tutorial on making Web buttons with PS style

Preface: Do the page effect diagram often encounter to do the button, in order to make the effect more realistic, let the boss more intuitive see results, certainly will not pass the button this detail.

Of course, if you want to customize the more a bit of a desire button, then use the background image directly. This only discusses the effect of the button in the default state of the system without modification.

Body:

In my habit, to get a thing will play first, and then dismantling, and finally reorganization, so that they can feel the understanding of this thing.

The same is the case for buttons.

The first step is to recognize the button. The button has three states, normal (normal), mouse hover (hover), press (active).

The second step is to disassemble the analysis. First, the suspension of the state analysis bar.

The main elements are: blue border, light inside glow, internal gradient, left and right sides of the gloss. From the big start:

① internal gradient, mainly two colors, there are two solutions, one is a small change in the gradient, plus the soft light pattern of the inner shadow, but its disadvantage is that the inner shadow of the coverage is fixed, the button height changes will not follow the changes.

Another scenario is a gradient of two primary colors, where the middle junction can be maintained at a height of 50%, which is the middle position.

② Blue border, this simple, one inside stroke to solve out.

③ light inside light, direct use of inner glow, reduce the degree of diffusion is the blocking slider to the right pull.

④ luster, the angle of 0 gloss style on it.

The above four layer style combinations, you can handle this button. Easy to use, copy layer style, paste layer style.

For the normal state of the button style, compared to the suspension state can be found, less hue, this can be achieved by adding a gray effect, the method is to add a mixed mode of "saturation" of the gray color overlay,

Then modify the border color, remove the gloss style, and then fine-tune the interior of the large gradient can be.

Press the state, it is to add an inner shadow of the style, the angle does not matter, the distance to 0 on the line, adjust the shadow size just.

The third step is reorganization. The specific parameters are shown below:
