Step 1 Make a new document of 500x300 pixels. Make a new layer. Select
the Eliptical Marquee Tool and make a fixed size of 150x150 and centre it.
Make the background colour #696969 and fill the smooth metal layer in #D5D5D5,
as shown below.
Step 2 Now start by right mouse clicking on the orb layer, in your layers
palette and click Blending options. Go to Stroke and enter in the settings
as shown below:
Step 3 Now select the Bevel and Emboss Properties and enter in the settings
as shown below:
Step 4 Now select the Inner Shadow Properties and enter in the settings
as shown below:
As you have made all the settings, why not save it, so you
don't have to do it again? Go to Blending Options section and click on New
Style.. and make a name for the style effect. I'd call it smooth metal.
Final Result Well, that was it, I added text to show you how it looks with text.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial.
