In this Tutorial we are going to learn how to make buttons for the web site layout. Follow the steps as shown below:

1) Start with creating a new document. I have created a 400 x 400 pixel document. Now you choose what sort of a button do you want to make a round, square, a rectangle shape or you can create your own new shape. Explore your imagination there is no hard and fast rule for creating a button. I have decided to create a rounded rectangle shape button for this tutorial. Select Rounded Rectangle Tool from tool palette as shown in figure 1 or just click CTRL + N to open a new document.

2) Now draw the image on the blank document as shown in figure 2. Once you have drawn your image don't forget to Rasterize the layer. Just right click on the layer and select "Rasterize Layer" from the drop down menu as shown in figure 2.

3) Right click on the layer and click on Blending Options. When the "Layer Style" dialog box appears select "Drop Shadow" {Specifies the blending mode of a bevel or emboss highlight or shadow} from the list and make the necessary editing in the settings as shown in figure 3.
