    I'm honestly having some trouble discerning what it is that you're saying has gone wrong.

     

    Can you please re-state the problem here, and maybe annotate your drawing with arrows pointing out where you're perceiving problems?

     

    Thanks.

    Never mind, I guess you're talking about the "chisel marks".  I've made them show quite a bit more strongly here...

    I don't know how you'd make that smooth, which is I guess what you're wanting, right?  Perhaps someone else does.

     

    Edit:  Had a thought:  If you center a perfect circle of pixels that looks as above, you could use Radial Blur to smooth it.

    To add to Noel's suggestion try the following:

     

    1. Use the ellipse tool to draw a shape layer.

     

    2. Go to the Blending options and set the fill opacity to zero

     

    3. Add a stroke using center (from the layer effects)

     

    4. Add your bevel and emboss effect

     

    5. Convert the layer to a smart object

     

    6. Run the radial blur filter using the Spin option

    Good one.

     

    As another possible approach, I found that once I "baked" the effect into the pixels I could use a Median filter to smooth things out...

    I'm not sure why those chisel marks are produced when using chisel hard and chisel soft, but it's been the same since photoshop 6

    and the old extensis photo bevel plugin produced the same results as well. There must be a good reason or that probably would have

    been fixed if it were some kind of bug.
