This technique was used in the early 19th century to produce exquisite black and white photos with incredible detail. </p><h2>Research</h2><p>Wet plate photos vary in composition and detail according to the photographer’s preferences and its overall exposure time. Because each photo is unique, it’s important to treat each photo individually by applying only the attributes of the technique in Photoshop. Study the history, process, as well as dozens of examples before attempting digitally to avoid copying the effect of just one photo reference. </p><h3>Attributes of Wet Plate Photos</h3><p>Here are some characteristics of wet plate photography to keep in mind:</p><ul><li>Wet plates are generally gray scale (no pure whites).</li><li>Chemicals may produce tinted photo with red, yellow, or blue undertones.</li><li>Streaks where the chemicals drip off are common.</li><li>The imperfections in each photo caused by debris, scratches, and changes in chemical reaction are what make them unique.</li></ul><hr /><h2>Step 1</h2><p>Open the stock photo of the ballet shoes in Photoshop. Since the collodion technique is often used to produce haunting photos I chose this stock because I thought it would be great for creating a similar mood. Think about a possible story behind your photo, and how it will affect the overall composition as you work on it. Feel free to add notes beforehand to remind yourself which qualities of wet plate will work best for your particular reference.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/1.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 2</h2><p>Let’s focus more on the tension and elegance of the ballet shoes by cropping the photo. Grab the crop tool and crop it so that there is roughly an equal amount of space from the top of the shoe to the bottom. Never be afraid to crop or alter a stock photo to better suit the desired composition. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/2.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 3</h2><p>I always like to keep a copy of the original to flip back to every now and then. Duplicate the original photo, place it into a group, and name the group” Wet Plate Effect.” This will be the new group where the effects take place. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/3.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 4</h2><p>Under the new group, right-click the copy of the original layer and duplicate it twice. Keep the bottom layer normal while you set the second layer to Hard Light, and the top layer to Multiply. The original photo is too light to work in grayscale just yet, so we want to make the tones of the photo richer before applying the black and white effect. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/4.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 5</h2><p>Changing the color balance also helps us get more of the tonal quality we want. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color balance and add the following properties to the Midtones, Shadows, and Highlights options. The colors are saturated in blues for now, but this option will help us later by improving tonal value.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/5.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 6</h2><p>Now it’s time to work in grayscale. Add a new adjustment layer for Hue/Saturation and bring the saturation down to -100. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/6.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 7</h2><p>Add a new layer above the Hue/Saturation layer. Using a low opacity, large round brush with a hardness of 0%, apply soft black shadows to the scene to emphasize the front foot. This also creates a softer transition of tones between the feet. Adjust the layer opacity by bringing it down to 92%.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/7.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 8</h2><p>Add a new transparent layer. Using the same brush settings, select the color #939393 and build soft strokes of gray to the back foot and leg. Bring the opacity of the layer down to 50%. This technique in combination with the previous step will help to create the soft muted tones often associated with wet plate photography. Feel free to either use the Eraser Tool (E) or the layer opacity to create the desired effect for both layers.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/8.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 9</h2><p>Add a new transparent layer. This will be used in experimenting with the smudges caused by the collodion chemical reaction. Using the same gray color (#939393) as before, apply the color to the lower right corner using a round brush with a 70px diameter, 75% hardness, and 60% opacity. Consider this the start of experimentation with the border of your “wet plate” photo. By setting the layer to Linear Light and lowering the opacity to 84%, we’ve created a soft “wet” look. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/9.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 10</h2><p>Not all wet plates are black and white. Sometimes the chemicals create red, blue, or yellow undertones. For this tinted effect, add a new layer and fill it with the color #938e5a. Bring the opacity of the layer down to 70% and set it to Multiply. Now let’s add some texture to the photo. Create another layer and fill it with the same gray color used previously. Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise and add an amount of 200% to the layer. Drag the Noise layer underneath the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer so that the color doesn’t show through. Set the layer to darken and bring down the opacity to 18%.