How do I recreate this effect, and which software do I use, I assumed it was photoshop emboss and bevel, but how do I achieve this bumpy effect on the surface?

Line colour is a dark grey
Bevel Emboss. You can't add any softening, or it will spoil the texture.
Texture. I found this in the Legacy textures.
The above settings will be too much for the finer detail, so you'd need to do that on separate layers. I made the layer a Smart Object, out of habbit, but it actually worked against me with this. You'll need to be able to experiment with brush and eraser. There will be a wee hole in the lines bottom left hightlight. The top right highlight

The top right highlight would not work with the eraser, but if you selected the v shaped nick with the lasso tool and deleted the selection, that will do it.
If you have a go, please share what you make. Good luck. This sort of project is so much more interesting than tarting up photographs.
