Photoshop Tutorial: How to create a glossy web button

In this tutorial I am going to be showing you how to create a glossy looking web button like the one you see here.



Step 1: Make a new document 100 pixels wide by 50 pixels high.

Step 2: Set the foreground colour to the colour that you want. I will be using #066ceb for this tutorial but you can use any colour you want. Make sure the background colour is white.




Step 3: Use the elipse tool to draw an oval. This will be the shape of the button.





Step 4: From the layer menu select layer/layer style/inner glow and use these settings.




Step 5: From the layer menu select layer/layer style/inner shadow and use these settings.




Step 6: Use the type tool to add a text layer with the text that you want on your button.




Step 7: With the text layer selected select layer/layer style/bevel and emboss and use these settings.




Step 8: Duplicate the shape layer and drag it so that it's on top of the text layer. You should now have the text layer between the 2 shape layers like this.




Step 9: Change the fill of the top layer to 0% and the opacity to 25%




Step 10: Delete the background layer and your button should now look like this.




You now have the finished button and that takes us to the end of this tutorial.

Photoshop Tutorial: How To Create Metallic Text

In this tutorial I am going to show you how to create metallic text like the image shown below.




Step 1: Create a new file 500 pixels wide by 200 pixels high





Step 2: Hit "D" to set the foreground colour to black and the background colour to white




Step 3: From the filter menu select filter/noise/add noise and use these settings.




Step 4: From the filter menu select filter/blur/motion blur and use these settings




Step 5: Hit ctrl+F to apply the same filter again. Your image should now look something like this.




Step 6: Use the Horizontal Type Mask Tool add whatever text you want. Use a nice thick font like Impact or Arial Black. For this tutorial I am going to be using Impact.




Once you have finished typing click on the move tool and you should have a selection looking like this.




Step 7: Hit Ctrl+Shift+I to invert the selection.

Step 8: Right click on the background layer and select Layer from background and name it texture.

Step 9: With the texture layer selected hit Delete to remove the selection.

Step 10:Hit Ctrl+D to deselect it. Your image should now look something like this.



Step 11: With the texture layer selected go to the layer menu and select layer/layer style/bevel and emboss. I have used these settings but the settings may need to be adjusted to work with the font that you have chosen to use.



Step 12: If you want you can create a metallic background using steps 3-5 on a new layer beneath the one with the text. I have rotated it slightly to give it a bit of a twist.

If you have followed the instructions step by step you should now have some text with a metallic effect like the image below.
