Lemon, thank you so much, but my problem is trying to use the Shift-Ctrl-I command. That key is associated with a different piece of software on my machine. When I invert�or is it inverse?�.using the Image/Adjustment command it just changes the colors like inverting is supposed to do. So how can I do step 9 without using that particular key command? I feel pretty dumb about this too since Ive been working with photoshop for a lot of years now and usually pick things up pretty fast. I cant find anything in the Help file for this either. Thanks again for trying to help. Im open to any other advice you might have. BTW, I have CS3, does that matter? Seems to me I used to be able to do this using the Group/wPrevious command but that isnt there anymore.

You can stop here! But if you want to make your button more attractive, I will show you an interesting technique.

Being election season in the US, I've had quite a few requests for a tutorial on creating political style buttons in Photoshop. One loyal reader wanted to know if it was possible via a single set of Layer Styles, which is what we'll be doing in this lesson.

Now make a new layer and make a selection around the top of the button. Look at the picture for reference. Fill this with white. and change the opacity to 30%.

1. Create a new document (200*200) and fill the background with #000000 using the paint bucket tool. We're going to make a browse button for a proxy template for example... The text in the button can be changed and so it can be used for everything. A download button, upload button, submit button, etc...

Now hold down the Ctrl key and with the left mouse button press on the Red thumbnail from the layer palette. You can notice that a selection will be visible around the red button. this is what we need - the selection

My end result looked like this after making a few buttons, your buttons should look similar if not the same if you have followed this tutorial.

1. We are pretty much finished with the button. However, we can add extra touch to make the button looks more beautiful.

30. The button is ready now. You can put the text "Submit" with your chosen color. This is what I have:

First lets get started by creating a New Document (File > New�). Make the file size 88 Width, and 31 Height. After you have done that, fill your Background Color with Blue (#1C72F3), and press "Ctrl+Backspace" to fill the image with that blue color.

8. Now again from the Shape Tool select a new Ellipse shape and the select Glass Buttons in the shape style and select the shape which is shown with the red circle.

Step 3. Make a new layer and a shape filled white and make sure its placed on top of the button.

Step 3: In a new layer draw a large white circle with 147 x 147 px dimensions on the center of the current button design.

6. Now type out some #ffffff text and center it on your button. We just need to add a drop shadow to this text and then we're ready so go on!

Hold down Ctrl key and click on button layer to select it. Then, take the Rectangular marquee tool and set the options like the picture below shows you.

1. Create a new file. Create a new layer. Draw the Elliptical button and fill it with the color shown in the figure.

Now drag the orb you layer you have created into the button document. And shrink it down to size to it fit's into the button like so:

4. Make a gradient just over the middle of the button and go to Select/Modify/Contract and put 1px, then create a New Layer and fill it with any color, press Ctrl + D and change the fill to 0%

19. Now for another fun part! Here is the home icon I used for the logo. The easiest way is for you to copy this image and paste it in your document. Or you may save it to your computer, open it in a new document, and drag it into your current design.

To add a glass effect make a new layer, select half of the button , the top half and fill it white. Lower opacity to around 30% and you are done. This is my final result:

OK now the last step is to add the text. Just write anything using possibly a white text. That would fit in the best. This is what I came up with. Good luck with your buttons.

Finally for the finishing touch use a web 2.0 type text to give it that web 2.0 feeling. For this tutorial I am using Trebuchet MS, Bold setting, Size 18 Pt with text color as #FFFFFF, add whatever text you like onto your new button:

Select Move tool and align the circles. press on the button marked with red from the next image " Align vertical centers "

1. Normally Affiliate buttons are 88x31px, but to get a nice background fist we shall make a bigger canvas. So open a new canvas (300x300px), press ctrl + D to reset your colors and go to 'filter' > 'render' > 'clouds'. Now create new layer (ctrl + shift + N) with your second layer go to 'filter' > 'render' > 'clouds'. Then 'filter' > 'distort' > 'twirl' and use this settings:

Next, select the "Rounded Rectangle Tool" once again and draw a rectangle as illustrated below with a radius of 5 pixels and color 0098d7. Name this layer "Button Window" in the Layers Palette.

