Although I'm challenging creation of Theme for the first time using Max's ThemeTemplate, I don't understand the method of importing a *.psd file into ThemePark.

I know it's not good design yet.

Thanks!

when you want to take a resource into PhotoShop, just select it in ThemePark and right-click, then go 'Send to PhotoShop...'

to get it back into ThemePark affter you've edited it, go back to ThemePark (with the thing you want to import frontmost & that window currently selected in PhotoShop) and right-click again and select 'Retrieve from PhotoShop...'.

did i help?

Over here these options are grayed out. Is that because I have but the PhotoShop Elements, or because I miss a PhotoShop filter of some kind, or ?

Thanks for reply.

No, some psd files with many layers are included in the template of Max, and I want to learn how to make ThemePark import those layers, respectively.

Gerrit, check ThemePark's built-in help. It tells you what's necessary to use the built-in Photoshop integration.
Geekspiff - generating spiffdiddlee software since before you began paying attention.

I have a question to the theme authors.
For what purpose do you use ThemeTemplate? And would you explain the usage?

I thought that I could import each layer to ThemePark. However, I have noticed that it was a mistake.

However, I do not yet understand the useful usage of ThemeTemplate.


Thanks for answers.

if you use the theme template you still have to go into themepark to each individual element of each individual element and put it in there that way. you can't just use the theme template then import that whole thing into themepark, you gotta go to each element export that to photoshop then import the file from photoshop to themepark.

theme template is there so you can look at the your elements when you create them, not to make things easier. well, it kinda does, but using it adds an extra step, it doesn't remove any.

I understood... It seems using Template is too difficult for me, so I'm going to only use ThemePark and Photoshop.

And thank you for answer very much. Tomorrow is holiday, so I'll try to make my Theme.

Although I thought "too much copy and paste is too troublesome...", but I completely forgot that there is Resource size layer. IT'S VERY USEFUL!!
