Adobe Photoshop

Navigation Bar

Open the “map” file in Photoshop  format you created earlier.  We need to copy the button shapes and the white Type for each shape.  Select the “trips shape” Layer  and unlink the “trips over” Type Layer.  Unlink the “links over” Type Layer from the “links shape” Layer and the “contact over” Type Layer from the “contact shape” Layer.  Now we need to link all the button shapes and black Type Layers  together so we can drag and drop them all at once into our master document.

Select the “trips shape” Layer  and link it to the “trips” Type Layer, the “links shape” Layer, the links” Type Layer, the “contact shape” Layer, and the “contact” Type Layer.

Button  Shapes and White Type linked together in Map.

Make sure “trips shape” Layer  is selected in the Layers  Palette .  Use the Move Tool  to drag the buttons over to the master document we’ve created.  You’ll notice that the Layers and Layer content have been copied to the new document.  The Image Map content, however, hasn’t been copied so take this opportunity to reapply it to the 3 shape Layers using the Layer Menu  method.  Position the Navigation Bar  to the left for now.
