Also, isn't it bitmap?

That technique doesn't even work no matter what...it's still just a 2D image.

yeah but it gives the illusion, and isn't all that's on our computers nothing more than a 2-D image?

I'm saying that it should interact with light better.

Your method might work. What it looks like this person did was just bevel & emboss in PS. Yours looks better.

Weird. In either case, this skin doesn't look that different to me. Maybe get it from a different angle?

I can see a little difference. Looks like there's a little more detail, and some more contrast between the dark and the light.

I see a very small difference...but i say it almost looks worse than normal...and the monitor is ftw!!
