Photoshop : Creating a Series of Buttons
Daniel Garance
Special Effects
You will have to use layer effects to give some depth to your button:
- Select Layers > Effects > Bevel and emboss.

- The effect is immediately visible on the image. If you are happy with it, click on OK; if not, adjust the dialog box settings.

- Click on OK.

To apply an effect on text, click on the layer containing the button text and repeat the three steps listed above.
Figure 6: We have applied the Bevel and Emboss effect on the text using the Emboss option, and applied the Bevel and Emboss
effect to the button using the Inner Bevel option.
