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...

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)?

Having trouble with my filters in the filter gallery not all working on the image.

Bas relief filter is not adjusting all the layers. It is applying the filter to a white screen. The underlying image does not show through. I did this successfully yesterday - can't figure out what went wrong.
The image is in RGB color, 8 bit, and I've tried to do this in both TIFF and PSD formats.
I have been creating images by opening the image and then immediately going into the bas relief filter and applying the filter. This time, when i do that, the preview image in the filter panel goes completely white. I can see very, very faintly that there is the design in there, as though the design is hidden well behind a thick layer of white. I adjust the sliders, and it doesn't help.
To make matters worse, it's doing this for a few of the filters! Some of them work just fine, and some don't!
Where I used to be able to go through the entire filter gallery and see how every filter would love on an image, now many of them just show a white screen when I try to apply them, so I know that it's not only the bas relief filter.
I have a job to turn out - so I need to figure out what I've done wrong!
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

OK - that is the problem! I can't thank you enough!!!
Another question - I have the other file that is exactly what I want to
duplicate. Is there a way that I can go into the other file and see the
color settings for foreground and background that existed prior to the
change and duplicate them?
I was working on several different files that look quite similar, as I was
adjusting the color to have lighter varations. They all started out the
same, though.
It looks like the File>Info shows the process of changes, and I would love
to know what the settings were before the changes- what the settings were
when I opened the file.
Again, I can't thank you enough!

Photoshop lighting effects puts horizontal line through image

Apply filter > Lighting effects to an image (300 ppi RGB) and when photoshop renders the lighting, there is a horizontal line through the image. It is not a screen or video issue, it is in the image and has to be retouched out like corrupt image.
not a transparency issue, tried different file formats, flattened image first, etc.
WHY?
Had this happen before, but now in Cloud V6 is really aggrevating. People have been posting about this for at least 3 versions with no answers.

Moved from the Creative Cloud to the Photoshop forum. They will be able to help you here.

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!

RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop. Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop. How can I correct that?

Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

I'm trying to export a raw image from lightroom 5.6 to Photoshop cc 2014 2.1. I right click to export menu in lightroom as I've always done to export to Photoshop. Photoshop opens, but it can't open file, window opens to find a file to open. I'd like this to export my lightroom images to edit in photoshop as it has always been able to do for me.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

RAW images in Lightroom 3

When I import my RAW images into Lightroom 3 (for Mac), they look great until I click on an image to view it. Then, automatically Lightroom changes the coloring and quality of my image. It makes it look terrible! I didn't even click on any presets or sliders. I want my images to look the way they do when I first import them. Is there a setting that I need to turn off or change?

Digital cameras capture images in a raw format.and depending on the camera model you have you have the option to allow the camera to process the raw data and provide a jpeg / Tiff image file you can view on your computer. You may also have the option for your camera to retain the raw data and have this processed by software provided by your camera manufacturer.
You also have the option to use third party raw processing software to process the raw data, Lightroom / Adobe ACR, are one of these providers. Third party raw processing software use their own proprietory processes and profiles to carry out this process. They are all different to your camera manfacturer processes which are proprietory so what your are seeing is expected, you are being provided with an alternative to what your camera manufacturer provides.
Have a look at the following article from an independent source.
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-raw-files.shtml
Lightroom provides you with lots of tools to be creative in generating an alternative rendition of the raw data or also creating your own preset to match the rendition created by your camera.

Can't upload Canon 6D raw images to Lightroom v 4.4

Hi - hope someone can help. Not very technical but just upgraded my camera to a Canon 6D and tried to upload my raw images to LIghtroom v 4.4. Keep getting and error message that it does not recognize the files. Any help would be appreciated

When you say the files could not "upload" I guess you mean "import". I suspect you are trying to copy them to a particular hard drive/ folder. Make sure that you have full permissions for the drive/folder that you are trying to copy the file to.
A message that the files could not be read could be that the files could not have been first written to the particular folder.
If you need further help please give full particulars of you computer and operating system.

Can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

No. Lightroom 4.x will never be able to open Raw files from the D810.
D810 support has only just been added to the RC version of Camera Raw 8.6. It is never retrospectively added into older versions.
Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
Adobe will probably add D810 support to the next version of Lightroom.
Either way you'll have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 to be able to open D810 Raw files in Lightroom.

Hi! i took black and white pictures in RAW, but in Lightroom i see these only in color. what to do? thank you

hi! i took black and white pictures in RAW, but in Lightroom i see these only in color. what to do? thank you

You may want to read this I imported a mix of color and black and white raw files but lightroom changed all the black and white file to color?
The Black and white you see is just the cameras representation of the "raw" pixel information straight from the sensor. The RAW file format has yet to undergo demosaicing, and so it contains just one red, green, or blue value at each pixel location.
Lightroom, or any other RAW processor, doesn't recognize the in-camera processing because it is unique to the camera.

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.

you can update your pse 9 and hope for the best, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and you can always use dng converter.
or specify your camera so we can determine whether that will help and if you need a dng converter link, indicate your os.
