• Graphics TipsPhotoshop Tips #5 - Another Cool 3D Button
    Step One Make a new file that is square. Choose a light color and fill the square with it.
    Step Two Using the selection tool on the radial setting , make a circle. Now use the gradient tool and set the Type=Radial. Fill the circle from white to any dark color, by clicking on the top-left of the circle and dragging to the bottom right of the circle.
    Step Three Now click on SELECT/MODIFY/CONTRACT and enter in 5 or so. Now repeat step 2 by filling, the now smaller circle, from bottom-right to upper-left. You could leave it how it is, but if you want other variations follow the next steps.
    Step Four Now click on SELECT/MODIFY/CONTRACT and enter in 3 or so. Fill, the now even smaller circle, with a flat medium color.
    Step Five If you want to add even more dimention, fill the circle with the first gradient we used (left to right). There you have it, several ways to make several styles of buttons.
