Recommendation BUTTONS in Photoshop

[wildmind]

Yes! Yes!, Please, Please. It would be glorious if you'd make buttons for us.

I use Photoshop Elements for my graphics work and don't own full photoshop. I don't believe Photoshop elements has the button making script.

I love the look and feel of your buttons.

Thanks for thinking of us.

Meanwhile, one quick question ... I can't make a cool button like yours, but I can do a mini-screen shot of some kind. What size does it need to be to fit in the layout? Is it 100 x 100?

I posted this on the main PLRPor forum,

You might like to try this

This is a handy tool will make buttons for you.
I thought some of you might like to try this, it's an onscreen camera

It is a very handy tool, free to download and will make buttons too, not exactly the same as Marc's but will give you the same result, is quick to make too.

You can download it here
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/mwsnap.html


It will snap anything on your screen, fixed size or free rectangle

click on Edit and then Add Frame, you will see "simple, shaded or buttonize".
If you select buttonize, you can then frame your 'button'.

It's very quick and if you need to resize, just change the image height and width in your link to fit where you want to put it.

It is a really good little tool and at the right price too. I use it a lot and still haven't found all it's features.

You don't need Photoshop, Gimp or anything, it does the lot.

The boys seem to have their hands full right now so I hope this will help you out.

Thanks Carmel. I downloaded and tried it. Nifty.

It turns out that my own screen capture program has a similar feature, they just call it "bevel edge" rather than buttonize, so I'm set two different ways now!

Is that a script or a plug-in for Photoshop?

That was one of the coolest feature I have ever seen!

Thanks for showing us that.

I am having some issues with my button script and being compatible on all versions of photoshop.

So my suggestions for now would be to go with Carm's suggestion. I will change it later

Thanks
Marc

Hello,

I downloaded the program, but I have a question.

I want to grab a screen using the varible rectangle.

But then once I grab the screen that I want, how do I make it the size of a button?? If I grab a large area, how do I reduce that area down to the size of a button.

I have looked everywhere for this info and can't find.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
