DVD menu image

Just trying out PhotoImpact and want to know if there is an easy way to change the background image in one of the DVD templates with one of my own. Need to change one in 24 hours time so I don't have much time to go dredging through all the documentation.
Thanks.

Real easy to do..

Double click on the DVD menu in the Easy Palette you want to use, this will open it. Then open the Layer Manager, and look at the first layer above the base image. This should be the background image used. Click on it to select it.

Now open the image that you want to use for the DVD background. Note the size of the DVD Image. Now resize your replacement image to that of the DVD background image. Then select copy. Go back to the DVD template and then from the Edit menu select Paste into selection.

That should do it, your image should now be the background image for the DVD menu template. Give it name to save it, and use it for your DVD...

Hope it helps you.. I done a test run while typing the post just to make sure it would work. So it takes about 2 minutes and you have a customized DVD menu.. Good Luck
