hi,

i try to make a similar button, tell me if that's you want

[cisco007]

yeah, that looks like the one attached to the file i posted, i just want the buttons that are in the attached file turned into PSD buttons for photoshop with layer and all that!

psd with font

Edit: button with arrow

[cisco007]

looks pretty good, what about one for the button_topic_reply.gif? if it isn't too much trouble! or if you could do as many different one that you can and post them all when done!

How about a tutorial on how to create buttons in PhotoShop?
Highway of Life had a [How To] post on that somewhere.
I couldn't find it just now so I can make one for you if it's lost.
I'll look again when I get to my computer.

that would work!

I just downloaded those images you posted and also Franck's .psd image.
They are not an exact match but Frank got pretty darn close to what was there. I'm impressed Franck!
I probably can't get any closer to the look of that button than Franck did, but I'll give it a stab and document.

It looks like the original author had a black border around his outside section but cut it off.
And there needs to be a smaller inside section with it's black border laid on top of that outside section.
The text on the bottom seems to have a black border around the text.
And some buttons have longer words than others, so you only need the different length buttons for a .psd image.
You would then just choose the width button needed to fit your text and change the words.

I'll play around with duplicating these images and document a [How To] on how I went about making them.
Your smallest image/button shown on the larger buttons are 84px X 25px so I'll make that size.
Your smallest image/button shown on the smaller buttons are 38px X 15px so I'll make that size.
Then I'll show you how you can use those to expand wider for the longer text needed in some of them.

[think]I sure don't want to take anything away from Franck because he did a really good job on duplicating that image.
You can use his .psd image right now and change the text to what you need for your other buttons... and save as.[/think]

i can but one button would still be missing and that would be the one I mentioned above, because that one i could change the text for one of the ones i need which is for the quick reply button amongst others!

[Sniper_E]

Oh, you just need the Arrow instead of the Astrix.... I haven't worked on these images yet.

This is quick, Franck could definitely give you a better image than this one.

[cisco007]

that one would work, that button is one that is used similarly alot for other buttons also!
