This effect let you add relief to your results. There are three basic parameters which controls the 3D effect: 1- Bumpiness: This parameter controls the depth of each stroke, as more higher values more notable is the 3D effect. 2- Softness: This parameter controls control how hard is the relief, as more higher value, less notalble (but possibly more natural) is the 3D effect. 3- Light Intensity: As more higher values, more lighter strokes you will obtain. Keep it in 30, if you don’t wish to distort the original colors.

Better Color accuracy: Some users reported color accuracy problems in large soft areas, like skin tones, or gradients. This problem is corrected in the 3.0 Version.
