1. A security element for counterfeit paper, valuable document or the like, with a medium that has a surface portion that is divided into a plurality of pixels, which respectively comprise at least one facet producing an optical effect (5), with most of the pixels respectively, have several facets producing an optical effect with the same orientation to the pixel, and the facets are oriented so that for the observer a surface section is perceived as protruding forward and / or d relative to its actual spatial surface shape. 2. The security element according to claim 1, wherein the facet orientation is selected so that for the observer a surface section is perceived as a non-planar surface. The protective element according to claim 1, in which the facets producing the optical effect are made in the form of reflective facets. The security element according to claim 1, wherein the facets producing the optical effect are made in the form of permeable facets with a refractive effect. The security element according to claim 1, wherein the facets producing the optical effect are configured such that the pixels do not have an optical diffraction effect. The security element according to claim 1, wherein the area of each pixel is at least an order of magnitude smaller than the area of the surface portion. The security element according to claim 1, in which the facets are made in the surface of the carrier. The security element according to claim 1, in which the facets are made in the form of embedded facets. The security element according to claim 1, in which the facets are made in the form of essentially flat surface elements. The security element according to claim 1, in which the orientation of the facets is determined by their inclination