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/10.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 11</h2><p>Now let’s work on the contrast between the front and back shoe. Select the “Original copy” layer and use the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) to trace around the entire back leg. Copy and paste the leg onto a new layer and set it to Linear Dodge. This effect makes the back leg look a little overexposed while the front leg retains its clarity.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/11.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 12</h2><p>Right-click the “Wet Plate Effect” group and duplicate it. Now in the “Wet Plate Effect copy” group, select all the layers and merge them together. Rename the merged layer to “wetplate2.” In wet plate photography there is often a blur that moves outward from the focal point. In this case the front ballet shoe is our focal point. So right-click the “wetplate2” layer and duplicate it. Go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and set the angle to -90 degrees and the distance to 16 pixels. Using a large, high opacity eraser brush with a hardness of 0%, erase along the side of the ballet shoe where the bands and skin meet. This allows the layer underneath to show through to retain enough detail.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/12.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 13</h2><p>Add a new adjustment layer for Brightness and Contrast. Set the Brightness to +91. Use a large, soft eraser brush and erase over the two large pockets of shadow on either side of the front shoe. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/13.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 14</h2><p>Select the “Wet Plate Effect copy” group and right-click to duplicate. Just as before, select all the layers now in the “Wet Plate Effect copy 2” group and merge them together. Rename the merged layer “wetplate3.” This group will be used for the finishing touches to the photo.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/14.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 15</h2><p>As we finish the photo we’ll continue tweaking the composition to fit the mood. Currently there is too much rich shadow to the right of the focal point. Add a new layer above “wetplate3” and fill it with the color #1d1d16. Bring the layer opacity down to 35% and use a large soft eraser brush to erase towards the left of the front ballet shoe. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/15.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 16</h2><p>As mentioned before, one of the characteristics of wet plate photography is the streaks from where the chemicals run off. To achieve this look, paste the “MetalLeaking0033” texture from CG Textures onto a new layer. Use the Free Transform tool to adjust the texture so that the leaking effect stretches across the canvas. To achieve a subtle effect, set the layer to Linear Dodge and bring down the opacity to 2%. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/16.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 17</h2><p>Since the overall composition is a little on the dark side, add a new layer above the texture and fill it with white. Set the layer to Overlay and bring down the opacity to 30% to brighten the photo. Notice how the mood is dramatically different from our first steps. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/17.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 18</h2><p>These last steps will add character to our piece. Though the front ballet shoe stands out well, the tone is just a tad off from where it needs to be. Add a new layer and use a soft round brush to apply a gray color to the shoe. Set the layer to Luminosity and bring down the layer opacity to 18%.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/18.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 19</h2><p>The imperfections during the exposure and developing process are what make each wet plate photo unique. Set the foreground color to #f4f4c9. Take a hard round brush and set it to Pen Pressure for use with your tablet. Begin building organic, low opacity shapes, by swiping the brush across the screen. Create specs and scratches by varying your pen pressure. Utilize the Eraser Tool (E) to soften or omit shapes as you see fit. Experiment until you find what works. After, bring the layer opacity down to 14%.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/19.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Step 20</h2><p>To finish this effect, let’s add a hint of a border. Add a new layer and use the same brush settings to apply black strokes along the left, right, and bottom edges of the photo. Use a soft eraser brush to soften the edges for a smooth transition. </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/0719_Wet_Plate/20.jpg"></div><hr /><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>You can now create your own timeless photo without all the mess or smelly chemicals.

