    What you want to know, the emboss, or the rounded edges.

    It depends what program you use, I would use xara x for this and you would just use the bevel tool. Most graphics apps have a bevel tool that would produce this effect.

    1. create a new ps document
    2. use the paint bucket and make the background dark red.
    3.insert a new layer
    4.hold down on the rectangle tool, on the submenu click the rounded rectangle
    5. choose a darker color red.
    6. right click layer 2, goto blending options
    7. click innershadow
    8. adjust the opacity until it looks right.

    in PS, need 3 layers, in this order.


    #3 same shape but in white, softlight / opacity betweem 80% & 100%
    #2 your shape, in black, opacity 100% / softlight
    #1 would be your background


    move layer #2 (or 3) 1px up and 1px left. Voila!

    This literally took 10 seconds in xara just using the bevel tool on a rectangle with curved edges, and, as I said above, shouldn't take much longer in any other professional image editing program.

    well, i try all the options you gave (except of Xara, can't afford 195$ right now ), and the this option (quata) was the greatest

    thanks you all for your time and patiance,

    be sure to save your effects as "styles" incase you need to use them again on the same project to ensure consistency.
