adviner Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I'm trying to figure out how to make a rounded corner that will have the shade affect of the background gradient color. I know how to make a gradient background. And as far as the rounded corner, its just using the "Rounded Rectangle" button. My problems is how to add a shade that is also gradient like the background but a little darker. I've included a sample (just one side to show what i mean) Im only interested in the outer rounded corner with the bluish gradient. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 This is based on my belief that you are referring to the drop-shadow effect around the white rounded rectangle. Make the background gradient. On a new layer, make a white rounded rectangle in the size and shape that you want. Duplicate the layer. In the Layers window, click the lower white rounded rectangle layer, then: Adjustments > Invert Colors Next: Effects > Blurs > Gaussian Blur --- Radius: 2 to 4 Press F4, and move the Opacity slider to adjust the darkening effect.

Cookies Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Looks like a shadow so get Drop shadow from this plugin pack and then make a gradient background and create a new layer and draw a rounded rectangle and use the drop shadow effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
