Man its chillin!!!!

Huuuuhh At last I do it

My result:

Good job. You're the thousand person with cut shadows, but the rest of the work looks pretty good.

There is a small trick on getting better shadows (not being cut off)

The shadows are hard to see when you have got no background layer.  Try adding a background layer in white or other lighter color and then when you are ready to save it, simply hide that layer.

If you cannot tell the shadow is cut, chances are, you should scale it down a little bit.

Why don't you can't change canvas size? Just go to Image -> Canvas Size or press ALT+I+S

Thank you great Tutorial

here's my result:

and this one has no bachground:

Here's my result:

Also, I found a way to make a EXISTING Background transparent :

In the Layers palette, double click the background layer

Your Background is now transparent

Your outcome is quite impressive keep it up

Thank you very much. ^^

Welcome here jceggbert5. Your result looks pretty good. The outer glow appears a bit strong to me, but good result anyway.

will you emalil me a psd of cs4 because you cant do this with cs4

You can do this with Adobe Photoshop CS4 just as easy as with CS3. Can you specify your problem?

here is my result

Very cool, but I see a lot of aliasing on the lightning bolt. Try to make one yourself instead of pasting it ... should get better results.  
 
Oh, and the shadow's cut off at the right and bottom.

Thanks, too bad i noticed your message a little late--> i have already done 6 different ones. by the way will gaussian blur help?

---------------

I think so, a slight Gaussian Blur of about 0.3 to 1 pixel should help.

thanks, can you please check the images and tell me if anything is wrong?

They look fine, though I think you should apply a transparent to white gradient for the shine; that is to say, transparent near the centre and whiter at the edges. Makes it look more "spherical" -- especially since you're using such a plain background.

well...I am just wondering how you do it and I followed the instruction precisely step by step. However, when I was working on the gredient overlay apply the effects to it my oval circle just changed to the square block. No matter how hard or with whatever methods I have tried and used, it just kept getting the damn square block.
 
This is how I did this: I first created a new document and set the size as told and then I set the background with white color as a background for the image and then I used vectorial elliptical tool to draw a circle on it and apply black color from the foreground before I started working on the gredient and effect.

Well I gave it a shot, with a few changes =)
