Step 11: Exporting The Buttons

The last thing you need to do is export your artwork, and this is an art in and of itself. I use ImageReady to slice up and name all of my buttons, but that's not the only way how do do it, by a long shot. This tutorial isn't going to cover the specifics of exporting your final buttons, though I may add it later.

That said, always remember to turn off the background layers before you save your final results, and save the file in a format that supports transparency, like png24. This way you'll be able to place the button over any background you like, and it will still blend in perfectly. Remember, if layers have overlapping transparent areas, only show one at a time, and hide the rest.

Now you have some buttons!
