Tutorials / Inner and Outer Bevel Part 1
  This tutorial is about using different bevel functions. I developed this effect when I was playing around with Paint Shop Pro and hope you will like the effect. If you have questions please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail. An organisatorial remark: Since I had to do a lot of screenshots I decided to divide this tutorial into two pages to make loading faster. But now let's go! :)) Open a new picture("File"/"New", 300x150 pixels, background white, foreground white, resolution 150 p/inch.   Set
the foreground and background color to white. This is important for the
functions we want to use later in this tutorial.Activate the text tool. You may want to use Times, size 90, color white. Click the "bold" button. Enter some text (I always use my favourite: ABC). Set "Create as" to "Floating".  Center the floating selection so you have sufficient space around it in your graphic.  Now click "Selections"/"Modify"/"Feather" and set the number of pixels to 5.   As result the graphic looks a littlebit swollen.  For the next step please activate the flood fill tool  ,
set the fill style to "Linear Gradient" and the color setting
to "Red-yellow-red". Please set the other settings as you see
them on the screen shots below.
 Click inside the text selection and see what happens:  Now we use the first bevel function. Click "Image"/"Effects"/"Inner Bevel" and choose "Angled" from the drop-down menu in the upper middle.  Click "OK" to use the effect on the graphic.  Please go to the next page to go on with this tutorial. (new counter since 12/27/2001) FastCounter by bCentral |
