Adding a beveled-edge effect
Using the Image Effects Bevel Effect tool, you can add a three-dimensional effect around the edges of an image, making it appear raised above the page background.
To add a beveled-edge effect
- Select the desired image.
- Click the Layout tab, go to Effect, and then click Image Effects to open the Image Effects dialog box.
- On the toolbar, click (Bevel Effect).
- Click the Style box and select the desired shape of the beveled edges.
- In the Width box, enter the desired width of the beveled edges in pixels.
- In the Angle box, enter the desired angle of the apparent light source in degrees. A value of 0 means the light is coming from the image’s right.
- Click OK, and then click OK again to exit the Image Effects dialog box.
- In the Save as box, enter the path and file name under which to save the modified image. Initially, the box contains the original image’s path and file name; if you want to replace the original image file, leave the path and file name unchanged.
- Under Save format, select the desired image format.
- Click OK.
