Open a New Document at 600x600 ( File > New )

Create a new Layer.

Set the Foreground colour to #AAAAAA

Grab the Rounded Rectangle Tool. ( May be hidden under Rectangle Tool )

Set the radius ( At the top ) to 25 px.

Make something big but not too big. CTRL+Click on this shape's layer and go to Select > Modify > Contract

Put in 20 px and click OK. Now, press CTRL+X to delete the selection.

This is what I have so far:


Click Here

Go to that layers Blending Options and copy these settings:



Drop Shadow

Outer Glow

Inner Glow

Bevel & Emboss

Contour

Satin

Colour Overlay

Stroke

ctrl+x is the same as edit > cut. perhaps thatll work?

That turns the whole frame gray instead of cutting what is selected inside the small rectangle.

I used 7.0, too. do:

CTRL+Click on the grey square thing's layer and press CTRL+I to inverse the selection. And then cut.
