Preserved Topic: Re: Translucent buttons (Page 1 of 1)

Actually I found a step by step method of how to create a near-perfect imitation version of those buttons without any plug-ins! I'll probably post it up after I tinker with some of the values a bit more...anyone interested?<P>------------------

[Replies should be done with the "post reply" button on the page that you're replying to.]<P>Sure, go ahead - that may be interesting.

Yah sure, I'm interested! Post away, that's a tough effect to pull off properly, I'm anxious to see how you do.<P>-doc-

I asked about this very topic last week or the week before. Well, I played around in PhotoShop (only) and came up with the following (without 3rd party filters).<P><img src="http://www.groovyart.8m.com/IMAGES/gallerywindow/images/pieces/glowbutton.jpg"><P>------------------

Whew...just finished a barrage of midterms...and back playing around with PS as usual...here's what I came up with...do you guys think it's close to what Apple.com has on their site? Oh and Bruce I couldn't see your attempt...so parden me if you did a better job! ciao~<P> <IMG SRC="http://members.dencity.com/Jello3/jcube.gif"> <P>ps* i optimized the image to .gif 128 dithered...so it might look a little less sharp than what I have here...but nevertheless I thought it was alrite~

Hmmm... the "jello factory" one is pretty close. Can you try it with some other colors, like maybe blue, so we can see it better?

I like the jellofactory one too. I too would like to see some different colors and maybe a schpiel how you pulled it off.

looks good jcube. It would be cool to see other colors, but as it stands it's pretty much a perfect reproduction of Apple's nav bar. Good work!<P>------------------

Hiya DL-44....just wondering if you have an ETA on the gullwing text tute yet?<P>Thanks
