    Placing a .png logo in the corner of a menu in DVDA. The logo looks pristine in Photoshop and when used in Vegas. In DVDA it is crazy jaggy and fuzzy. I’ve tried resizing in PS and in DVDA but always the same. Any idea why only DVDA makes this happen?

    thanks
    Steven

    IMO, DVDA does not do a good job of accurately previewing final quality.
    Have you burned it to a DVD and watched it?

    Yeah, tried that and it still looks terrible, super jaggy.

    I wouldn’t resize in DVD Architect. Make it the exact size you need in Photoshop first and just drop it on the menu in DVD Architect. I create all of my menus completely in Photoshop so DVD Architect shows me exactly what I see in Photoshop because there is no resizing going on. You might consider doing the whole menu in Photoshop.

    I finally realized that DVDA was resizing by default, which was causing the problem. Right clicking on the graphic and selecting “Make graphic actual size” fixes the issue. The slight resizing was just enough to make all edges look awful, as opposed to looking pristine in PS.

    Thanks for the help!

    You’re welcome. Glad you figured it out. DVD Architect just isn’t good at resizing so I avoid it.
