Title: Photoshop Buttons and Button Layout Templates
Post by: DrewKaree on February 25, 2004, 01:27:19 pm
If you've got Photoshop, here's some button images I made for you to use.  They are all designed with an outer ring to designate the trim ring, and the inner ring designated the actual button itself.  The crosshairs are for you to know the center of where to drill.  

A word of advice....I don't know your printer settings, and your printer may skew the final image.  On MY PERSONAL PRINTER these images are for a 1 1/8" Button, and the trim ring measures 1 1/2" (from Happs' exploded button schematics).  What does this mean to you?  Practice the old woodworkers saying - MEASURE TWICE, cut once.  Print these out, measure them after printing, and then, measure them one more time.  

The merged versions are to be used just as they are.  If you want to change the colors or something else on them, use the layered version.  Then again, if you have Photoshop, you probably already knew this.  

MAKE SURE YOU RENAME THE .MPG FILE TO .ZIP.

4 of 4 - This template can be used for all white buttons.

Lastly, if you don't like my button layout templates, use the layered version to move them around to your liking.  

You may not like this layout or think they should be laid out in such-and-such a way.  

I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THAT YOU THINK THEY SHOULD BE LAID OUT IN ANY OTHER FASHION!!!

I have them that way because that's MY preference.  I included the layered file for YOUR preference.  I would certainly like to SEE your setup if you use these files, as I may want to use YOUR setup for another project!  I've given you my step 1.  

I hope you enjoy these files.

Thanks! I just got all my hardware together and need to start narrowing down my cp layout designs. This will come in handy.  :)
