bevel and emboss - pixelating on output (pdf and jpeg) and in CPU preview

[wendym60694278]

I have created a round corner box to which I have applied a bevel (inner bevel smooth).

The effect looks great in GPU preview.

If I change the view to “preview on CPU” it appears pixelated (in squares).

This also happens if you export the file as high resolution JPEG or PDF.

Where am I going wrong?

When you let the CPU render the graphic effect, it gives you "the exact" representation of the pixel involved in the image. The GPU gives you a shaded result.
