Emboss
 
 
 

The Emboss effect gives the illusion that the image has been raised from its surface and lit from a specific direction, making it appear three-dimensional.

Name

Specifies the operator's name.

Opacity

Sets the opacity of the effect over the input image. A value of 0 makes the effect completely transparent, while a value of 100 makes it completely opaque.

Use Alpha As Mask

Uses the input image's alpha channel as a mask for applying the effect. The effect is fully applied to areas of the image where the alpha channel is white, and not at all to areas where it is black.

Run Effect On

Enable the RGB and/or Alpha options to specify whether the effect is applied to the RGB channels, the Alpha channel, or both.

Relief

Set lower values to decrease the amount of embossing, or set higher values to increase the amount.

Light Position

Select the direction from which to illuminate the image. Changing the light position will highlight different embossed features in the image.
