Hi,
I'm working with PI10 and if I save as PSD(Photoshop File Format) will the print shop be able to open the file with Adobe Photoshop and do fine ajustment for the press. I mean as for moving the objects and texts.
Thanks in advance,
André
Save in different format

I have killed two birds with one stone here.
I am using Photo Impact 11 but I see no reason why an earlier version shouldn't do the same.
I just opened one of my custom DVD Menu Templates
( http://phpbb.ulead.com.tw/EN/viewtopic.php?t=11378 )
Then saved it as a Photoshop PSD file.
I opened the PSD file with Adobe Photoshop and it opened as a number of layers. All the layers were given the same names as those given by PhotoImpact.
My next test was to see what would happen if using Adobe Photoshop I now make a small change to one of the layers (I moved a couple of objects) and save it under a different name "Test.PSD"
Then I went to Windows Explorer and renamed Test.PSD to Test.UFO
I returned to PhotoImpact and opened Test.UFO. It opened correctly with all the object names preserved.
My next test was to see if the PhotoImpact DVD Menu Plug in would accept the file whcih had been changed by Photoshop.
An error message stated the file had to be saved as a UFO file, so clearly it was not fooled by the simple alteration of the file extension.
I then saved it as test2.ufo. Now the DVD Menu plug in accepted the file though it did report that a couple of items needed to be re-defined (A job that can be done by the plug in.)
So the answer to your question is Yes.
The results of my tests show that it is possible to prepare a DVD Menu in Photoshop BUT you would need to bring it into Photoimpact before you would get it to work as a DVD Menu.
