Our
next step is to import our logo, which we’ll position
at the top of our Home Page. Open “travelogo”
in Photoshop format that you saved earlier.
The Logo, as it is, is too big for our purposes
so flatten it by selecting, Layer /Flatten Image
and resize it to 200 pixels wide by selecting Image/Image
Size. Use the Move Tool to drag
the flattened logo into the master document.
Because we won’t be modifying the layout of our
Logo we don’t need to have all of the Logo’s elements
as separate Layers .
It’s
a good idea to rename the Logo Layer for
our reference and separate it in the Layers
Palette from the buttons.
You might ask why we didn’t link and merge the Type
Layers with their corresponding button shapes,
such as linking and merging the “contact” Type
Layer with the “contact shape” Layer?
If you do so, the Image Map information is
lost. You might want to do so anyway if you
like, but you will have to reapply the Image
Map settings. Position the Logo near the
top right of the master document. If you haven’t
done so already, select File/Save As and save the
master document as “homepage” in Photoshop format.

Gate
Picture
Our next step is to bring in the “shrinegate”
picture we created earlier. Open “shrinegate”
in Photoshop format and use the Move Tool
to drag the picture image to our “homepage”
document. You’ll notice that it’s too big
for our layout. Select “Edit/Transform /Numeric”
to change its dimensions. Check Constrain
Proportions under Scale and
input “70” in the Percent field. Position
them between the buttons and the Logo and fit it
perfectly to the height of our “master document”.
Rename the Layer “gate.” If you
wish you can use this opportunity to apply a filter
or two to the photograph.
