First successful pic on CS2

Installed CS2 yesterday, and today, I managed to whip up something...:



I just don't know how to do this part in the tut:

15. And here’s the final result after I’ve added some shadow to the Rounded Black Shape (Specs: Distance=0, Size=5):

Inner shadow maybe? Although from working with gloss effects like that inner shadow, bevel, outer glow, inner glow, drop shadow and the likes never turn out too well. I don't know why he/she would have you add that.

Might I suggest you switch the colors on your palette then redoing the layer mask gradient? That way you get something that looks like this

Inner shadow on a black shape? i don't think so
it's to blend the black shape so it doesn't have the hard edge. if the gradient is the right way round like you said and there was a shadow it would look much better
