Creating Bevel Buttons - Paint Shop Pro (PSP) 7 Tutorial

Create a new image , 200x200 with a light blue background(#6598CB). Now create a new raster layer , and name it button. Then, using the circle selection tool create a circle, starting in the middle of the canvas.

With the selection still active, click on the flood fill , and fill the selection with white. Then contract the selection by going to Selections | Modify | Contract , and enter 15. Press Delete, or fill this selection with the same light blue you used before(#6598CB). Finally, get your original selection by going to Selections | Modify | Expand , and entering 15. You should have a white ring that looks like mine.

Now is the hard part. With the selections still active, add an inner bevel with these settings .

Next, make a new raster layer, and name it "drop shadow". With the selection still active, go to Effects | 3D Effects | Drop Shadow , and enter these settings.

You're done! Now you can add whatever text you want - and x, a >>, etc. You can also resize them down to add to your site, I would do about 15 to 20 pixels wide. Good Luck. If you have any questions, Contact Me
