got a lil guesstion the tool you use by the regtengula blablabla thing is at the ends round and whe ni fdo this its not round , but why how to fix it?

[SqualrusCT]

@XxGazzipxX You should be able to hold in the square Rectangle Tool button, which will pop out more shape options, like the Line Tool, Ellipse Tool and Rounded Rectangle Tool.

Good explanation. How can you get the text appear to glow as if backlit?

[SqualrusCT]

If you double click the text layer, a window will come up with all of the different types of effects that can be applied to that layer. You can try the different properties by checking the box and selecting that effect, and then changing all of the settings associated with it. For a back-lighting, I guess i would suggest the 'Outer Glow' effect. Hope that is what you are looking for.

Thank you for the feedback, but was it bad that I said that, or just funny?

I found this to be very helpful -- simple and straight forward. The centering tip was helpful as well. Thank you for posting this. Don't know why everyone else is complaining...

You should try Cool Button Designer. You dont need to have a photoshop, it cost 9.99 and it does make glossy, plastic and windows 7 buttons with easy in 5 minutes. It gives you control over the glare gradient, light reflection, smoothness, light itself, etc... It also generated mouse over and mouse clicked states and they can be in different color and easy to set. It generates the HTML Code. You should try it! . It does the job well. I strongly recommend you! Google for Cool Button Designer 7.3

Great tutorial, but can be done a lot easier and more thoroughly with blending options.

If you want you can take 20 films about how to use this option like, pen, layers and others and show what user can do with this. And after show how to make with this all options together.