With the right knowledge and experience, any effect can be achieved. To achieve these effects, however, you need to understand what each setting does and how they can be combined to achieve a certain look. In this series by John Shaver from <a title="Design Panoply" href="http://www.designpanoply.com" target="_blank">Design Panoply</a>, we will explain every aspect of Photoshop’s layer styles feature and show you how to unlock their potential.</p><p>In this article, <strong>Part 6: The Comprehensive Guide to Bevel and Emboss</strong>, we will explain the settings behind Bevel and Emboss, including Contour and Texture, and how they can be used. Let’s take a look!</p><p><span id="more-17308"></span></p><hr /><h2>The Uses For Bevel and Emboss</h2><p>Bevel and Emboss is often considered the most powerful and adaptable tools within Photoshop Layer Styles.</p><p>The traditional use for Bevel and Emboss is to make something look more 3-dimensional by adding highlights and shadows to different parts of your layer, but it doesn’t stop there.</p><p>With some special consideration and careful tweaks, you can create styles ranging from reflective chrome and refractive glass to chiseled stone and subtle letterpress graphics.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/01.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>The Layer Styles Bevel and Emboss Dialog Boxes</h2><p>The Bevel and Emboss dialog boxes are shown below, giving us a slew of new options. These will allow to set things like bevel height, lighting direction, texture map, and more.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/02.jpg" border="0" /></div><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/03.jpg" border="0" /></div><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/04.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Style</h2><p>The Style dropdown is where you set the style/location of your bevel and includes the following options:</p><ul><li>Outer Bevel: This applies the bevel to the outside of the shape you are applying it to</li><li>Inner Bevel: This applies the bevel to the inside of the shape you are applying it to</li><li>Emboss: This applies the bevel to both the outside, and the inside of the shape you are applying it to</li><li>Pillow Emboss: This applies the bevel to both the outside and inside of the shape you are applying it to, but in opposite directions</li><li>Stroke Emboss: This only works when you also have a stroke effect applied to your layer, and applies the bevel only to the stroke</li></ul><p>It may seem confusing, but simply scrolling through the different Style settings with the Preview box checked will quickly show you how they each work.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/05.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example, you can see that with Inner Bevel applied, it only affects the inside of the shape. With the Emboss style applied, the Bevel and Emboss affects both the inside <em>and</em> outside of the shape.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/06.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Technique</h2><p>The Technique dropdown menu allows you to set the overall shape of the Bevel and Emboss and includes the following options:</p><ul><li>Smooth: This setting creates a smooth, rounded edge bevel</li><li>Chisel Hard: This setting creates a hard, chiseled edge bevel</li><li>Chisel Soft: This setting creates a rougher, chiseled edge bevel</li></ul><p>Again, the best way to see the difference is to scroll through the settings with the Preview box checked.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/07.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example, you can see that text on the left is more smooth while the text on the right looks like it has been chiseled out of stone.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/08.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Depth</h2><p>The depth slider increases or decreases the apparent depth of the Bevel and Emboss. A lower number creates a less visible 3D effect while a higher number makes it more dramatic.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/09.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example, you can see how increasing the Depth makes the text look more 3-dimensional.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/10.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Direction</h2><p> The Direction radio buttons simply let you choose whether you want your Bevel and Emboss to appear to be extruded towards you, or away from you.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/11.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example, you can see how the "up" text appear to come out of the page, while the "down" text appears to sink into the page.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/12.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Size</h2><p> The Size slider sets the overall size of the Bevel and Emboss. A lower number creates a smaller effect that stays closer to the edges of your shape, while a larger number increases the Bevel and Emboss coverage to a bigger area of your shape.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/13.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example, the text on the left has a smaller bevel while the one on the right covers much more of the text.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/14.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Soften</h2><p> The Soften slider allows you to soften any hard edges created by your Bevel and Emboss. It can be helpful in creating soft and squishy looking styles.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/15.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example, you can see that increasing the Soften parameter helps us to create a much softer looking surface.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/16.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Angle and Altitude</h2><p> The Angle and Altitude area is where you set the position of your light. The Angle sets the horizontal position of your light source, and the Altitude sets the vertical position, or apparent height of your light source. You can also drag the small crosshair around to edit your light source without having to use numeric values.