I made this button over the weekend but i don't think I am going to be using it for long...

so if anyone likes it, just tell me what you want it to say and your preferred background colour and i'll make it as soon as i can.

Adobe PhotoShop and I have always loved those classy glassy buttons off the Apple/Mac site.

I've been meaning to learn a little more about photoshop. How hard is it to learn?

Seriously, learning how to use PS is NOT the problem; using it to create something totally unique and artistic is the really hard part. It depends how artistic one is I suppose.

As for me, I have 0 talent so I get away by looking at something someone else made and spend days trying to reproduce something similar (e.g. the button above is like my 100th attempt to get something like what Apple created for their site). Sometimes I get lucky... most other times the graphics end up in my recycle bin after days of trying!

It's good to hang around sites that have short tutorials on doing stuff like plastic buttons and shiny text etc... that's what I did and still do, occasionally.
