[Tutorial] Create a Floating Tab

[Jani]

Description:

In this tutorial we are going to make a "Floating Tab". It is basically a technique of using drop shadow on objects to give them a FLOATING look. Ok, so lets start now.

Step:1

Create a new document and draw a tab of 250 x 35 pixels. Dimensions may vary according to the requirements.
Now fill that rectangle with any color of your choice.



Step:2

Now create another layer, but make sure the new layer should be UNDER the tab's layer. Means the tab layer should be UP and the new layer at bottom.

Step:3

Now take the polygonal lasso tool and draw shape like this,



and then fill it with BLACK color #000000 with these settings







Step:4

Now change the opacity to 32%. This is the final result I came up with




I hope you too will come up with the result you expected
