Basic Interface and TV Lines
The basis of this tutorial is not showing how to make the coolest interface, but to show
how to use the copy/duplicate commands you need to whip things out quick rather then
having 20 duplicate layers and always having your objects paste off alignment, I'll show
how to fix that. We will be using Gradients, as it enables us to do this a lot faster. You
can see, making a control pad does take a little time and there are a lot more steps to do,
I've tried to make it as short as possible.

Creating Wood Textures with Photoshop
This tutorial will show you how to create original wood textures. I used PhotoShop 7.0 for Windows. Some things may be done differently with other versions.

#7: Select the button with the marquee tool
like shown. Now hold down Alt-Ctrl-Shift
(Mac: Option-Command-Shift) and click on
your button and drag down a copy of it right
underneath and let go. Continue this until you
have multiple buttons or enough for your
needs. Try and make sure every copy you
make is evenly spaced underneath so it will all
match right, I just eye it really good. If you
mess up, then hold down Alt-Ctrl-Z (Mac: Option-Command-Z) to undo your last step.
Tip: This might sound funny but, get in a good
habit of knowing how to Undo. Undo history is
like a Tool in itself and a great addition in Photoshop 5, so take advantage of it, you can
really whip things out fast and correct
mistakes like nothing ever happened.
Remember:
PC: Alt-Ctrl-Z to Undo.
PC: Shift-Ctrl-Z to Redo.
Mac: Option-Command-Z to Undo
Mac: Shift-Command-Z to Redo |

#8: Make a New Layer and call it "Cut Edge".
Now with the Oval Marquee Tool make a tall
oval shape on the Right side of your interface
like shown. Select the Linear Gradient Tool.
Press "D" and "X".
