Elements 3.0 cannot save lighting effects styles

I am running a PIII 1 gig with 2 gig of memory Running win 2000Pro. I have Elements 3.0 installed and I have been using the lighting effects filter, but I have noticed that when the lighting effects box comes up there are no styles listed. Also I cannot save any lighting effects styles. When I try to save a Style I get the following error message:
'An error occured while trying to save the style'
I do not use any file compression on any of the drives or folder on my system.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated...
One more thing there are lighting effects styles on the hard drive. I found them in the Plugins folder under Filters/Lighing Styles.
Don

Thanks for the link to the FAQ Terri.
I checked and the proper settings were already present, but I reset them anyway. (couldn't hurt). Re-booted and cleared the preference files again. I still cannot see the lighting styles that are on the computer and I still cannot save the ones I build.
I have also tried and Un-install and re-install, but there must have been some files that were not cleared because after the re-install some of my settings came back. I will have to try again and this time I will make sure nothing is left after the Un-install.
I am very please with the help I have recieved on the Forum.. It always pays to have more than one mind looking for solutions.
Thanks again
Don

  • Cannot use lighting effect in CS6 extended

    When I use the lighting effect filter in CS6 extended, it only creates a new layer without any change in the menu and other things.  As advised, I try to edit the GPU setting under the edit menu but the column is in grey colour and cannot be edited.  I have changed my display card to AMD Radeon HD 7770 with an updated driver but it still not works.

    Are you sure the document is an RGB 8-bit/channel image?

  • Lost Lighting Effects Flashlight Style

    In PSCS3, under Filter>Render>Lighting Effects, I deleted "Flshlight", one of 17 "Style" options. I can't find a way to restore it, so now I have only 16 Style options. Surely, the Flashlight option wouldn't be permanently lost--or would it?

    HI
    All Of my Lighting Effects Styles have disapeared, I am using photoshop cs2. I have checked the folder Plug-Ins Filters and the folder Lighting Styles is in there with all 17 of the different styles. yet when I load photoshop and go to filter render lighting effects in the window that pops up the styles tab [I think that's what you call it] has a drop down list which is fully blank nothing there at all. I tried changing the advanced properties of the lighting styles folder from index this folder for faster searching and tried it without the checkmark. this did not help and i have since discovered that was for windows XP were as I am using windows Vista. Please can anyone give me some advise on how to correct this problem.
    Thankyou

  • Lighting effects in PSE 12

    I recently upgrade from PSE 9 to PSE 12. I like the difference in the user interface but cannot find Lighting Effects in Filter/Render.
    Is it tucked away somewhere else.

    No, alas, it's gone. But if you have an older version it can be copied over, at least in windows:

  • Photoshop CS lighting effects rendering malfunction

    You know I am really angry with Adobe regarding this issue. I have spent hours on the phone with them and they have no clue what they are doing it would seem. I have lost a client job because of this.
    If you have this issue please let me know:
    Try to render lighting effects in your image and you cannot manipulate your lights as in scaling and moving them. You will see the light but cannot do a damn thing with it.
    I spent 2 hours online with Adobe tech support which involved them taking remote control of my machine. New account was made in Windows and Photoshop launched under that account which solved it temporarily. Then it was decided to throw out all my ADOBE preferences under may account which worked until today when I started working again only to find out the problem is back.
    I am just completely dissapointed now with Adobe in general. If they cant fix their own software what is a user to do.
    Can anyone help with this issue from experience? Please do not guess - I am need an actual permanent solution.
    Thanks

  • Lighting effects filter missing

    I am using CS6 design & web premium and in Ps i have an image open (RGB 8 bit/) but cannot find 'lighting effects 'in the filter menu.
    In the filter>render list it should be there under 'lens flare' but its not. How do I access it?

    Its not there at  all or greyed out?
    The whole filter does need gpu 3d stuff. Mine is greyed out ever since i update my graphics drivers, grr
    So i need to roll back to earlier ones
    Maybe that filter isnt on that version, did it used to be, but now it went?
    As it uses 3d maybe its only on the extended version?

  • I cannot save custom lighting effects in Photoshop CS4

    Under Filters>Render>Lighting Effects.
    Whenever I try to save a custom lighting effect in Photoshop CS4 an error message pops up saying "An error occurred while trying to save the style."
    I am using an iMAC.
    Video display card / driver version: ATY,RadeonX1600
    Thanks for any help.

    I solved the problem by deleting my original user account, but saving all my files first.  I created a new account with adminstrative access, then opened up my old user files from the Deleted User folder and dragged them over to my new user account.  The problem with saving custom lighting effects in Photoshop is fixed.  Thanks for the tip leading me to realize it was the user profile causing the problem and not Adobe PS.

  • I deleted the Three lights down style in Lighting effects

    I accidently deleted the 'three lights down' style in lighting effects. It's not my recycle bin. I looked for this style to download again but could not find. Do I have to reinstall?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Yes you need to re-instal PSE.
    Before doing that, please remember to Deactivate the serial key from Help menu.

