Thanks to you guys who helped me on this – I have created, as you say, some very cool buttons.
However, I didn’t explain properly I want an elliptical LINE, not a filled area. Ultimately I want this line embossed into my metalic background. The "pillow emboss" works great, but I still need to get a smooth elliptical line. I have tried doing "stroke path", but the results are worse than pasting in from Powerpoint. I have tried duplicating the solid shape, reducing its size a bit using "transform", colouring it differently and superimposing. However, again the results are awful. I believe anti-aliasing only works on creating the object. Try creating a red circle anti-aliased, for example. If you duplicate the layer, the edges lose their smoothness.
Any ideas would be very appreciated.
