Buttons are an essential element of any web design, and can be used to great effect to add interactivity and style to your site. Buttons can be created in Photoshop using a variety of techniques, and in this article we’ll show you how to create a button in Photoshop that can be used on your website.
First, open up Photoshop and create a new document. You can do this by going to File > New, or by pressing Ctrl+N on your keyboard.
Give your document a name and set the width and height to whatever size you need your button to be. Then, click OK.
Next, you’ll need to create a shape for your button. You can do this by using the Rectangle Tool (U) from the Tools palette. Click and drag out a rectangle on your canvas, then release the mouse button when you’re happy with the size and position of your rectangle.
With your rectangle still selected, go to the Properties panel (Window > Properties) and click on the word “Stroke” in the top left corner. This will open up the Stroke Options dialog box. In this dialog box, select “None” from the drop-down menu next to “Style”, then click OK.
Now we need to add some color to our button. Go to the Layers panel (Window > Layers) and double-click on the layer that contains your rectangle shape.
This will open up the Layer Style dialog box. In this dialog box, click on the word “Color” next to “Overlay” in the left hand column.
This will open up the Color Overlay options dialog box. In this dialog box, select a color for your button from the color picker, then click OK. Now click OK again in the Layer Style dialog box to close it.
Your button should now have a color overlay applied to it. If you want to add any other effects or styles to your button, such as a border or text, you can do so now using the tools and options in Photoshop.
When you’re happy with how your button looks, save it as a PNG file by going to File > Save As, or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+S on your keyboard. Choose PNG from the drop-down menu next answer “Yes” when prompted about saving transparency information. Now you have a button that’s ready to use on your website!
In conclusion, creating a button in Photoshop is a fairly simple process that only requires a few steps. First, create a new document in Photoshop and add a rectangle shape using the Rectangle Tool.
Next, apply a color overlay to the rectangle using the Layer Style dialog box. Finally, save the button as a PNG file so that it can be used on your website.
