Hi.
I will show you how to do a little "enter" button for a Homepage or something else.

Make a new document.(I used 500x500)

Make a new layer.
Select your Elliptical Marquee Tool and hold SHIFT to make a perfect circle.

Fill the circle(on the new layer) with WHITE.

Add this layer styles.

It can look like this now.

Ok, select your Pen Tool and make points like me.
Look at the Picture to know what points are important.

Ok.Select your Convert Point Tool, hold SHIFT and click on the point in the middle and just move your mouse a bit to right(look image)

Now attention.
click on the layer with the Shape(so it will get blue)

Hold Ctrl and click on the layer with the circle to select it.
Now press SHIFT + CTRL + I.
Rasterize the shape layer.

Edit > Clear

Ctrl + D

Now you've got something like this here:

Set the Opacity to 44%
Add this layer styles to the white layer.

Now creat a new layer.
Press and hold Ctrl and click on the circle layer.
Take a soft brush(color white) and press a few times on the bottom of the "button".

Set the Opacity to 43%.Press Ctrl + D.

Ok now you have something like this.

Add a text.

And now select all of your layers(not the Background layer).
Right click duplicate all layers.

Now select all the DUPLICATED LAYERS and press Ctrl + E.
Make a layer mask.

Ctrl + T right click flip vertical.

Place it like me.

Now select your Gradient Tool(black > white)
Make it like me.

Set the Opacity to 50%

FINISH!!

I've worked on this tutorial about 1 hour, to write it so that everybody can do this.
So please feedback
