Creating Glossy Buttons

- Create a new canvas a size around 300 by 100.
- Using the Shape tool, use the round rectangle tool with a radius of 5 px as shown in the pic.


- Create a new layer


- Then create a nice size button that would fit your website.


- Next right click on the layer and go to blending options.
- Add a 1px black stroke inside.


- Then add a color overlay of a nice color you like but not to light.
- Then add a satin with a lighter color as shown in the pic.


- Now create another new layer.
- Use the elliptical marquee tool.


- Add a nice highlight to the button like in the picture.


- Now use the gradient tool to add a white gradient like in the picture.


- Then change the opacity of the gradient layer to 90%
- Now hold ctrl and click on the button layer so it highlights it.
- And then go to select>inverse and click on the gradient layer then hit delete.
- Now create a new layer in between the gradient layer and the button layer.
- Now use the Horizontal Type Tool to create text in black. Here is my final.
