Adding Layers to a Page

Keep this in mind: you can customize a menu page just like you would any
slide. Add layers (image or video), arrange them within the menu page and
adjust their size and appearance.

You can think of the Layers tab as being a combination of the Layer
Settings and Adjustments tabs from the Slide Options window. You have
a little bit of everything here.

Layers, just like show thumbnails, are added on a per page basis.

On the left side of the preview you'll find a Layers on Page list. This list will
show you the layers that appear on each individual page in your menu. At
the top of the list you’ll find tools nearly identical to what you’re already
using in your slides. The Add (+) button lets you add more layers to the
page and the Trashcan icon deletes them. You can change the order of
layers using the up and down arrows.

The goal here is to do just what you do when you’re making a slide. Add
and adjust layers so that your page looks great. You have almost all of the
same freedom here as you do with a normal slide.

Customizing Layers

You’ll see that you have similar Layer Settings, Adjustments, Editing
Tools, Outline and Colorize options that you're already used to. These
tools work the same way here as they do in Slide Options. You can find
more information about these features in Chapter 8, where they’re
explained in full detail.