</p><p>Checking the "Use Global Light" checkbox will sync these settings with any other lighting related settings in your document like Inner and Outer Shadow.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/17.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example, you can see how changing the Angle and Altitude settings affects the perceived location of our light source.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/18.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Gloss Contour</h2><p>Gloss contour is the secret to creating great glass and metal effects.</p><p> The Gloss Contour sets the falloff of the shadows and highlights within our Bevel and Emboss. A linear contour creates a natural looking falloff, while choosing something like a "sine wave" style contour can create cool, reflective effects.</p><p>In addition, the Anti-aliased checkbox will smooth out any jagged edges within your gloss if it is desired.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/19.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example, you can see how the text on the left looks nothing like metal, but by changing the Gloss Contour, it begins to look more realistic.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/20.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Highlight Mode and Opacity</h2><p> There are two parts to lighting, highlights and shadows.</p><p>The Highlight Mode dropdown is where you set the blend mode for your highlights. Screen is the default setting, but you can also try Linear Dodge (Add), and Color Dodge for more dramatic effects.</p><p>This is also where you set your highlight color. Most of the time you will leave it at white, but if you want to simulate different color light sources, you can change the highlight to have a tint of color.</p><p>The Opacity slider adjusts the intensity of your highlight edges.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/21.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example you can see how changing the Highlight Mode, Color, and Opacity gives our style a slightly different, warmer look.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/22.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Shadow Mode and Opacity</h2><p>The Shadow Mode dropdown is where you set the blend mode for your shadows. Multiply is the default setting, but you can also try Linear Burn or Color Burn for more dramatic effects.</p><p>This is also where you set your shadow color. Most of the time you will leave it at black, but you can also achieve other subtle effects by using different tints of color.</p><p>The Opacity slider adjusts the intensity of your shadows.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/23.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example you can see how changing the Shadow Color and Opacity gives our wood style a subtle "mossy" look.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/24.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Saving And Loading Default Settings</h2><p>You can save and load default settings for each effect in the Layer Styles dialog box. By clicking "Make Default", Photoshop will store whatever settings are currently active as the new default settings for that effect.</p><p>By clicking "Reset to Default", Photoshop will then load whatever settings were last saved. This allows you to experiment and simply reload custom default settings if you want to start over.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/25.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Contour</h2><p>The Contour sub-section under Bevel and Emboss allows you to set the overall shape of your bevel. Checking the Anti-aliased checkbox smooths out your Contour, and the Range slider allows you to set the overall coverage of your bevel that you want your chosen contour to apply to.</p><p>This is another setting that is easier seen than said.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/26.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example you can see how changing the Contour to aninverted "U" shape gives our text an indented type of bevel.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/27.jpg" border="0" /></div><hr /><h2>Texture</h2><p>The Texture sub-section under Bevel and Emboss allows you to add a bump map to your style. A bump map makes the surface of your layer to appear higher or lower, giving us the ability to create special effects.</p><p>The Pattern area allows us to choose a pattern from Photoshop’s Patterns Palette to use as a bump map. Click the Snap to Origin button to align the Pattern to the origin of your document. You can also click the small "New" icon to create a new preset from your currently select Pattern.</p><p>The Scale slider lets you increase or decrease the size of your pattern, and the Depth slider changes the apparent depth of your bump map.</p><p>You can check the Invert checkbox to invert your pattern, make white areas black and black areas white.</p><p>Lastly, the Link with Layer checkbox locks the Pattern to your layer, so that if you move your layer around after closing the Layer Styles dialog box, the Pattern moves with it.</p><p>When the Layer Styles dialog box is open to the Contour sub-section, you can also drag the Pattern around on your canvas to position it manually.</p><div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://d2f8dzk2mhcqts.cloudfront.net/LSS_06_Bevel/28.jpg" border="0" /></div><p>In the following example you can see how adding a Pattern to our style can create a dramatically different looking effect.