You will now have a nice button, you can now add text in it or whatever you want. Here is my final result:

Now that you have your button, you can now right click on the button layer and select, "Blending Options...". Now click on "Inner Shadow".

We'll begin this tutorial, by creating a new canvas at a size of 281 x 129. Next, select the "Rounded Rectangle Tool". Draw a rectangle as illustrated below with a radius of 5 pixels and color 1f3347. Name this layer "Button".

Create a new layer and import the Firefox icon on the stage, resize it (Ctrl-T) and set the opacity to 60%

Select the Marque tool, and drag it accross the whole image , and create new layer, then fill layer, and then go to layer > layer style > stroke, make it 1px, and black.

You probably didn't use all the space in the image, so lets remove the unnecessary area around the button. Zoom in to 300% and use the Crop Tool to drag a rectangle around the button and press enter to remove everything on the outside. That's it! You're done. Use File > Save for web (Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S) to save it as a transparent gif.

Take tool Rectangle Marquee Tool. Having clamped Shift, move a framework of allocation upwards buttons Upwards and Downwards. Now keeping Ctrl+Alt also click on a layer "Bosco".

I've added a minor gloss to the button as well as some hearts and a reflection. The heart style is the same as what was used on the "Button" layer. The smaller heart, the style was decreased (Layer, Layer Style then Scale Effects down to 30%). I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Next, grab the "Rounded Rectangle Tool" and draw a rectangle with a radius of 10 pixels with 1684a4 as the color. Name this layer "Button" in the Layers Palette.

Step 11 - Then, I just grabbed my Gradient(g) tool, and picked some darker grey, and a mid-tone grey. and made about 2- 3 horizontal swipes with it. I also have my gradient on "Reflected Gradient" Then I duplicated this layer, and went to Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal. Then I just used the Move(v) tool, and moved it to the other side of our document. You can Now use a decent amount of Outer Glow, and set the color to white. Now, just play with the blending modes and see the different results you can get.

Apply Select > Modify > Contract > 6 pixels and then press Ctrl+Shift+I. Create a new layer. Press "D" to reset colors and then "X" to set the white color to foreground. Choose a Gradient Tool with "Foreground to Transparent" and fill the selection from the left to the center. Then press "X" button again to set the black color to foreground. Choose a Gradient Tool with "Foreground to Transparent" and fill the selection from the right to the center. Now apply Select > Load Selection (Ctrl+Alt+4) and then press Ctrl+Shift+I and press DEL.

Next, select the "Rounded Rectangle Tool". Draw a rectangle as illustrated below with a radius of 5 pixels and color 2a425f. Name this layer "Button".

1. Create a new 165 x 165 pixel. Press D then X and fill the document with white. Then create a new layer, select the rectangular marquee tool and then make a button-like selection anywhere. With the selection still active Press D, then apply a stroke with settings [Width: 1px, Color: Black, Location: Center, other settings leave as default] and deselect. Now you may notice that your rectangle isn't perfectly center, even though it doesn't matter that much, you may visit this tutorial and center your button outline.

Here the Button looks really great, but lets make it better. Select > Modify > Contract - Contract By = 4 px - Select > Feather - Radius = 2 px

Now click on the Type Tool and type something on to the button. If you reduce the Opacity to 50% or less on your text layer what ever you type onto your pill button will look like its inside the button.

6. Now for the round button in the middle. We'll make this on a new layer, so click the Create a New Layer button at the bottom of the Layers palette.

11. Create a new layer, rename this layer as "light". These layer will add a nice light effect to the button.

Step 1: First click on Rounded Tool and make a simple shape. Then right click on the shape and select Blending Options:

Now we are going to apply some effects to the first layer, follow these screenshots for the blending options.

Now that it has been blurred we can use levels command-l (ctrl-l) toconvert the blurriness to a nice smooth curve. It is important to note that this step requires the black blurred object to be on a white background. If you don't have a white background: add a new layer beneath the object layer and ensure it is filled with white. Now click on the object layer and press command-e (ctrl-e) to merge it with the layer beneath it.

I needed to make a big button which gave the illusion of being pressed in when a user hovered the mouse over it for a client.

Right click on your layer and go to “Blending Options� and make them the same as the settings below
