Emboss

The Emboss filter uses the contrast of an image to remap contours to create a 3D effect, similar to bas-relief. Like many of the other filters, it's very versatile and most useful when combined with other techniques.

Using Emboss on a duplicate layer with its blend mode set to "Linear Light".
