Then, with the blurred layer selected, click the gear icon at the top right of the layer panel.
If you want a quick fix then you can duplicate the rasterized beveled text, and then apply a blur to that.

Obviously I could use 3d software (Blender, for example) to create even more interesting looking 3d lettering, but here I just want to create a simple bevel/embossing effect, which seems impossible to pull off adequately in Affinity with its layer effect. It seems it is possible to achieve a nice looking usable sharp-edged emboss effect in other software. I am not including Photoshop's inner emboss layer effect, because it fails in this case as well, and is not worth the effort. Notice the smooth looking transitions of the bevels. The following three examples are produced in Corel Painter (Bevel World layer effect), PhotoLine (layer effect), and Xara (bevel tool). The soften parameter will soften the bevel's edges too much, and cannot be applied. This is a simplified version in Affinity: The wanted bevel is a straightforward sharp looking one, not a rounded fuzzy effect. If you use the soften option and adjust the profile in both the bevel/emboss and 3D effects and then you can remove the banding on the effect as shown in the amended version of your file I hope they will pick up on this and improve the effect. The current quality of the sharp bevel effect in Photo is unacceptable, unfortunately. Technically it should be achievable then for the Affinity devs to achieve a similar quality effect. All are live effects, and look far better when compared to Affinity and Adobe. Xara includes a real 3d extruded bevel effect as well. Both Adobe and Affinity generate unusable sharp bevels/embossing.Ĭorel Painter's "Bevel World" layer effect does a good job, as do the layer effect in PhotoLine and Xara's bevel tool. Photoshop/InDesign do a pretty poor job too, as does the online PhotoPea. I would suggest that a smoothing option is needed alongside the soften option. I don't know if alternative photo editors have the same issue or if this is unique to AF. It's almost like someone used a chisel to cut out the letters and then forgot to use sandpaper to smooth it all out. I've had the very same problem with the emboss effect and have never found a solution.
