Apply embossing

The Emboss Live Filter makes an image, object, or text appear inset into or raised from the canvas.

An object, with Inset Emboss, and with Raised Emboss

  1. Click the Add Live Filters button in the Property inspector, and then select an emboss option from the pop-up menu.

  2. Edit the filter settings.

    If you want the original object to appear in the embossed area, select Show Object.

    Note: For backward compatibility, in older documents, the Show Object option is deselected for objects that have Emboss Live Filters applied.
