After rendering the image, we need to open it in Photoshop and use the
Ctrl
+
Shift
+
N
combination to create a new layer on top of the image. Give a name to the layer,
something like varnish layer and press
Shift
+
F5
to open the
Fill
option, as shown in
the following screenshot:
With the
Fill
window open, select
50% Gray
as the color to fill the new layer in the
Contents
field. This new layer with the 50 percent gray color is useless unless you

the varnish layer and go to the
Layer
menu, and under the
Layer Style
submenu,
select
Bevel & Emboss
, as shown in the following screenshot:
