    Waterdrop

    in Tutorial Graveyard

    Posted

    Honestly (and I do see that I"m the only one saying this) I don't think this tutorial is that easily followed. It's not quite "dumbed" down enough for me. I do the basic stuff on PDN...but anything major, and I consider this to be major, I"m not that great at...there are things like

    "Set the blending mode of the waterdrop layer to "overlay" that aren't that easy to follow...I figured out thanks to a link someone posted, and "Select the drop shadow layer and fill your selection with black." kind of difficult b/c the only thing I know about filling with color is selecting the paintbucket tool, and that didn't work...and my list goes on...I'm not trying to be nasty, just honest, and I'm wondering if there is another tutorial on the subject.

    Thanks,

    Alisha

    I need a bit of help with the following.

    Ok, we'll start of with creating a new image (ctrl+n). I chose 200x50 px. Fill it in with a color of your choice. This color will be the main color of your button. Whichever color you choose, avoid having the "Value" of that color set to maximum (100) I don't know how to change the "value" of a color"as we will be using it in the next step for a gradient.

    Pick the Rectangle tool (o), make sure you have "Draw Filled Shape" selected (bottom toolbar, next to "Fill style"), and set the value of your color to maximum (100). Go about three quaters down the image and draw a rectangle from that point down, all the way across. Do a Gaussian Blur at a 10px radius.
