Border Filters

Border filters allow you to frame objects in a composition in various ways.

Bevel

Creates a bevelled border around the edges of an object by superimposing an angled
frame over the original image. The simulated direction of reflected light and opacity of
the bevel can be adjusted to vary the effect.

This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups.
