Hi,

Thanks for the tutorial, after some fiddling I got it looking ok.

The part that messed it up for me to start with was getting the gradient transform line wrong.

As a newbie to Design, I would enjoy any more like this.

A better way to do the gloss is to make both gradient stops white. Just make, for this example the left one have 0% opacity and the right one something around %90. Everything is basically the same.

This allows you to change the color of the button only using the background layer!

Sincere thanks,

Rock

Hi:

I got to step 28 and realised I cannot see the gradient tool underneath the eyedropper panel.

I have Exp design 2

Cheers,

Great Tutorial thanks,

But the images are now not showing up so got lost with converting the anchor points!
