Photoshop Tutorial - Create a Glass Sphere or Gel Button

The most commonly requested Adobe Photoshop tutorial seems to be the one which shows how to create a glassy sphere or button. Never one to take a back seat, I thought I'd throw my basic Photoshop version into the mix. This is a tutorial showing how to create a glass Photoshop button set into a metallic base. The Photoshop file uses three flat shape layers with layer styles applied.

With a layer selected, click the 'add a layer style' button at the bottom of the layers palette. Then choose your layer style. There's a full writeup of this at the website shown on the video, /glass-photoshop.html

It's difficult to know how to respond to a message like this. I guess I just don't understand how someone can be so rude and abusive over a simple free video. I'm not your teacher - it's not a compulsory lesson - if you don't find it useful, move on with your life and try not to get so angry about the little things. And try and learn some manners. And maybe a couple of new words instead of letters.

When I choose the center option on stroke style for the layer, I get a thin circle in the middle of the stroke
