button. Converting an object to a button creates a new button layer set with a plus-sign prefix (+) added to its name. Converting a button set to an object removes the prefix from the layer set name, but leaves the button elements grouped in a layer set. Rename a layer or layer set 1 In the Layers panel, double-click the layer name you want to change. 2 In the Rename Layer dialog box, type the new name and click OK. Note: In Encore, you can't change the layer name prefixes of a button layer set (+); subpicture layers (=1), (=2), or (=3); replacement layers (!); or thumbnail layers (%). You can edit the prefixes in Photoshop.

Each object you add to a menu appears on a separate layer in the Layers panel. Selecting objects in the Menu Viewer
is sometimes easier when you use the Layers panel. Regardless of where an object is in the stacking order, you can
quickly select it by selecting its layer in the Layers panel. When you select a layer or layer set, selection handles appear
on the element in the Menu Viewer. You can isolate elements to change them together or individually, view only
specific layers while hiding others, and lock layers or layer sets so that their elements cannot be modified. The Layers
panel is especially useful when working on menus with a lot of layers, such as menu templates.
You can design entire menu templates in Photoshop, import them into your Encore projects, and save them in the
Library panel for reuse.
Layers panel

E.

G.

layers
H.
Open/Close layer set
The three columns adjacent to the layers let you selectively hide, display, or lock the contents of layers and layer sets,
as well as convert objects to buttons and convert button sets to individual elements. Clicking the column next to a
layer turns the option on or off.
Display/Hide column
Hides or displays the layer in the Menu Viewer. The Eye icon
next to a layer indicates that
it is visible. Hiding layers lets you work on a layer in isolation and makes it easier to adjust a layer that is behind other
objects.
Note:
You cannot hide button layer sets, only the elements within them. You also cannot use the Display/Hide column
on subpicture layers—layers with names that begin with (=1), (=2), or (=3). To hide or display subpicture layers, you
use the Show Normal Subpicture Highlight button
, Show Selected Subpicture Highlight button
, and Show
Activated Subpicture Highlight button
in the Menu Viewer. (See “Button subpicture states” on page 59.)
Lock/Unlock column
Locks or unlocks a layer in the Menu Viewer so that it can’t be selected, moved, or modified.
Locking layers or layer sets protects the elements from accidental changes. The Lock icon
indicates that it is
locked.
Button/
O
bject column
Converts the layer to a button or back to an object. The Button icon
indicates that the
layer is a button. Converting an object to a button creates a new button layer set with a plus-sign prefix (+) added to
its name. Converting a button set to an object removes the prefix from the layer set name, but leaves the button
elements grouped in a layer set.
Rename a layer or layer set
1
In the Layers panel, double-click the layer name you want to change.
2
In the Rename Layer dialog box, type the new name and click OK.
Note:
In Encore, you can’t change the layer name prefixes of a button layer set (+); subpicture layers (=1), (=2), or (=3);
replacement layers (!); or thumbnail layers (%). You can edit the prefixes in Photoshop.
