transparency. This effect does not increase the size of the object. When
you use the Inner Bevel effect, you can set the options yourself, use one
of the preset effects included with the program, or start with a preset
effect and then modify its settings.
The Inner Bevel command is available when an image has a transparent
background, has a colored background that contains a selection, or
has a colored background and a layer. If a layer does not contain a
selection or transparent area, the effect is applied to the edges of the
layer. You can promote a selection, paste a selection as a new layer, or
use the Eraser Tool to create a layer with transparency. You can access
the Inner Bevel dialog box by choosing Effects 3D Effects Inner
Bevel.
The Inner Bevel dialog box contains the following controls:
• Bevel — specifies the bevel shape
• Width — specifies the width in pixels
• Smoothness — controls the slope (sharpness) and thickness of the
edge. As this value increases, the edges become more rounded.
As it decreases, the edges appear thinner and steeper.
• Depth — controls the height of the edge. As this value increases,
the edge becomes more pronounced.
• Ambience — adjusts the overall brightness of the image
• Shininess — determines how reflective the surface appears. A
higher value produces a glossy image and makes the highlights
more evident. A lower value makes the highlights diminish.
• Color — determines the color of the light shining on the image. To
change the light color, you can click a color in the image, click the
color box to access the Color dialog box, or right-click the color
box to access the Recent Colors dialog box.
