Photography portfolio
January 21st, 2008 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Web Layout
Awesome photography portfolio design with a lot of content boxes and an attractive look. 
Create a new file (File>New) that would have 800×800 px and 72 dpi. Selecting the Paint Bucket Tool (G) may help us to paint the new file with the next color #111111 
Next we have to use the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) (radius 7 px) to represent the primary layer reserved for the menu’s button, situated on the site’s header. 
The layer’s parameters are selected by making a mouse click on the necessary layer on the layers’ panel.
Blending Options>Gradient Overlay 
Gradient’s parameters: 
Blending Options>Stroke 
Using the same instrument, it’s possible to represent a highlight on the menu’s button. Firstly we need to represent the zone of the highlight to be and then, holding on Alt button, erase the unnecessary elements. 
The layer’s parameters: Fill 0%
Blending Options>Gradient Overlay 
Gradient’s parameters: 
Using the same instrument and the same radius, try to represent next the zone reserved for the buttons’ indicator of white color. Press Alt button and select the Rectangle Tool (U) to erase the unnecessary elements.

Hi!
I’m very new to photoshop. I was wondering if someone could explain these words:
“Using the same instrument, it’s possible to represent a highlight on the menu’s button. Firstly we need to represent the zone of the highlight to be and then, holding on Alt button, erase the unnecessary elements. ”
I’m stuck on this part! What is it that I need to do?

@ Joncode:
using the same instrument means using the same “tool”… which is that rectangle shape tool..
when u create a rectangle with rounded corners and want to subtract another rectangular shape from it, you just hold alt key..
so basically… see it for urself: make a rectangle with the shape tool.. then with the same tool, hold down alt key and make another shape over it… you will see the new shape will be subtracted out..
similarly, holding shift key will add to the shape..
hope this helps…

It seems a great tutorial however I have spent so much time trying to work out exactly what I’m supposed to do… it’s really putting me off.
It would be nice if the steps taken were explained in full detail and in fluent English.

Poorly explained:
Using the same instrument, it’s possible to represent a highlight on the menu’s button. Firstly we need to represent the zone of the highlight to be and then, holding on Alt button, erase the unnecessary elements.
It would be much more helpful if you actually said what tools you meant and layers you were talking about. you diagram doesn’t follow with what you are saying.

I am stuck on the same spot where Jonocode is at…
Quote: “Using the same instrument, it’s possible to represent a highlight on the menu’s button. Firstly we need to represent the zone of the highlight to be and then, holding on Alt button, erase the unnecessary elements.”
and yes it is poorly outlined … no layers explained.
someone tell me how can i do this part?

All very nice but this is not really a tutorial. it lacks details and descriptions. for a begginer it is impossible to follow…
