I am trying to learn how to create buttons in PS CS for use in Encore. I use the shape tool to draw out a rounded rectangle shape onto my background layer. The "shape layers" button on the tool bar is the highlight one. I then use the rectangular marquis tool to make a rectangle within my shape to fill with white (or whatever color I want) but it won’t fill. I tried to crop a section out and that doesn’t work either.

Any help on how I accomplish this.

Thanks

Shape layers can’t have more then one color applied to them. I woul make a new shape layer as you did with making the marquee and fill th new shape layer with the color of your choice

try right clicking the layer and rasterizing it
that will make it a normal layer and ya can do anything
that you like with it

hope this helps

But can I then convert it to a button in Encore and add a subpicture? I guess I will just have to try it and see what happens…
