I want give this effect on corners that looks raised instead of flat on both dark and light colored objects like below

enter image description here enter image description here

I tried using Bevel & Emboss effect:

enter image description here

As you can see below, light background color gets raised effect with above settings enter image description here

but nothing seems to visible like that on dark background color object corners and it looks flat. enter image description here

Changing Altitude and Angle values shows raised effect on dark color but is not visible on light color. Played a lot many times with values but cannot get desired results. Am I missing something?

Please tell how can I get the raised effect visible on dark and light colored background object corners?

I assume your structure is like this:

enter image description here

You have a camera lens or some other interesting part surrounded by a beveled frame. The interesting part is in my image only dark grey, but I call it Mid part, the bevel area is lighter grey. You want to color the bevel as described in the question, but Mid part must stay as is.

Bevel & Emboss should do it. Here's a test of it:

enter image description here

At first we have BW test background layer, then we have two copies of the problematic shape. One copy has the beveled area and Mid part (= all), the other copy is the Mid part only. You need it because beveling easily affect to the whole shape. Delete the bevel area with a selection or set a layer mask to get the Mid part only.

Apply Bevel & Emboss to the whole shape layer. Find rich enough shading to make the bevel different than both possible backgrounds. I made my own bumpy bevel curve. It unfortunately lightens the Mid part, but we have a copy:

enter image description here

Place the Mid part only version to cover the affected Mid part. Test the looks on both background colors:

enter image description here

ADD: One long time member suggested that you actually want the phone body to be shaded. He has quite often written something that should be noted. So, here's a single Bevel&Emboss setting for both black and white phone bodies:

  • I'm pretty sure OP wanted to know how to replicate the shadows/highlights on the rounded edges of the black phone.

  • I don't know man, he shows 2 original pictures with a white and a black phone and then 2 of his own attempts with the white phone showing a clearly different edge shadow and the black phone without any kinda highlight on the phone edge and he says "but nothing seems to visible like that on dark background color object corners and it looks flat".

You have to play with the HIghLight Mode and Shadow Mode.

The highlight mode is not needed after some tests.

I put a lighter color in the Shadow Mode and set it to Screen adjusting its opacity(The normal mode will work fine too).

See the image below:
