Emboss--AE


    This effect sharpens the edges of objects in the image and suppresses colors. The effect also highlights the edges from a specified angle.

    Direction

    Specifies the apparent direction in which the highlight source is shining, in degrees. A setting of 45 degrees causes the shadow to be cast in the northeast direction.

    Relief

    Specifies the apparent height of the embossing, in pixels. The Relief setting actually controls the maximum width of highlighted edges.

    Contrast

    Specifies the sharpness of the image content's edges. At lower settings, only distinct edges show the effect. As you increase the setting, the highlight becomes more extreme.
