: How can I make this bevel and emboss effect look deeper I am trying to design an image which looks like this: But I ended up with the following image: (edited image) I tried adding layer

@Ravi4787994

I think the key is that you're doing the Bevel and Emboss a little bit backwards.

To replicate that image, I would instead apply the Bevel and Emboss to a wood panel that has the area "punched out":



We still need something for the backdrop, so I duplicated the original layer and offset it by a few pixels down and to the right (this will help with the depth effect in the finished product)



To the top layer, I will apply the Bevel and Emboss (using these settings)



We're still not fully there, the original image has a lot more depth. There are two final touches to make. The first is to add a drop shadow to the top layer to really bring it out (I used these settings):



The final touch is to darken the bottom/background layer. I used an adjustment layer, but there are of course many ways to do that. Here's what the finished product looks like:

You need to click on the Bevel and Emboss option in your window. You are currently on the Blending Options general tab so you don't see the available options for beveling.



After you click on Bevel & Emboss you will see options to increase your Depth:

Change settings of the bevel effect (do not forget its colors' blend mode.) also change the brightness of the wooden texture layer.
