This page demonstrates the creation of a button. The defining feature of a button is the three-dimensional appearence created by highlights and shadows. Emboss is very useful for this effect. The most useful options for making a button are the Advanced Algorithms Emboss, Raise 2 and Frame 5x5.

I created the title above by choosing Font Utopia Bold with Foreground Color set to White and Background Color set to Black. I used Border set to 20x10 I used Advanced Algorithm 1 set to Blur 5%, Advanced Algorithm 2 set to Emboss and Advanced Algorithm 3 set to Raise 2.

In the next example, I used the Advanced Algorithm 1 set to Emboss and Advanced Algorithm 2 set to Raise 2. I set Foreground Color to White and Background Color of #00FFFF. I used Font Bookman-Demi.

In this button, I use Advanced Algorithm 1 set to Frame 5x5 and Advanced Algorithm 2 set to Emboss. I set the Font Hotshot.
