Useless, why miss out important bits that beginners dont know how to do such as in step 5 where you say that the rectangles ‘may need adjusting’ because of the curving edges. Surely its only beginners who read these tutorials anyway. Please try to add a bit more detail to certain steps for those of us who are not quite so familiar with photoshop.

I could create a coding tutorial on how you make it into a navigation if you wish.

Hi everyone, I’m new to this web site I wanted to learn about web site layouts and tabs stuff, in these tutorials it’s just teaching us how to create navigation bar as a photo, not as a functional bar. I mean how can we make the buttons let’s say to actually function, is there a way to do that or is it the next step, what? I just wanted to know, please reply me if you know the answer. e-mail: “jahidturkmen@gmail.com”… Thank you

Well, idealy you want to learn HTML and use tables for this(although learn css after). Although photoshop can code web layouts for you but is bad for it.

To do this use the slice tool and go over the areas you want to use for the links and then clikc ‘Save for the web’, although I’d reccomend you to learn HTML + CSS.

You can find some tutorials here for that and we will add more soon!

Hope that helps.

Hey seth, glad you liked the tutorial;

I think this is your problem. Select the lasso tool and click the rectangle with circle edges. Now go to Select > Modify > Contract and do it by 3 pixels.

Now go and create a new layer and fill it with a color, make sure it’s above the previous layer as well.

Let me know if that helps.

Fantastic tutorial ver useful but! I ahve a problem when you say to draw a rectangle it covers the rounded edge so that it becomes squarish? Any help?

I’ve tried modify>smooth doesn’t work and I’ve even tried with the pologon laso tool.

Thanks
