It's pretty much simply a Bevel & Emboss layer style set to Emboss. An inner shadow helps a little bit. But depending upon your needs, the inner shadow may not be required.

Make a new layer on top of the background, then make a circular selection (hold down shift to make sure it is a perfect circle) and fill it with any color that you want.
Set the fill % in the layers palette to 0%.
Go into the layer FX and add a stroke (black) and inner glow (white).
Keeping the circle selected, move to the background layer and hit ctrl+c ...

I would most likely do it like this:
1. Making a square.
Take a Rectangle tool with Shape layers enabled.
Make a square while holding Shift button to make sure that its a perfect square.
( In this case size doesnt matter ( hah.. ). I'm gonna make a little bigger than the sawtooth size I want but, you could make exact size right away. Helps with the ...

Make sure your line is on it's own layer.
"Add Layer Mask" to the layer
Select the gradient tool, make sure it fades from black to white
Click and drag the gradient on the layer mask
This will fade the line to whatever is behind it, as it makes it transparent.

This background looks like it was created with the Lens Blur filter in Photoshop, with a high radius and with specular highlights set to 0. Shape Blur could also get this effect, using an elliptical solid shape. It doesn't look like in-camera blur, and it certainly isn't gaussian blur.

Easiest way to blur stuff in photoshop is Blur Tool (R)
Just take Blur Tool and select Soft Round Brush (The brush that is round and has 0 hardness) Then use various size(s), ones that are fitting to the area(s) that you want to blur of course.
Then blur away. (You might want to make a copy of the image layer (Ctrl+J) before blurring. )
Original image (I ...

Here are some results I got:
The steps for black ink are as follows:
In Photoshop, put the bottle image onto a layer, and duplicate this layer. To do this, you can select the layer in the Layers panel and press Ctrl+J on Windows or Cmd+J on Mac. We will work with this duplicate layer only, which must be above the original.
Use your favorite method to ...

Blend modes over transparency will not maintain appearance.
Basically the Multiply blend mode means nothing when you import it into Illustrator. Therefore you get a grey shadow which does not interact with anything behind it in Illustrator.
When you set a layer to a blend mode other than Normal in Photoshop, that layer calculates how the pixels should ...

Tracing software may help getting started, but then there's still a lot of illustrating craft there. Photoshop and Gimp does not sound like the right tools for the trade, Illustrator and Inkscape are more like it. IIRC both should have embedded tracers.

I created a similar effect with the Gaussian Blur tool in Photoshop set to a 60 px radius.
Of course, you can do this with any photo where you like the color shifts, your sample reminded me of a beach, so I found a beach photo on Wikimedia.
Another way you can do it is by creating the shapes you want and then applying a Gaussian blur to them:

The image you have attached was not created using an effect - this is actually a well-executed vector illustration. You may achieve similar look in Photoshop but the outcome will be nowhere near the provided illustration in terms of quality.
Create a new layer above your original photo, fill it with the color you wish (red in your case), and set the ...

add a type layer; layer effects: emboss with conservative "low value" settings and 'chisel hard'; gradient overlay effect using colors from the gold.
Mimic the foil overstamping by duplicating text layer; set layer fill to 0%; add a 1px outer stroke effect using color sampled from gold at a low opacity.

There's numerous ways you could go about doing it; the clone tool is certainly a valid method.
It also depends on what version of Photoshop you have as the later versions may be better at filling it than the earlier versions (such as having content-aware filling)
I user Photoshop CS5, and here's how I'd do it:
I just used the magic wand and a quick ...

Looks like a standard design created by layering elements and setting blending or transparency on the layers. There are hundreds if not thousands of tutorials on these sort of text effects and drop shadows. If you've done nothing alone these lines, start with something like the tutorial below and go from there.
You can learn some of the basics though a ...

Scott is right. To reproduce the effect I had to use 3 sets of drop shadows. One for the buttons, one for the text, and one that is slightly in-between the two. Here is the result:
(The right half of each icon is the original; the left half is the reproduction.)
There are some kerning differences, and I didn't bother to reproduce the background noise, ...

