Adobe Photoshop Tut -- Nice Glowing Button

Just a few steps to achieve a nice glowing button in Adobe Photoshop
1. Create a new document with below settings or you can try a bigger size. 2. Create a new empty layer.
3. Select the Gradient tool and use below setting.

Now you should have something like this. 4. Create another layer. Set your foreground to Pure Cyan [00adef]. Select Radial Gradiant tool. From the middle buttom of the layer, click and drag upward to the top. And you should have something like the picture below.

5. Create another blank layer. Select white as your foreground and do the same like in step four. Set its Blending Mode (from the layer pallete) to Overlay.

6. New layer, select rectangle marquee tool and make a selection as shown below. Fill it with white, then change its opacity (from Layer Pallete) to 50% or whatever value you prefer.

7. New layer again, make another selection as shown below. Again, fill it with white, then change its opacity value to 20%.

Your image would be like something below. Ok? Let's move on!

8. On a new layer, use marquee tool to make a selection as below, then set your foreground to white. With the Reflected Gradient tool, click and drag from the very center to the side.

9. Last of all, add text to your artwork, change the text layer's opacity to blend into the button. And that's it!!!

I also learnt it from other site. So it's here to share with you all...!
