Creating round rectangular buttons on Adobe Photoshop
Rounded rectangular buttons are
sleeker and look
stylish. This method is one of many to create this shape.
Creating these buttons is actually far more simple than you might expect.
First of all we still start by opening photoshop up and creating a canvas of about 100px wide and 50px high.
Next we will fill this is with any colour you want to be the background of the button. Lets use a bright red.
We can now select the rounded rectangle tool by right click on the square
Draw your shape as big as you want your button to be. Then simply double click to the right part of the shape layer on the layer tab to bring up layer style. Then drag the opacity bar to 0%.
From there we can click paths, which just next to channels and layers down the bottom right.
Right click shape 1 vector mask , make selection, feather radius is 0px and make sure the Anti-aliased box is checked and press OK.
This selects the background in the shape of the rounded rectangle. Now
go to edit , COPY MERGED (ctrl+shift+c), this will copy the merged product.
From there we create a new canvas. File, New, OK.
Just paste on the rounded button. Ctrl + V or Edit, Paste.
You should now have something that looks like this
Now simply add some text in the middle of this and save.
