Step 1
Make a new document 500x500 pixels. Make the background layer a dark grey so we can see what we are doing. Once you've done that make a new layer and call it button. Select your rectangle marquee tool and make a selection roughly the same as mine and make the background color white.

Step 2
While still selected with the layer button, go to Layer > Layer Style and then Blending options. Once you've done, select Inner Shadow and enter in the setting as shown below:

Now select the Bevel and Emboss and enter in the setting as shown below:

Now select the Gradient Overlay and enter in the setting below. Double click the gradient bar and it should open up a new window. You should then enter the setting shown on the second image below:

Select Gradient option and do as followed.

Once you've done that you then go to Stroke and enter in the setting as shown below:

Step 3
You should now have something that looks very similar to the image shown below. Now you can see it looks more of a nice smooth bright button.