  • Lighting effects on Elements 13

    I can't seem to find the lighting effect on the Photoshop Elements 13 I just bought. I used to find it in Filters/Render. Is it a new feature with 13 or it's just me? I use a Windows 8.1 64-bit. Thanks.

    Apparently, Lighting Effects was dropped in Photoshop Elements 12 (and 13) because it was not compatible with the 64-bit Mac version...
    However if you're on Windows, then you may be able to restore the function into PSE 13 (or 12) – see either of these posts/guides for how to do it:
    PSE12--Lighting Effects Filter - Elements Village
    Restoring Lighting Effects Filters in Photoshop Elements 12
    Hope that helps!

  • Cant save a text style in elements 10

    Can someone please explain to me how to save a text style that I created so that I can reuse it later.  It took me forever to figure out how to make one and now that I finally got it like I want it, I cant make it show up in the styles menu.  I would really hate to loose all that hard work.  I've tried everything and cant figure it out... Please help..
    Thanks in advance
    melinda

    What do you mean by a "text style"?
    You can get a layer style from any image by opening the image, selecting the layer with the style on it and choosing Layer>Copy Styles, and then you can paste the style into another image using the same menu.

  • Problem with the light effect in Nokia 3110c

    And also....my Phone's software version says v06.02 but when i tried to check for the update on this site it says the latest one is v05.05 is it a greater version than mine??

    Hi there,
    the light effects option you are referring to performs the functions of notification lights on your device. by turning this light effects option on, lights contained on your device will either flash or fade in and out (sorry but i do not know where the lights are contained on the 3110 classic, but i guess they are there somewhere, maybe on the side?).
    version 5 is less than version 6, so of course this is not and cannot be an update.
    p.s. i just checked a 360 view of your phone and there seems to be no lights on the side panels of your phone. light effects i guess are referring to the keypad or button backlighting, see if they work when you receive a new message or missed call/sms. also see if there is a Power Saver function in the Display Settings, by turning the Power Saver off you may be able to enable/enable more light effects

  • How to bring-up Lighting Effects Presets

    I am exploring CS6 features (as a new users) and following an on-line course.  I selected Lighting Effects Filters but I cannot see any Presets, for example Soft Lights, the PREVIEW, CANCEL, or OK buttons on a ribbon that should appear at the top of the screen.

    Hi J_Giovanni, do you have the the toolbars hidden? Can you please try pressing the 'F' and Tab keys to toggle interface elements on and off?

  • Urgent - Need help with Lighting Effects Filter

    Hi,
    I need urgent help on something regarding the Lighting Effects filter in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I need lighting effect urgently to complete a project.
    I am using Photoshop CS5 on a Windows Vista computer in 64-bit mode.
    On the net it is given that you can run photoshop CS5 in 32-bit mode to use the lighting effects filter - both on Mac and PC.
    My Problem:
    While on the net it is given how to change from 64-bit to 32-bit and vice-versa, I have my Photoshop CS5 installed on 'E - Drive' and not on 'C - Drive' due to lack of space. I have followed all the instructions on how to open it in 32-bit mode on the net, but I still cannot use the lighting effects plugin.
    What I need is if someone could give simple and clear instructions on how to open Photoshop CS5 32-bit version instead of opening the default 64-bit version on Windows Vista - that would be great.
    Looking forward to answers.
    Thanks.

    That advice about running the 32 bit version of cs5 for the Render> Lighting Effects filter
    only pertains to the mac version of photoshop cs5.
    The lighting effects filter does work in the 64 bit version of photoshop cs5 on windows, your
    document just has to be 8 bits/channel and in the RGB Color mode (Image>Mode) same
    for using the lighting effects filter in the 32 bit version of cs5.
    Added: In general it's frowned upon installing photoshop on drives other than C drive.

  • Error message: iMovie cannot save changes to the library!?!

    iMovie crashed my computer and now I can't creat a new movie.
    Here's the full error message:
    iMovie cannot save changes to the library.
    The hard disk where your library is located may be full or unavailable or permissions may have changed. To avoid losing your work, quit iMovie.
    What's up with this? I tried trashing the preferences, but got the same message. I have a 27-inch late 2013 iMac running Mavericks with 445.55 GB free space.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    You've already tried trashing iMovie preferences (By the way think in Mavericks you have to reboot as well after this for the new preferences to take effect) .  One other thing to try is creating a new user account, logging in and seeing if you can create a new project in iMovie (of course you won't see your exisitng projects).  If you can then iMovie itself is OK.  If not  then the only other thing I can think of is re-installing iMovie  (see http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/How-To-Re-Download-Apps-From-The-Mac-Ap p-Store.htm)
    Is everthing else working OK after your computer crash?  Maybe you should also run Verify disk in Disk Utility.
    Maybe someone-else has some other suggestions (I have not heard of this problem before)?
