A vector mask creates a sharp-edged shape on a layer and is useful any time you want to add a design element with clean, defined edges. Once you create a layer with a vector mask, you can apply one or more layer styles to it, edit them if needed, and instantly have a usable button, panel, or other Web design element.

1. In the Layers palette, select the layer to which you want to add a vector mask.

2. Use one of the shape (U) or pen tools (P) to draw your vector mask.

3. In the layer palette, click on the layer style icon or double-click on the layer where you have your vector mask. You can also go to the layer menu in the menu bar and select the layer style options form there.

4. Click on bevel and emboss to make the setting visible so you can make your own adjustments.

5. Finally select the type tool (T) and write down the name of your bottom.
