bevel and emboss style is supposed to make the *edges* of the layer content bright or dark to achieve an effect of a raised surface, without affecting the interior of the content in any way. However Krita's layer effect currently makes the entire shape lighter with the same shade of color that the highlighted areas. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. apply bevel-and-emboss layer style to layer 2. examine result 3. Actual Results: the entire shape becomes lighter, shadowed edges become darker Expected Results: highlighted edges become lighter, shadowed edges become darker

Yeah, confirmed. We spent a long time trying to fix it already, but right now photoshop's exact algorithm eludes us...
Not a regression.
Not a programmer, so I can't tell if this works, but found something - perhaps this could help with getting the algorithm right? https://dsp.stackexchange.com/questions/530/bitmap-alpha-bevel-algorithm
Thanks, we'll take a look
(In reply to Boudewijn Rempt from comment #5) > Thanks, we'll take a look Hello! I'm bumping this ticket because it's been a long time since its submission and also quite a time since the last official reply. I'm currently on version 4.0.3 and the issue is still there. Are we expected to see a fix for this soon? It's the only reason I'm not too fond of using Krita for UI Design yet.
No, there's no solution, the stackexchange link didn't actually help, and Krita isn't meant to be used for UI design...
I am just starting to try Krita, but see this problem in v5.1.3. I think this needs a fix. Thanks.
Re-confirmed for 5.2.6.
