Pro Tip 5: Inner Shadow Instead of Bevel and Emboss

Love these tips so far! I figured I'd add one to the list.

It is better to use an inner shadow for sharp bevel effects, instead of "bevel and emboss". This may seem counterintuitive at first (especially for highlights), but the effect is much sharper, especially around rounded corners.
