    Seems like a multi layered image created in Photoshop.

    Do you need one created?

    well, depends. if i can learn how to do it no. but if someone's going to charge me 100 bucks for a stupid button then no also :p

    i tried doing it in photoshop, but i couldn't get that glassy look. i just want to put it in my mouth or something :p

    I'll do it for $10 bucks. . .does that sound good?

    When do you need this buy and what do you have to have on it.

    Do you want it to be orange or another color?

    Skinny

    BTW $100 is crazy!

    Hey and if you need more then one I'll cut you a deal. If you do end up doing it yourself I hope you get it.

    Just play around with it. That's how I ever got decent.

    Why give a man a fish and feed him for a day, when you can teach a man to fish and feed him for a life time?

    SVZ, buttons like these are very easy to create, and can be done in less than 10 mins. If you have msn, and adobe photoshop I will be happy to teach you how to create a button of this type.

    Skinny is right. It is a multi layed image created in a program like photoshop. Its simply circles with the opacity adjusted, and a simple gradient. Then with a shadow. :)

    [​IMG]

    The .PSD file can be downloaded here:

    http://h1.ripway.com/ncote2/greenglossybutton.psd

    If anyone has any questions feel free to PM for help.


    Edit: If anyone still doesnt understand how this button was created after looking at the .PSD file, ill create a tutorial. :)

    Duplicating it looks easy, creating it in the first place alittle harder.

    play with gradiants and bevel, that should get you pretty far.