Here's how I'd do that. This assumes the shadow colour is black. If you want the transparency to match perfectly, you may need to make some adjustments near the end of this process (easy to do though).
Open the Channels panel.
Duplicate the green channel.
Apply Levels to it, so that the highlight point hits the right end of the graph data on the ...

To keep some level of editability, you could do one of the following.
First one requires black background and white text:
Use about 50% grey color as the outer glow for the text ( #7f7f7f ).
Make a new layer and use Soft round brush ( Round brush with 0 hardness ) to draw lines of different colors going across the text ( It doesn't really matter if ...

Use Free Transform (ctrl+t on pc). Set the transform centerpoint to the radial blur centerpoint, hold down shift to keep proportions and alt to resize all four sides at the same time, and drag the start of the blur to match the object.
If you're worried about lowering the render quality while scaling bigger you could do the radial blur with bigger ...

We actually use the same effect for the 404 and error page images on this very site.
I tried the Photoshop way first, but I was never satisfied with the results. The problem I faced was not the end results didn't look good(in that faux way), but because they just didn't look "real." So what I ended up doing was taking a photo of the actual paper torn ...

dear thaigo this answer is based on what I understood:
Normal and hover icon effects can be achieved with CSS.
Normal images have less fill in photoshop and hover images full fill
A 1 px stroke has been applied to the hover icons. You can reduce their opacity or fill to gain a clean stroke, take a look at this image, I tried to let you know whats ...

You can use them at the same time by using different Blend modes and opacity levels.
Good thing to remember is that they stack up in order kinda like if you had layers:
Color Overlay - ( Above Gradient Overlay. )
Gradient Overlay ( Above Pattern Overlay. )
Pattern Overlay ( Below both. )
..and no, you cant change the order. What you can do is use ...

Photoshop CAN do a blur with a variable radius. This feature is available in the Lens Blur filter.
You first create an alpha channel with a gradient, describing across your image how unsharp you want it to be. (This is referred to as the depth map).
Then you blur the RGB layer, using the lens blur filter, selecting the alpha channel as depth map.
For the ...

You could use for example Inner shadow to do that.
Other potential Layer style ways of doing that would be: Drop Shadow and Bevel and emboss
Here's a bottom right border made with Inner shadow:
And Those other mentioned Layer styles would also go by same basic idea. ( With drop shadow you could make a border that is set outside. )

Would this be better?
What I did, was actually adding a Curves adjustment layer and then edited curve for each individual colour channel.
This could also be a starting point to add other obivous elements to the image itself, to correct it as much as possible (like those different tint bars at top)...

So if you're after one step process, then ...

In the past when doing things like this I've kept everything within one uber-PSD file using layer groups for each 'file', plus a few layer groups for shared elements like headers and background. To switch from 'file' to 'file', I toggle the visibility of the appropriate groups. This avoids your issue being a problem, but it's a bit clunky. You'll want to ...

No, they are not vector. They are raster and remain raster.
However, upon output, the raster effects are generated to match the resolution of the output device in conjunction with the Document Raster Effects Settings as well as any scaling which may take place upon output.
Make certain the Document Raster Effects Setting (in the Effects menu) is set ...

The simplest way to get the look you're going for is to duplicate the layer, apply a Gaussian Blur (you'll have to experiment to find the radius that works best) and change its blending mode to "Lighten". This is a common technique used in glamour portraiture, to give that hazy glow effect. (In the "old days" we used a softening filter on the lens. Now it's ...

This looks like a photo, so I'll treat is as one.
You are doing few things wrong here.
You should've used plain white paper instead of one that has
lines.
You should've used proper/better lighting, perhaps a light directed right into the paper, but the more sunlight, the better it is.
It doesn't take more than common sense to know that less lines ...

If you have Adobe Flash it has Trace tool in it's Menus (Modify -> Bitmap -> Trace Bitmap). Change it's parameters to get the best result. The good thing is despite Adobe Photoshop it will return a vector image. if you need a vector image I think it is the best way.
