Photoshop: Creating Website Buttons - Duplicate Layer and Use Move Tool to Align the Second Circle
Step 6 -
Duplicate Layer. Now that you have filled
your Left
Curve, the next step is to make
a copy of it so it can become the Right Curve
of your website button. The way you copy the
circle
is to choose "DUPLICATE LAYER" while
having the Left
Curve layer selected. The example
below illustrates this. Simply name the new layer
Right Curve.
Step
6 - Duplicate Layer - Name the New Layer "Right Curve"
Once you create the third layer
called Right
Curve go
ahead and select it. Note: You should see a total of
three layers at this stage (Background, Left Curve, Right
Curve)

Step 7 - Move Tool. Using the MOVE TOOL located in the Tools Palette move Right
Curve to the right but keeping it vertically
aligned to the original circle. You can move elements with
precision using the arrow keys on your keyboard. In the
example I used my right arrow on the keyboard to move
it to the right. If you manually move the circle you may
lose alignment.
Step
7 - Filling Your Circle with a Color Using
the Paint Bucket
Below you can see the
circles are perfectly aligned. This is because
I used the arrow keys instead of manually moving
the circle with my mouse.
