When you magnify your image?s view by a percentage higher than 100%, you can use the Navigator palette to show the hidden areas of the image. There are three ways you can do this: One, use the buttons at the bottom of the palette; two, use the Hand tool inside the view box (it?s visible only if the magnification is higher than 100%) to drag the hidden areas into view; three, click the area you wish to center in the image window. Although denigrated by many, the Navigator palette is actually quite useful when you work at large magnifications and your document view fills either the whole screen or almost the entire screen.With its aid, you can locate the section of the image that you wish to work on very easily. If you like, you can enlarge the palette by dragging from the lower-right corner. To return the palette to the default size, click the radio button in the title bar marked with the plus sign. Furthermore, just in case the view border in the Navigator proxy window clashes with image content, you can change it to a color of your choice. To do so, choose Palette Options from the palette menu and then either select a preset color from the pop-up menu or click the color box and select a color in the Color Picker (Figure 3-36).
In this tutorial, we're going to create a simple, tabbed navigation bar for use on a website. This is an effect that's very easy to achieve and looks great, so let's get started.
Creating a Web Navigation Bar is relatively stragiht forward in Adobe PhotoShop. In this tutorial, we will look at how we can create a simple navigation bar for a website, and how we can use slices to export the images and HTML.
2. Create a browser template by opening FireFox (we prefer it for Web Development), Navigator, or Internet Explorer, and doing a "Print Screen" (command-shift-3 on a Mac) and then open it into Photoshop. Note that there is an extension for FireFox that automates screen shots for you called "Snapper", available for Windows and Mac OS (get it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2703/). Photoshop makes a new document with this template as the bottom layer. Next, crop the image to the edges of the browser window.
Start with a large black canvas. Make a new layer set titled Modern Navigation. In a new layer draw a thin #650000 rectangle using the rectangle tool. (width: 400 x height: 4) Add the following layer styles: Gradient Overlay.
Photoshop doesnt appear to add a stroke to a blank layer either when you advise "Again select the main header layer and make a new layer. Right click the selection and apply Stroke."
Well, in this Photoshop tutorial we'll be designing a creative-style template navigation set, similar to the type you might see on some older TemplateMonster templates. You can see what we'll be designing with this tutorial in the below image.
Duplicate the main render, apply Filter > Brush Strokes > Spatter with any old settings, set the layer mode to Lighten and erase a few parts with a soft brush.
Now repeat the button steps so you have two new buttons - I've decided that I'd make the middle one a different colour to stand out (this can be like a mouse over effect or something if you decided to code this navigation bar for a web layout). The blue colours I used for that are #14b9ef and #054573.
To start off with, create a new document, for the purpose of this tutorial I have chosen 500 by 200 pixels. Fill the background with a radial gradient from a medium-dark grey to a darker grey. You can do this by selecting the gradient tool from the tool box and setting it to radial. Set your foreground colour to #45443f and your background colour to #31302c. Left click in the middle of the document, drag to the right and release.
The last step is to add in a background colour behind the active link (in my case I've made the Photoshop Tutorials link active) so create a new layer behind the text layer and make a selection of 210 by 30 pixels and fill with #171717.

In this tutorial I'll be teaching you how to make a clean white navigation menu using a couple of layer styles - very generic - great for use in web layouts.
In this tutorial you will learn how to create a professional, horizontal gaming navigational menu. If you have any questions about this tutorial be sure to ask in the comments. Also, remember with all the tutorials, the psd is available for download.
It's always fun to get an email from a reader with a very specific request. In this case the request was for a tutorial based on the the car stereo style navigation bar used in Volkswagen's website. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we're going to work straight from an example file of the original.
Select the Horizontal Type Tool then set the font family to Bookmark Old Style, bold, 12 pt, none and white color shade. In a new text layer type your website name above the navigation interface. Then under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay blending option.
Select your main navigation bar again by holding ctrl and clicking the layer thumbnail. Move the selection down one pixel (down arrow key) then half the selection. Inside of this selection draw a red or orange gradient. The color I used for my gradient was #e25333. Now change the layer mode for this layer to Linear Dodge. That layer mode change didn't change much, but it blended it in a bit better with the red color.
Thanks for visiting the site. In this Photoshop tutorial I will be showing you how to make an industrial-style navigation button, well-suited for a clan template or something of the sort. You can see the result below.
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your dark red rectangle layer.
We easily make the inactive tabs stand out more with a couple of blending options... right-click the layer and click "Blending options..."
