Disappearing Icons/Controls in Blur Gallery and Lighting Effects Filters

About a month ago (after I downloaded Photoshop 2014 but BEFORE the most recent update); I found that the adjustable tack icon (in Field Blur) and the light icons (in Lighting Effects) have disappeared.  I can still adjust their controls but they don't appear on the screen so I'm not sure where exactly they are and thus can't move them.  Anyone else had this issue?  This has persisted after the most recent update.

Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
What are the Performance Preferences?
What have you done for general trouble-shooting so far (restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be of special interest)?

Edit: Have you tried changing the GPU "Advanced Settings" (and restarting Photoshop, otherwise that won’t take effect)?

  • Filter gallery and lighting effects on raw image through lightroom?

    When opening a RAW image through Lightroom, I am unable to use the Filter Gallery or Lighting Effects. This does not happen when I open a raw image directly from my hard drive.
    Is there anything I can do to overcome this problem?

    Convert from 16-bit to 8-bit bit depth...

  • Blur Gallery and Smart Objects

    Despite a lot of reading I am not understanding some of the subtleties here. I have converted my layer to a smart object, and then gone into blur gallery where I have used Iris blur where I have dropped two different pins with the intent of isolating two different areas of sharpness in the photo.
    Then after I have rendered the filter I click on the smart object layer mask, and use a brush directly on the image to try and paint on some additional areas of blur. Unfortunately nothing seems to happen. I can wipe away some areas of blur, that exist but I can't do it in all blurred areas of the photo.  According to the video I should be able to paint on additional areas of blur.  I suspect this all has something to do with the fact that I am using two separate pins in the blur gallery, but I can't figure out how everything interacts.
    Hope someone can shed some light on this.

    I am not sure what I could show you a screen shot of.  My problem is that I want to paint directly on the mask in order to add or subtract additional areas to it with a brush.
    If I double-click on the name of the of the smart filter in the layers panel it reopens the blur gallery, and yes I can edit the mask there, but not by using a brush.  The tools for editing the mask in the blur gallery are not allowing me to get the precise shape I want, and that is why I wanted to edit the mask directly outside of the blur gallery.  This video here CreativeCloud Smart Object Support for Blur Gallery and Liquify in Photoshop CS6 Creative Cloud - YouTube from Adobe indicates at approximately the  1 minute mark, that doing what I am suggesting will work; Unfortunately I am having only limited success.

  • Blur Gallery tools from the Filters menu in PsCC

    When I try to use the Blur Gallery tools from the Filters menu in PsCC the control overlays which should display on the image do not appear. How do I get them?

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You can place the Tab Bar on top.

  • Trouble with Photoshop CC 3D and Lighting Effects errors

    I can not use Lighting Effects and 3D because of these errors keep appear
    I have 4GB RAM and I already checked 'Use Graphics Processor' box. Photoshop CS6 works fine with the same setting but Photoshop CC doesn't. Video card and RAM didn't cause these errors. I think it's Photoshop CC. I want to use only Photoshop CC and remove Photoshop CS6 but I can't because I still need to use 3D and Lighting Effects. That cost my hard drive memory to use 2 Photoshop versions at the same time.
    I already removed both of them clearly and reinstalled but it doesn't work.
    Please help me out! Thanks!

    Hi, mjarrott
    My system is Windows 7. (GB Ram 8.00 on a Dell Optplex 980) And Photoshop is my newly purchased in Portuguese, because I'm Brazilian. The problem appears when I try to use the Filters menu - finishes - lighting effects.
    My old version worked just fine ...

  • Nokia 3120 classic and light effects

    Is there any way to get light effects (like 3110) on the profiles? 
    It is  very useful for incoming calls and sms.

    Nokia does not have any support for Mac.
    Nokia has very good support for Mac users, in general:

  • CS5 and Lighting Effects filter

    I'm very used to using the Lighting Effects Filter which I can't seem to use with files that have gone through Nik software plug-ins.  Can anyone point to any video tutorial or other educational material which I can use to find a way to emulate the lighting effects filter?  I'm using CS5 V12.1 x64.  I'm not a professional so upgrading to CS6 is not feasible.
    Thanks. 

    Your reply prompted me to check bit depths of my files.  It appears the lighting effects filter only works (CS5 64-bit on a PC) on 8-bit files.  I generally manage my files through LR3.6 and when they are brought into CS5 they are 16-bit.  The older files I used the lighting effects filter on must have been brought directly into CS5 as those files seem to come in as 8-bit. So, not at all a Nik issue.  It doesn't solve the problem of not having access to that filter on the files I just finished editiing since they're all 16-bit but at least now I know what to look out and plan for.
    Thanks.

  • Flight Query and Light Effects.

    Just bought a Nokia Asha 300 and wanted to know what "Flight query" in the settings menu was for...just says on or off...and also what does the "light effects" do...nothing different seems to happen when either switched to on or off so not sure. Thanks for your help x
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Flight Query : When you switch the Mobile ON it displays the question, "Do you want to turn on in flight mode?" Just an additional query if you forget to do that when required...
    Ligt Effects : Will inform you of any Missed Calls / Messages thru' blinking light thru' one of the Keys ...

  • Book, Web Gallery and Light Table Not Working

    When I try to create a new book or open an old one the design window does not open. Cannot get to the light table and other features as well.
    Where did they all go?

    This sounds odd. Did you try quitting and relaunching? You might delete the .plist in the Preferences and rebuild the database (Option>CMD on launch).

  • Lighting Effects and Blur Gallery defective in CC 2014?

    I'm not seeing the field controls or any control pins for either the Lighting Effects options or within the Blur Gallery. This is on an iMac/Yosemite setup, with the GPU enabled and both OpenGL and OpenCL available.
    Does anyone have ideas on what could be the problem here?
    thanks
    John

    hi,
    I managed to restore both the field and pin controls by going to View > Show > Show Extra Options, turning everything off and then going there again and turning things back on. For the Blur Gallery options, it is necessary to have Show > Edit Pins activated, no matter whether View > Extras is initially checked or not. You can actually execute the Edit Pins command with the Filter(s) active. This is very quirky.
    thanks for the response
    John
