great!, but how do you get the light effects just so. i can see that there is a shadow, thats easy, but for the light on top and the dark on the inside edge. i was thinking, bevel effect? but its flat,

thanks for the reply,

On the 3rd layer i did 2 layer effects:

1. Bevel and Emboss:

2. Outer glow:

The color i used for the glow is a darker tint of the background color.
(watch the settings: set on normal and lower opacity!)
