HIGHLIGHT Blend Mode on Outer bevel FX


Recommended Posts

Why in the Highlight of Outer bevel when set to NORMAL blend mode it is really transparent in the FX panel?

Because obviously that's the 3D nature of the Bevel/Emboss effect.
Also, all other parameters matter as well.

This is possibly close to what you're trying to achieve, right?

Note the depth and direction values.

You might get better results by using the 3D effect with multiple light sources, adding an outside vector stroke to extend the effect beyond the fill, and then fine tune all parameters until it fits & sits:

But then again, perhaps it's faster just to duplicate layers and compose them by clipping/cropping/nesting/grouping etc.
Also, it always depends on what your intended output format and medium will be.