Start with a large black canvas, in your layers window make a new layer set and name it 3D Navigation Tab. Choose your rounded rectangle tool with a 20 px radius, in a new layer draw a 190 x 32 pixels, #6D6D6D colored rounded rectangle.
Things should now be looking like the example below, with a subtle gradient from bottom to top of the navigation bar.
The navigation of a website plays a huge part of its design and can make or break the style. Because of this you should pay quite a lot of attention to your navigation when designing it to ensure that your users get the most out of your site. In this tutorial I will show you how to create a fairly basic, but stylish website navigation bar. 1. You should start off by creating a new document. The size all depends on how big your navigation is going to be. For example if your webiste is 760px wide then you should create your document at least 760px wide also. For this tutorial however, I am using a fairly small sized document to save space. 2. Select the Rectangular Marquee tool from the tools window (or press M on your keyboard). Now at the top of your window click on the Style drop down box and select Fixed Size. Then enter the approiate sizes in pixels. Ive chosen 350px by 25px. Now click on your workspace so that you can see the selected area. 3. Create a new layer by going to Layer >> New Layer and call it Bar. 4. Click on the foreground colour in the tools window and set it to a ligh grey. Im using #C7C5C5. Click OK and then fill in the selected area with that colour. You should have something similar to the following: 5. Now were going to actually make it look good. Right-click on the Bar layer and select Blending Options. From here you can apply a wide selection of effects however were only going to be looking at Gradient Overlay and Stroke. 6. Click on Gradient Overlay. Make sure that the selected gradient is going from black to white or vice versa. Set the opacity to 30% and the angle to 90 degrees. Now click on Stroke. Change the size to 1px and the position to Outside. Set its opacity to 40% and its colour to black. Now click OK. 7. You should now see that your bar has got a smooth gradient on it as well as a border around the outside. Mine looks like this: 8. Now were going to split up the navigation bar so we can have links on it. To do this select the Single Row Marquee Tool. If you cant see it on the tools window then right-click on the rectangular marquee tool and select it from the drop down. Now click on your bar whereever you want your first dividing line to be. Then simply press the Delete key on your keyboard. Do this as many times as you need until you have enough sections. 9. The next step is adding some text onto the navigation bar. You can do this by clicking on the text tool on the tools window and then clicking where you want it to go. All you have to do now is type in whatever links you want. If you want to change the font of the text go to Window >> Character and change the settings in the Character window. Thats all thats to it. 10. You can then add some other effects such as adding a stroke to the text. You can do this the same way you done it earlier through the blending options window. My final result is:

Congratulations, you have finished reading this tutorial on how to make a web 2.0 navigation bar. I hoped this will help you in your future projects as well as the current ones.
Learn to make a good looking Navigation bar with a Professional Web 2.0 style, using layer styles and also you can add it a nice and simple hover.
You can select more than one layer at a time-but only in ImageReady, not Photoshop. To select multiple layers, Shift-click if the layers are next to one another in the Layers palette; Command/Ctrl-click if they are not. Select the Move tool, and make sure its Layer Select tool variation is highlighted in the Options bar. Click on the button in the image and drag to the right to move the duplicate button and its text B. Notice the light blue lines that appear and disappear as you move the button C. These are Smart Guides-temporary alignment guides that display automatically when you move an object. Use them to align the buttons horizontally as you drag. Release the mouse when a vertical Smart Guide appears in between the two buttons, indicating that they are no longer overlapping.
Today I’ll be teaching you guys on how to design and code advance css navigation. The navigation that I’m going to teach you is a glossy horizontal navigation.
True, the hand could have been erased a little bit better to get rid of some of that extra pixelization. Good luck in your efforts!
uh.. yea what u do is slice each button seperately then in dreamweaver or whatever select the image and in the properties bar select the adress ex: www.jfuca.net the 2 programs that work well in images turned into a site are dreamweaver and adobe photoshop. try it out and look for tuts
In this example we can change the value 89,21% to 200% by entering a value of 200 and pressing enter. Sometimes this status bar is disabled and in that case you have to go the menu and select Window / Status Bar to enable it ( will appear in front of it). Note: in Photoshop CS2 every single document window has its own status bar, in earlier versions there's only one status bar for all images (at the bottom).
In this tutorial we are going to make a this simple and clean menu bar. You will make a menu bar like this: Start out by creating a blank document. Use [ Rectangle Tool (U) ] to draw a rectangle as shown. Right click on its layer and click on [ Resterize Layer ].
