Step Create a 400 x 400 document and with the circle tool, create a circle.

Picture 2

Step Change the fill to a radial gradient and make the gradient similar to mine.

Picture 3

Step Hit the “V” letter on your keyboard to select the pointer tool. (Or just click on the black arrow in the vertical toolbar.) Position the gradeint as I have done at the left.

Step Next, right click on the button you have made so far, and select Convert to Bitmap. (Or you can click Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Z.) Now, with the eliptical marquee tool, make a circle (by holding down the Shift key) that is smaller than the button itself. Then go to Modify – Transform – Rotate 180. (You can see how big my eliptical marquee circle was in the picture at the right.) Hint: You can move the marquee circle around by pressing the arrow buttons on your keyboard.
