I agree with lundmikkel, you could just use the bevel and emboss layer style to achieve this..Other than that, nicely written tutorial :p

Yes you could but i am showing, it is also possible doing this an other way.You might say this is harder to do, but at some point you don't want to use bevel and emboss and you might want to use this.
I still hope this will help someone.
