Photoshop: How to highlight object corner giving raised effect that is visible irrespective of background color?
but nothing seems to visible like that on dark background color object corners and it looks flat.
Changing Altitude and Angle values shows raised effect on dark color but is not visible on light color. Played a lot many times with values but cannot get desired results. Am I missing something?
Please tell how can I get the raised effect visible on dark and light colored background object corners?
You have a camera lens or some other interesting part surrounded by a beveled frame. The interesting part is in my image only dark grey, but I call it Mid part, the bevel area is lighter grey. You want to color the bevel as described in the question, but Mid part must stay as is.
At first we have BW test background layer, then we have two copies of the problematic shape. One copy has the beveled area and Mid part (= all), the other copy is the Mid part only. You need it because beveling easily affect to the whole shape. Delete the bevel area with a selection or set a layer mask to get the Mid part only.
You have to play with the HIghLight Mode and Shadow Mode.
The highlight mode is not needed after some tests.
I put a lighter color in the Shadow Mode and set it to Screen adjusting its opacity(The normal mode will work fine too).
