Hi there..First, i'd like to say this site is absolutely fab. i love it and have aready bookmarked it...My question is, if I have a graphic that is already beveled, is there any way to unbevel it and get back the original graphis or am I pretty much screwed? Thanks for your time! :confused:

If you have a graphic that has been beveled and you no longer have the original .PSD file with the effect on as a layer style, then you will have to do some editing to get it back to a non beveled state.

Depending on how complex the image is, it may just be easier to trace over the beveled image with the polygonal lasso tool or pen tool, make a new layer, and fill it with the original layer's color.

If the image is complex, like say a bevel applied to a photograph, then you will have to do some careful clone stamping to remove the bevel off of it.

You're not exactly screwed in any case, but you do have some work cut out for you if you don't have the original un-flattened .PSD.
