I have been trying for a while to achieve this embossed effect. I know it should be fairly straight forward but my dots always come out looking flat on top when I want more of a curve to them.

If so, just create two layers. You top layer is you template layer were you paint brush some slightly blurred dots. The base layer is a solid fill (chose white) and on the base layer, you run bumpmap and adjust the settings until you are happy.

I finally figured it out, thanks for all your help. I am going to post how I did it in the tutorial section, so anyone interested can use it.
