		<description>Yes, the drop shadows in Illustrator are made with bitmaps rather than vectors. To do a vector drop shadow I use the Blend tool in Illustrator. Thanks for the comment.</description>

		<description>Nice.

I already knew the opacity mask trick but the brushed steel with the motion blur was a good idea (have always done this with a rendered fibers layer composite in the past).

Just one thing though - if you&#039;re going to use drop shadow this is a pixel based effect (as far as I know). I would opt for using a mask with a gradient wipe instead so everything will scale nicely (that&#039;s if you&#039;re doing it in Illustrator rather than Photoshop).</description>

		<description>@Admitting it is the first step, Wordpress Hosting
@talyp, you&#039;re welcome, you&#039;re welcome
@outsource web design. This tutorial was done while I had CS2. I now have CS3 and it&#039;s no different. I can&#039;t remember which version of Illustrator the Make Transparency Mask option came in or the Transparency palette (I think about 7 or 8). That would be the only problem you&#039;d have with an old version. What version do you have?
@Rob van der Hoek from The Netherlands. Well done, I&#039;m glad you found it helpful.</description>

		<description>Hi Jon. That&#039;s great news. I love to hear how these techniques work in platforms other that CS3. I know a lot of people use Elements, Gimp and Xara, etc. and they work very well. I&#039;ve used the white to transparent gradient before in Photoshop to do the shiny bit many times! Thank you!

Thank you, Zoltan, you&#039;re very welcome! :)</description>

		<description>Awesome stuff.  And some more good news for cheapskates: I&#039;ve just managed to get it to work in Photoshop Elements 5, using a white-to-transparent gradient instead of the opacity mask.

Oddly, the trickiest part was creating the curve in step 3; the solution was to intersect an elliptical marquee with a circular one and then smooth out the corners.  

Cheers for the tip, Rob - nice one.</description>

		<description>Hi Bray, I&#039;m sorry I&#039;ve got limited experience with GIMP. I&#039;m sure you should be able to add the Noise and Motion Blur filters. GIMP maybe doesn&#039;t have layer styles like Photoshop, but are you able to somehow darken the outside and lighten the inside by modifying selections? Good luck, anyway! :)</description>
