Bevel??

Hi Guys,

I have encountered a problem with the bevel effect of corel draw that I can't seem to resolve. I have a vector image and I convert to curves. Click on effects/bevel/soft edge bevel. I set my distance, I set my shadow colour & light colour and when I apply the bevel it changes the face colour to a murky combination of the original vector colour/shadow colour & light colour. Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong? or what needs to be done to resolve this. I do not want to chance the face colour of the text in any way.

Hope this is clear enough.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am very new to corel and I'm pulling my hair out with this.

Thanks
