Bevel effect goes away

[flowtime]

I am currently trying to make some text right with a pillow emboss effect. any time I try to save it or merge or flatten it the bevel effect completely disappears. I have Photoshop cs4 on Windows Vista.

---Tried to attach the file but the file limit is 19.5 kb

What comes to mind is the color of you background could be hiding the effect(perhaps the same color) change it and see if it is even close to same it will be very tough to see

Bevel and emboss goes away with merge or flatten

I have had the same problem for a long time, and my current project has black text on a bright orange field. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I have to have a flat file at the end...
