Photoshop :: CS5 / Merging Layers Discards Bevel Effect?

Dec 9, 2012

Layers with a layer style applied, mostly of the bevel or emboss variety, lose the effect when the layers are merged or the image flattened. Doesn't seem to happen with any other styles, like drop shadows or glows: those will stay, but the bevel will not. These are all Normal layers, nothing tricky going on. It's a program fault and I need to know if there's a workaround. I'm having to resort to saving the whole unflattened image as a jpeg so the client can proof the work, but sooner or later I'm going to need to flatten the image.
 
Using Mac PS CS5 Extended, abundance of RAM & Disk space.

Photoshop :: Bevel/ Emboss Effect

May 22, 2006

I am trying to create a logo similar to the picture I have attached. It isn't exactly embossed, rather imprinted. I am trying to use the digit 6 in avant garde/ century gothic font 62pts, same colors. Somehow, I can't seem to get the desired effect using the embed/bevel layer setting.

Photoshop :: Outer Bevel Text Effect

Jun 13, 2006

I thought maybe just a bevel with lighting and a gradient but nothing I tried came close. The edges seem more precise than anything I did and the creases in the letters, like near the top-right of the 'a' or the middle of the 'h', seem to have depth that an ordinary bevel doesn't create.

Photoshop :: Quick Way To Reverse A Bevel And Emboss Effect?

Jun 2, 2013

It would be cool if Adobe would have provided a Reverse checkbox for Bevel & Emboss effects, like they did for the Gradients. Is there a quick way to reverse a bevel and emboss effect or do I have to adjust each setting manually?

Photoshop :: Bevel And Emboss Effect Not Visible In Flattened Image?

Jun 19, 2013

I created a file in .psd, with several text layers to which I applied effects (fx) such as stroke, bevel & emboss, outer glow. When I flatten the image, the outer glow and stroke remain, but the bevel & emboss effect is gone. Type is a single color without the 3 dimensional effect.
 
I am also not able to preserve the bevel & emboss look when saving as a jpeg or a flattened .tif or .pdf. A saved .tif or .pdf with layers shows the effect just fine, but if the pdf is opened with Acrobat instead of Photoshop, the effect is not visible.
 
This must be a new problem, because I found a file that I created several years ago that is a flattened .tif with the bevel & emboss effect preserved.
 
I tried rasterizing the layer, and the type. Tried converting to 16 bit changing mode to CMYK, and multi-channel. Everything that involved merging layers lost the bevel & emboss effect.

Illustrator :: Maintaining Extrude And Bevel Effect?

Mar 24, 2013

I am currently designing a logo with the extrude and bevel effect. It is fine at full size, but when I copy and paste it and scale it down for another file--a.e. a business card--the effect is lost.
 
Why is this happening? Do you have to apply the effect seperately when the object is rescaled?

Photoshop :: Merging Overlay Effect

Jan 12, 2013

I have 2 layers one with a gradient and another with some text and the gradient is set to overlay. I need these layers merged with the effects still in tact. Is it possible to do this?

edit: alternatively I could magic wand layer 2 and cut those pixels from layer 1 but, how i can get the magic wand to not ignore blending effects. Say i have a drop shadow on text the magic wand just circles to text and not the shadow.

Illustrator :: How To Resize Using A Logo Made With Extrude And Bevel Effect

Feb 4, 2014

I design flags for people and have worked with Illustrator for just over a year. Most logo's I've worked are 2D and I've never had any issues that I could overcome ( I learn as I go along) however  I have been given a logo which has the Extrude & Bevel effect on (which I haven't worked with before) (see first image). I have to make this logo much bigger but when i do it stretches and reshapes the logo. (see 2nd image).
 
The  scale stroke & effect box, is checked. I am working in CS6. So how do I resize this logo proportionately?

CorelDRAW Premium Suite X5 :: Bevel Effect - Text Face Color Changes

Dec 7, 2011

I have encountered a problem with the bevel effect of corel draw that I can't seem to resolve. I have a vector image and I convert to curves. Click on effects/bevel/soft edge bevel. I set my distance, I set my shadow colour & light colour and when I apply the bevel it changes the face colour to a murky combination of the original vector colour/shadow colour & light colour. I do not want to change the face colour of the text in any way.

Illustrator :: Adding Grain Pattern - Unwanted Bevel Effect Around The Object?

Jun 3, 2013

When adding a grain pattern effect to an object in Illustrator CS6 I get an odd bevel that surrounds the object. There is nothing in the Appearance window to suggest that there should be a bevel and I didn't add it myself.

Is there some setting I am missing or an easy way to remove the effect? For now I am masking the object with a slightly smaller object but it's starting to drastically increase the size of my file.

Photoshop :: Clipping Mask Multiple Text Layers Without Merging Text Layers

Dec 29, 2008

I am trying to get a white layer with see through writing which reveals the background image underneath. (Almost like I have put a stencil over a photograph). I have discovered this is called a clipping mask.

However, I am having difficulty using a clipping mask over multiple text layers. It seems to only do it to one layer directly beneath. I do not want to merge the text layers as I want to mess about with the design a fair bit.

Photoshop :: CS5 / Merging Layers Isn't Quite Same

Dec 18, 2012

I have a document with three "normal" layers and two hue/saturation adjustment layers. They're at the top. The next two layers, and the adjustment layers, have layer masks. The bottom layer has no mask. The blend mode between the fourth and fifth layers (counting from the top) is "Hard Light".  The blend mode for all other layers is "normal", and all opacities are 100%.
 
When I flatten the layers, what I get is not what I had before the layers are different, hard to describe exactly how.  I notice that if I merge the fourth and fifth layers (with the "Hard Light" blend mode), and only those two layers, I get the same behavior as when I flatten the entire image.
 
So why would merging two layers that have the "Hard Light" blend mode at 100% opacity look different than when the layers aren't merged?

Photoshop :: Layers Merging By Themselves

Jun 26, 2009

I have just bought CS4. I was using PSP X2 so have some knowledge of how things work.

I'm having a problem with layers.

I open up a background layer - fine.

I add a second layer and add an image - fine.

I add a third layer but when I add an image, the first two layers automatically merge together into a new background layer.

The images are all the same size and being added from the bridge.

Photoshop :: How To Automate Merging Of Multiple Layers By Name

Mar 30, 2013

I have to combine over a 800 files each with sixty layers to create a final document with 60 layers (for an animation). All the 60 layers in each file are named 01, 02, 03 up to 59, 60.

I am using Photoshop CS6 and at present I am merging by using the find/name function, then highlighting all the layers selected and then using 'merge layers'. Is there a quick command / action to merge all layers with the same names, ie all 01s, all 02s etc without having to merge each set of layers separately.
