How do you create that glassy/sunken look in Photoshop?

Tuesday, November 16, 2004 by tealfan | Discussion: Skinning

I've seen it in a few places, including Tiggz's new CPU Meter https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=34&SkinID=229 Can someone point me to a tutorial? I'd love to do that to my message board avatar.

Outer bevel, down 90 degrees, dark inner glow. Adjust the settings to your liking.

The highlight can be achieved by making a new layer, make a shape selection for the highlight and make a gradient fill that goes from 75% white to 0% white.
