Photoshop CS Layer Effects: Soft Indents
Create indented horizontal lines or dots in your soft interface. Make a one pixel width linees or one pixel dots on a new layer to use. Color doesn't matter.

Photoshop 6 Layer Effects
Photoshop 6 Layer Effects: Glowing Button
This layer effect creates a glowing button set into a bevel. This effect works best with rounded shapes
but rectangular shapes also work. The color of the shape will be the color of the lighted button. The bevel
takes on the color of the underlying background layer. (White works too.)
Photoshop 6 Layer Effects: Glass
This layer effect creates the look of cut glass. Best used for interface or button shapes.
To use create your interface or button shape on a transparent layer. The color of your shape doesn't matter.
Photoshop 6 Layer Effects: Glass Text
This is a layer effect for creating glass text to go with buttons and backgrounds which use the above glass effect.
To use it simply type your text on a new layer. The color of the text doesn't matter.
Photoshop 6 Layer Effects: Pearl
An effect for creating a pearl-like object. Works best when used with a large circle shape. Experiment with different colored
shapes for slightly different colored pearls. The example uses a white circle shape with the pearl layer effect applied.
NOTE: You may use these effects for any graphics project, personal or commercial but please do not upload or distribute these effects anywhere else. If you use these effects for a project I would love to see it!
