(Contours menu) To create a relief like effect on an object. You can make an object look as if it was carved out in the background using Etch or you can make it stand out against the background using Emboss. To obtain these effects, both functions create a number of new objects (a back object and side objects) derived from the original one (the front object) and group them in a particular way. Etch also turns the original object into a mask. By assigning colors of different shades to the various objects, you obtain the desired optical effect. You can create either parallel or perspective Etch/Emboss. Parallel means that a copy of the original object is moved by a certain distance, without changing the size, whereas Perspective means that a copy of the original object is moved and scaled with respect to a vanishing point. When you choose Etch/Emboss from the Contours menu, the Etch/Emboss dialog box appears. Etch/Emboss dialog box Parallel Etch/Emboss tab sheet 250
