I'm no Photoshop expert, and I have a really hard time with graphics (I really should take some time to learn I know...) If someone could just take the text off the bottom of that so I can just paste a label on it in Delphi, I'd really like it. Even if you just cropped the image and then applied the bevel to the bottom of, that would probably work.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: If the user named Zerk is still around, maybe he could do it, since he(?) created it originally.

Thanks, but would it be asking too much to have the bottom bevel somewhat transparent as it is in the original image? If you could do that, you'll be my friend.

i'd done one, too (incase xplosys had left his desktop) with slight contrast boost, smoother edges:



next time, ask to keep the original layered file(s)

Exactly perfect. Thanks xplosys & Virtual Nomad.

BTW, any good tutorials on Photoshop or Corel Photopaint? I have both, but have never bothered to do much of learning them except minor touch up of photos.

they make tutorials for photoshop?

but, seriously, i've only sat through a handful so i couldn't help you there. when i first bought cs2 i checked a couple and discovered layers and some uses, which opened up pandora's box, for me. the sad thing is i'd been using paint shop pro for ~10 years which has layers... i was afraid to use them (and vectors, too), for some reason. talk about doing things the hard way! anyway, i'm no artist but between layers and vectors, i can sometimes fake it

It's not a registered trademark, so anyone else can legally use it right now if they want. The TM there means it's an unregistered trademark, but that it identifies my product.
From Wikipedia:
