Bevel/Emboss

Depending on the type of bevel or emboss set, the rounded edge might be inside or outside objects, convex or concave, and may include a shadow.

For all bevel/emboss effects you can adopt a preset or custom profile that defines the bevel/emboss edge.

The following settings are shown when the effect is selected in the Layer FX Studio.

Type—sets a Pillow (emboss), Inner (bevel), Outer (bevel), or Emboss effect.
Radius—controls the extent of the effect.
Depth—sets the depth of the effect. This can be linked to Radius or set independently (by tapping the lock symbol).
Soften—blurs the shadows and highlights.
Azimuth—defines the direction of the light source, shadow or gradient.
Elevation—defines the 'height' of the light source, shadow or gradient.
Profile—defines how the light is applied and sculpts the ridges, valleys, and bumps that are shaded in the process. Tap on the curve to add a node, drag a node or portion of the curve to shape it.
Enable—switches the effect on or off for before-and-after comparison.
Invert—reverses the effect of the lighting profile.
Linear—when enabled, the graduation between two nodes in the profile is linear (i.e. uses straight lines). If this option is off, profile nodes are connected using smooth curves.
Highlight—sets the blend mode, colour and opacity for the highlight. Blend mode defaults to screen.
Shadow—sets the blend mode, colour and opacity for the shadow. Blend mode defaults to multiply.

To apply a preset or custom profile:

Tap the Profile option.
On the pop-up panel, tap on the curve to add a node, drag a node or portion of the curve to shape it.
(Optional) Select the Linear option to create a sharp curve or deselect to create a smooth curve.
Tap away from the pop-up panel to apply the profile.
