Photoshop Tutorial - Create a Glass Sphere or Gel Button

Back


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.
