Anyone know what I mean by XP look-a-like images?
You know the sytle of images used in XP mainly, it's like a 3D style, a lot of icons have the style/look.

I am interesting in knowing how it is done, I have photoshop.

If you don't know what I mean I'm sure I can find something and post it here to show an example

Pop over to our forums and post in the Photoshop section Kyle will help you out - I think you mean the sort of drop shadow/shading effect..

well you can bevel and emboss any layer and that will give it a 3d effect. all you need to do is goto the layer window and right click the layer you want and the click blending options then there will be a bevel and emboss tab.
