Go to Layer > New > Layer via Cut. This will move  the selection to a new layer and now our dial and reflection are in  separate layers. Rename the new layer as "Dial Reflection." Set the  "Dial Reflection" Layer Opacity at 65%.Go back to "Compass Dial" layer in the Layers Palette and apply an  Inner Shadow Layer Style using these settings: Blend Mode of Multiply,  Color set to black, Opacity at 30%, Angle set to -125 degrees,  Distance  set to 100 pixels, and Size set to 5 pixels. Now apply a Gradient Overlay with these settings: Blend Mode set to  Normal, Opacity  at 20%, Gradient set at black to white, with a Style of  Linear, and Angle set to 55 degrees. Now as you can see in the  below  image, Alt-click between the "Dial" and "Compass Dial" layers, then do  the same thing for the "Compass Dial" and "Dial Reflection" layers. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 15 Create a new layer at the top and name it "Needle." Get the  rectangular Marquee Tool and make a selection as shown in the image  below. Drag three guides from the upper ruler and snap them to the top,  center, and the bottom of the selection. Hit Command + D to deselect. Grab the Polygonal Lasso Tool and make a selection as shown below,  fill the selection with the color #dd0000. Get the Rectangular Marque  Tool and select the left half of the needle as shown. Go to Image >  Adjust > Hue/Saturation (Command + U) and set Saturation to -100 and  Lightness to +80. Deselect by hitting Command + D. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 16 Move the needle down as in the below image and hit Command + T. Set  the Vertical and Horizontal Scales both to 70%, Rotation to -30 degrees,  then apply. Hit Command + T again and this time set Vertical Scale to  75%. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 17 Apply a Gradient Overlay  to the "Needle" layer using these settings:  Blend Mode set to Overlay, Opacity at 100%, Gradient set at Silver  (which is in the Metals set), with a Style of Linear, Angle set to 0  degrees, and Scale set at 90%.  Create a new layer below the "Needle" and name it "Needle Shadow."  Command-click the "Needle" layer and fill the selection with black. Hit  Command + D to deselect. Move the layer 20 pixels down. Go to Filter  > Blur > Gaussian Blur and apply with a Radius of 7 pixels. Set  the Layer Opacity at 70%.  <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 18 Get the Elliptical Marquee Tool. Set the Style to Normal and make a  circular selection, as in the below image. Create a new layer at the top  of the layer stack and name it "Pin."  Fill the selection with 40%  gray. Hit Command + T and set the Vertical Scale to 75%. Deselect by  hitting Command + D. Duplicate the "Pin" layer and move it up 1 pixel. Duplicate the "Pin copy" layer and move it 1 pixel up and repeat  duplicating and moving up until you reach "Pin copy 4" and move it up  one  1 pixel. Rename the "Pin copy 4" layer as "Pin Top." Select all the  pin layers except the "Pin Top" layer, as shown in the below image,  then merge them. Name the merged layer "Pin Side." <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 19 Apply a Gradient Overlay to the "Pin Side" layer using these  settings: Blend Mode set to Overlay, Opacity at 90%, Gradient set at  Silver, with a Style of Linear, and Angle set to 0 degrees. Apply a  Gradient Overlay to the "PinTop" layer as well and use these settings:  Blend Mode set to Normal, Opacity at 30%, Gradient set at Silver, with a  Style of Linear, and Angle set to -10 degrees. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/19.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 20 Create a new layer above the "Needle" layer and name it "Pin Shadow."  Command-click the "Pint Top"  layer and fill the selection with black.  Hit Command + D to deselect. Move the layer 4 pixels down and go to  Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, then apply with a Radius of 2  pixels. Set the Layer Opacity to 70%. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 21 Now we’ll make the glass. Create a new layer on top and name it  "Glass." Command-click the "Inside" layer thumbnail. Fill the selection  with white. Deselect by hitting Command + D. Move the layer 15 pixels  down and apply an Inner Glow layer Style using these settings: Blend  Mode of Multiply, Opacity set at 60%, and Color set to black. Set  "Glass" layer Blending Mode to Multiply and Opacity at 30%.  Command-click the "Inside" layer thumbnail to load the selection. Go to  Select > Inverse and hit Delete to clear, then go ahead and Deselect. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 22 Create a new layer above the "Glass" layer and name it "Glass Ref 1."  Command-click the "Inside"  layer to load the selection. Grab the  Gradient Tool. Pick the Foreground to Transparent preset, set it to  Radial Gradient and pick white as your Foreground Color. Fill the  selection with a gradient, as shown below. Hit Command + D to deselect,  then move the layer 30 pixels down. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/22.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 23 Command-click the "Glass" layer to load the selection. Create a new  layer and name it "Glass Ref 2." Fill the selection with the gradient,  as shown below, and use the previous step’s settings. Then hit Command +  D to deselect. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/23.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 24 Go to the "Compass Dial" layer in the Layers Palette and hit Command +  U to bring up the Hue/Saturation dialog. Check Colorize, set the Hue to  200, Saturation to 50, Lightness to -8, and hit OK. Now go to the "Dial  Reflection" layer and hit Command + U once again. Set Hue to 200,  Saturation to 50, Lightness to -3, and check Colorize. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/24.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 25 Create a new layer on top and name it "Bottom." Command-click the  "Top" layer to load the selection. Grab the Gradient Tool, pick the  Silver preset, set it to Linear, and fill the layer with the gradient,  as shown below. Hit Command + D to deselect. Now select all layers except the "Background" and the"Bottom" layers  and go to Layer > Merge Layers (Command + E). Rename the merged layer  as "Compass." Duplicate the "Compass" layer, then duplicate the  "Bottom" layer. Select the "Compass copy" and "Bottom" layers in the  Layers Palette and merge them. Name the merged layer as "Reflection."  Rename the "Bottom copy" layer as "Shadow." Arrange the layer order as  shown in the below image. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/25.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 26 Move the "Shadow" and "Reflection" layers down and place as shown.  Select the "Shadow" layer in the Layers Palette and go to Image >  Adjustments > Hue/Saturation (Command + U). Set the Lightness to  -100. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and apply with a Radius  of 45 pixels. Set the layer Opacity at 70%. Go to the "Reflection" layer  and apply a Gaussian Blur filter with a Radius of 4 pixels, then set  the layer Opacity at 30%. <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/26.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Conclusion Now our compass icon is ready! Again I applied that blueish gradient  background to my image. That’s the end of another icon tutorial. Hope  you liked it and had fun! <img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/198_Compass_Tutorial/final.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
