Glossy Buttons

Photoshop Tutorials - Glossy Buttons 1

Step 1:

Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 400x200 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a white color. Now create a new layer set and name it 'Glossy Buttons'.

Select the Rectangle Tool and above your screen under the options palette check anti-aliased. Create a new layer and draw a rectangle with 126×27 px dimensions and #B8F416 color shade.

Checklist

Remember, if designing for print, set your workspace to 300dpi and at actual size to be used, or larger. Many people use higher resolutions, 600dpi for instance, but this is not necessary, and will not improve the final print quality.

If designing just for the web, then a 72dpi workspace is fine.

Another thing to consider - if designing for print, then make sure 'Mode' is set for CMYK.

Insert > Mode > CMYK

Only use RGB mode if designing for the web.
