Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool<\/strong> and create button, mine Radius<\/strong> is 15px<\/strong>, width: 128px<\/strong> and height: 36px<\/strong>. Change your foreground color to a nice #13AAB7<\/strong>(Blue).
\n\"slik-red-button-step2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step #4<\/h4>\n

Now we need to add some nice effects to the button.<\/p>\n

Gradient Overlay<\/h4>\n

Styling the Button double-click on the Button Layer\u2019s thumbnail in the Layers Panel to open up the Layer Styles dialog box, we will apply a Vertical Gradient Effect<\/strong> for your Button<\/strong>. Then click on the Color Gradient<\/strong> on the right of the Gradient option to open up the Color Gradient Editor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First change the blending<\/strong> option to Overlay<\/strong>. Keep the angle<\/strong> at 90o<\/strong>, than changing the values of Opacity. I choose to set the Opacity<\/strong> at 50%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"slik-red-button-step4a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Double-click<\/strong> on left-color-stop<\/strong> and enter the color value #000000<\/strong>, then double-click on right-color-stop and enter the color value #FFFFFF<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"slik-red-button-step4b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Inner Glow<\/h4>\n

Next apply the inner glow layer style. First change the blending<\/strong> option to Overlay<\/strong> , than changing the values of opacity and Size. I choose to set the opacity at 55% and Size at 6px.<\/p>\n

Change the glow Color<\/strong> from the default to #FFFFFF<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"slik-red-button-step4c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Drop SHadow<\/h4>\n

Next apply the drop shadow<\/strong> layer style. First change the blending<\/strong> option to Normal<\/strong>. Keep the angle<\/strong> at 120o<\/strong>, than changing the values of Opacity and Size. I choose to set the Opacity<\/strong> at 55%<\/strong> and Size<\/strong> at 3px<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"slik-red-button-step4d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Should look like this.<\/p>\n

\"slik-red-button-step4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step # 5<\/h4>\n

Create another new layer, make a selection around your original button, you can do this by holding ctrl <\/strong>then clicking the layer\u2019s thumbnail.).<\/p>\n

\"slik-red-button-step5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fill the foreground color to White<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool <\/strong>, select and delete the bottom half of the white layer you just made, you might need to measure the height of your button before deleting the bottom half.<\/p>\n

\"slik-red-button-step5a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First you need to change the layer mode option to Softlight, than changing the values of opacity. I choose to set the opacity at 20% <\/p>\n

Step # 6<\/h4>\n

Select Horizontal Type Tool<\/strong> and Type Text on front.<\/p>\n

Final<\/h4>\n
