I’m in the process of working on a website. I’ve found a tutorial (that was quite involved) in creating the Mac Aqua look. I was suvvessful in making the demonstrated Pill button, but when I attempted to do a similar effect on the frames of a website that I was working on, I had nothing but trouble. I was wondering if anyone knew a quick way to get this look, without going into the Alpha channel and making 12 steps to get the look. Thanks for any help…

Statistically speaking, My chances of being on your web sire are 1 in 458,225,568,001 Therefore I have the utmost confidence in saying "yeah, well if I were me, I wouldn’t worry about it". I won’t be on it! (©2003FM…)

thanks for your profound assistance… not that I’d be interested in knowing if you went to the website or not. Especially since it’s not for me. Just working on getting the look of the site. Anyone with helpful assistance?

Try Adobe exchange – there are thousands of actions – brushes – filters etc etc., I am sure there must be one suitable?

look at the styles
someone has already created all the Mac interface gels
and they have kindly shared it there for free.
make the shape you need, add layer style, it is quick and simple

Pay no attention to FP’s idiocy. What he knows about Photoshop would fit on the head of a pin.
