Hey
In eed your help urgently,
I was given a psd file of an arrow -- in which they want to make into a button for DVD STUDIO PRO --- the arrow is already created with a transparent background ---
now what do i export it as to put into dvd studio pro
as i tried importing the psd file which was fine --- but when i want to just change the color of the arrow when selected and when activated into another color --- the arrow doesn't change color it becomes a color box --- can you please let me know what i am doing wrong...

The simplest thing to do is , just make a white layer with the black arrow and
export is as .tiff
Then import that tiff into DVDSP, draw a button-rectangle outside that arrow
and use the button/colors-tab in the inspector to select the normal/highligted/selected
button-color

[Dan Newton]"i make a new layer that is white -- copy the arrow on it --- make the arrow black
then export it as a jpeg --- then what do i do
"
An overlay for DVDSP is a flattened gray-scale image where white becomes the transparent background, and
black is color-mapped in the menu inspector to the required colors for the button states.
A .tiiff would be better to color-map than a jpeg.
You need this info to make successful overlay menus.
