Rasterize Layer Style with Bevel & Emboss changes appearance

[AdamLC]

Working on serveral designs in Photoshop where I have the Bevel & Emboss effect turned on and getting unwanted results when I rasterize the layer or just try and export the layer as PNG file.

I need to rasterize the effects in order to export several layers as PNGs. This issue happnes whenever I export a layer with effects to PNG and tansparency, or if I just rasterize layer in the PSD.  I am using an "Outer Bevel" on a shape, Technique is "Smooth" with Highlight Mode and Shadow Mode set as soft light. Rasterizing, the effect seems to get enhanced. I've been able to replicate the issue in a new PSD. Anyone seen this or can help? 

1- This is the inital file. Shows as I want. 

2 - This is my Bevel & Emboss settings. 

3 - This is the unwanted result.

Rasterize layer first, then apply Bevel & Emboss fx.

Unfortuanlty that didn't work. Even after I rasterize the layer, the problem still happens when I Rasterize the Layer Style or export jus tthe layer as a PNG.

You have a White Stroke on the Blue Rectangle.

Can you show us those settings?

[AdamLC]

It is set to 0PX.

One Layer cannot have more than one Blend Mode. 

So the »Soft Light« setting in the Layer Style cannot be maintained in one rasterized Layer.
