Bevel Edges


    The Bevel Edges effect gives a chiseled and lighted 3D appearance to the edges of an image. Edge locations are determined by the alpha channel of the source image. Unlike Bevel Alpha, the edges created in this effect are always rectangular, so images with nonrectangular alpha channels do not produce the proper appearance. All edges have the same thickness. Best quality calculates the thickness of the chiseled area; the edge thickness is interpolated with smooth visual results.
