photoshop Tutorial plastic button

Post by asmail1 »

Plastic Button

Just your ordinary plastic button... but easier

1. Make a new image, ours is 180 x 85 - with a white background

2. Fill the background with a soft blue [ we used #3A6795]

3. Make a new layer + **** your rectangular marquee tool and **** Style > Fixed size - and give it a fixed size of 150 x 45 px

4. **** your screen to make the rectangle


Image
5. On the layers palate, **** Channels, and **** create new channel

Image

6. Fill the rectangle in with white by hitting ALT + Backspace

7. With it still selected, press Filter > blur > Guassian blur - and give it a setting of 12

8. **** Image > adjust > levels and give it these settings to smoothen the ovalar shape
Image



9. **** ok

10. Hold CTRL and press D to deselect

11. Hold CTRL and **** the thumbnail of the alpha layer on the channels pallate...

Image

12. Switch back to your layers palate, and **** THE TOP LAYER and fill the selection with any colour.
Image


13. **** Layer > layer style > blending options and give it all of these following settings...

thats all there is to do it... it takes a bit to get all the settings right, but not as long as it took me to make this thing :P

If you **** NEW STYLE on the blending options, and give some text that style, it looks pretty cool also :D[/img]
