Step Six: In the Gradient Overlay
settings, set the Blend Mode to Multi-
ply, the Opacity to 100%, the Style to
Radial, the Angle to 33°, and the Scale
to 107%. Also, check on Reverse and
turn off Align with Layers.
Click directly on the canvas
and drag the center of the gradient
to the upper-right area of the can-
vas to create the base light effect
for the background. This can be
adjusted later, so you don’t have
to make a final decision here. Don’t
click OK yet.Step Seven: In the Layer Style dia-
log’s sidebar, activate Bevel & Emboss.
We’ll adjust the bevel settings in a
moment but first activate Texture
below Bevel & Emboss. In the Tex-
ture settings, click on the Pattern
thumbnail to open the Pattern Picker,
and select the custom pattern we
created in Step Four (it should be at
the bottom of the list). Now uncheck
Link with Layer and click the Snap
to Origin button to set the texture in
its original position. Set the Depth to
–25%, and leave the Scale at 100%.Step Eight: Click back on Bevel &
Emboss and modify the settings as
shown here. The colors for the High-
light Mode and Shadow Mode should
be consistent with the overall lighting
in the design (for the Highlight Mode
we used R: 255, G: 245, B: 233, and
for the Shadow Mode, we used
R: 203, G: 2, B: 151). You can change
the direction of the light by moving
around the point in the circular Angle
setting (this can be adjusted as you
go). Also be sure to click on the Con-
tour thumbnail, and select the Linear
preset. Click OK when done.
