Layer Effects / Shadows & Glows / Bevel & Emboss Bevel & Emboss Effects The last on the list are the Bevel and Emboss Effects. These are extremely cool if used properly and not over used. We have quite a few new options here. Lets go over them. l Highlight/Shadow: Full control of Mode, Color, and Opacity of these 2 areas.l lStyle: Under the style menu we have several different choices of effects:l l Outer Bevell lInner Bevell lEmbossl l Pillow Embossl lAngle: Determines the lighting angle at witch the effect is applied to the layer.l lDepth: A higher value results in a more accentuated bevel.l lBlur: A higher value increases the spread of the diffusel lUp/Down: This is where you choose if you want your bevel to look popped up or pushed down. l Bevel & Emboss Effect Samples Alright, now for the fun part. I'll make some examples of each Bevel Style. I will include my settings. By the way, the screen shot above is the default setting for the Bevel and Emboss Effects. If you need to reset to the default setting, press the ALT key (Mac: Option) and the Cancel button should change to a Reset button. Outer Bevel 1 Really basic. Blue text having the same blue on the background layer. Highlight Mode: Screen Highlight Opacity: 100 Shadow Mode: Multiply Shadow Opacity: 100 Style: Outer Bevel Angle: 120 Depth: 12 Blur: 4 Up/Down: Up Outer Bevel 2 Sort of a fruity one here. I used a dark purple background with light purple text. Highlight Mode: Color Dodge Highlight Opacity: 100 Shadow Mode: Darken Shadow Opacity: 100 Style: Outer Bevel Angle: 120 Depth: 20 Blur: 5 Up/Down: Up Last I added with one of the default brushes. Inner Bevel Highlight Mode: Screen Highlight Opacity: 75 Shadow Mode: Multiply Shadow Opacity: 100 Style: Inner Bevel Angle: 120 Depth: 20 Blur: 2 Up/Down: Up Emboss Start with color text on same color background Highlight Mode: Screen Highlight Opacity: 100 Shadow Mode: Multiply Shadow Opacity: 100 Style: Emboss Angle: 120 Depth: 1 Blur: 0 Up/Down: Down Pillow Emboss Sort of that trendy pushed in type look everyone's after. You can even Pillow some rectangles for some buttons. Highlight Mode: Screen Highlight Opacity: 77 Shadow Mode: Multiply Shadow Opacity: 100 Style: Pillow Emboss Angle: 120 Depth: 6 Blur: 6 Up/Down: Up Copy and Paste Effects We can even copy effects from one layer and paste it on to another. To do this it's very simple. Right Click on the little " ƒ " symbol on any layer with effects, then choose Copy Effects. Now make a new layer and Right Click on it and choose Paste Effects. Anything made on that new layer will result with effects that were pasted. Multiple Effects at once Photoshop allows us to do Multiple Effects at once. For example, when we apply a Bevel to a type layer, we can also give it a Drop Shadow. This is easy to do. Once you have applied an Effect, then select another effect ( like a glow ) from under the pop down menu, you might need to click on "Apply" to apply this 2nd effect. Now you have 2 effects going at once. You can apply all the Effects if you want to. Embed Effect for editing This is where Photoshop no longer has control of the effect you choose. Turning an Effect into a layer is very easy. Right Click on the Effects Icon ( like shown above ) and choose Create Layers. There you have it, Photoshop Automatically makes layers for the effect. This is great for wanting to erase parts of a Drop Shadow that could not be done while the effect is still being automated.
