Adding Reflection to Photoshop Style Buttons

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Jimmy Hartman on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip we'll taking a look at how to take your first button and change a few of the things very easily to create a new button based on the same design. Let's do, last thing here, is change this button a little bit so we have a second button with a different function. So, let's go ahead and create a new group and we'll call this "button 1" and we'll add the other two groups to this button. Now we can go ahead and I'm just going to duplicate the button layer here because we're going to redo our reflection on the other button, so let's go ahead and duplicate this button. We'll go to layer, duplicate group, and we'll call this "button 2". I'm going to drag this out of this group for button 1. In button 2, let's go ahead and select our text tool and we will select the word search and we will write "Download". We're selecting them separately because we're going to maintain the color on them. Select the word site and we'll just write "now". Also, we're going to go ahead and change the color of the word "now" to a little bit of a light blue color. Click okay and hit return on the keyboard to get us out of text mode. We'll go back to our layers and select our graphic and we can get rid of the graphic. We want a new graphic for the download option here. Let's go ahead and select our custom shape tool and for the shapes, we'll select this disk with the down arrow. White is selected as our color. Cancel that. Select a new layer. I got that because I was trying to do that on a text layer. So, we'll make a new layer and we'll go ahead and make our graphic here. Control "t" and shrink this guy down just a little bit. That'll do it. Then, we're going to go ahead and colorize this graphic again, so let's go ahead and name that layer first, "graphic". Add a layer style. Move this down. Color overlay. Select the color and we're going to use and eye dropper tool to select the color that we did for that text and that works. I believe that was all the way up here at the top though. Now, click okay and okay out of that."
