Lighting Effects Blanked out

I've got an image open, which I added an adjustment, desaturation, then lowered the opacity hue to about 70%. Now I'd like to render lighting effects, but in the menue it is blanked out. I've got CS4 on a MacBook Pro.
Any ideas?

I've got an image open, which I added an adjustment, desaturation, then lowered the opacity hue to about 70%.
»Opacity hue«? Do You mean Hue or the Opacity of the Adjustment Layer?
The Filter Lighting Effects also won’t work on CMYK- and L*a*b-images.
Are You applying the Filter as a Smart Filter?
And have You considered trying to achieve the effect with Gradients or Adjustment Layers?

Help lighting effects greyed out in photoshop cc

Have an RGB image 8 bit , using macbook pro about 3 years old , the menu is greyed out cant access lighting effects filter . done search no luck
help please if possible . want to have sun light streaking through underwater
thanks

I had this problem and tried lots of things advised on here but nothing worked. Eventually I uninstalled Creative Cloud Desktop using the uninstaller then reinstalled it from the CC site. When I reopened Photoshop the Extensions menu was available and the add-ons loaded. I have done this on two Macs now and it worked both times.

Lighting effects filter greyed out in CS6

I have CS6 on Windows 7 on my PC all 32 bit. The new lighting effects filter is greyed out although the old one is available. On my laptop which is also Windows 7 but 64 bit, the new filter is available. Can I get the new filter on my PC? My video card driver is up to date.

Web pages blanked out by light blue screen T510

I also have a blue screen problem.
Web pages are often, but not always, blanked out by a light blue screen.
This happened while I was writing the previous sentence.
The immediate remedy is to click on another tab, and then click back.
But I would like to solve the problem permanently. It is irritating - and unprofessional - on such an expensive computer.
Anyone have any ideas?
Any drivers to download? (I solved the fuzzy font problem by downloading a driver, but I can't find one for this)
Moderator edit: Added detail to subject.

Sure sounds browser related. There is a small chance it's browser vs graphics driver somehow.
If you are running FireFox (4 in particular) what happens if you turn off the "use hardware accelleration if available" option in the browser?
This is a real WAG, so I don't expect it to pan out.

Sorry, you have lost me since it appears that you have two completely separate issues here.
All that I can suggest is you start over and try to set up the Time Capsule again first...and then, once that is done and the Time Capsule is working correctly on the network....then, try to troubleshoot the separate Time Machine issue.
If you decide that you want to do this, we'll need some basic information:
Make and model number of your modem?
You are using OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), correct?

Screen Blanks Out while in use

I have a very odd problem with my Macbook. To be clear, this was purchased as an Apple Refurbished model over the holiday season, so it's only a month or five weeks old. It's the 2gHz Black Macbook, 80GB HDD, 1GB ram, OSX 10.4.x (unsure which revision of 10.4).
The first incident happened on New Year's Day. I was using the laptop on battery power, and somewhere between 20% and 30%, the screen blanked out. I figured that the power had run out, and it hibernated (odd, I usually get a "your battery is almost drained, please switch to power" message), so I plugged it in and re-opened the lid.
No response. I can hear the optical drive grind on, but that's about it. The screen flickers once, but stays black thereafter.
I took it into the Apple Store later that day, and had a Genius look at it. Of course, as soon as I bring it into the store, I open the lid; and lo and behold, the screen works perfectly. The Genius looked in my system logs and told me that the system had indeed hibernated, but when it came back online, there was a problem with the video drivers, so the screen didn't recognize that it should be on. Told me it was a one-time thing, and that everything should be just fine.
Well, I took it home and kept using it, testing it a couple of times by burning the battery down overnight, and plugging it in during the day and checking it. Each time, it came back from Hibernation just fine.
After a week or so of testing it, I just returned to my normal usage patterns, until Sunday night.
I was using the laptop - this time on wall power! - and I had the screen blankout. Again, I didn't know what was going on, so I did the only thing that seemed to work last time, I closed the laptop, unplugged and replugged it, and checked it a few hours later. Again, my screen works perfectly, as though nothing had ever happened.
I didn't get a chance to thoroughly test it on Monday night, but under normal usage patterns, it worked just fine. I bring it into work tonight (Tuesday night), _AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN_. The same circumstances as the last time it happened: plugged in, just idling at the desktop.
I'm beginning to think there's a pattern, but I don't know what's happening. I should mention that on all three occasions, I physically shutdown the machine, which would seem to make it such that when it's turned back on, I'm getting a fresh boot. When I turn the power back on, I do see the white light at the front, and I hear the optical drive making noise, but no "Apple" sound, and no screen.
I followed the advice of the Apple support article - clearing the PRAM - as I had two of the three indicators that the laptop was turning on, but still nothing (but that assumes that we're using a fresh boot). I also attempted to shut down the machine using the keyboard shortcut - ctrlcommandeject - but that makes no noticeable difference.
So, I'm asking for advice. One, what can I do, short-term, to get the unit working again? I'll try and keep this updated if it pulls the magical "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm working just fine now!" maneouvre again. When I get off work in the morning, I'm apt to take this into the Genius Bar again, as I now have a trend of this happening. It may also be possible that this is a genuinely defective unit, as it was a refurb, which means someone returned it to Apple (probably for the same reason).
Anyway, help where you can, moral support where you can't. Or, if you like, mock my plight and make pithy commentary about how I'm out of luck

And yet some more information:
I wanted to test something. Namely, was the computer "on" or not? So I inserted a blank DVD. The slot-loading machinery accepted it just fine. However, pushing the "eject" button does nothing.
The only conclusion I seem to be able to draw is that the computer is still in sleep state (does a sleeping Mac allow DVD's to be inserted? I don't know!). If that is indeed the case, then I have no idea how to wake it up; the power button does nothing (except holding it down until the unit shuts off), and opening/closing the lid has no effect.

I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen. The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.
Reset Preferences
Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop

Lighting Effects filter in PS (CS6; 64-bit) crashes program

This is a Win7 64-bit OS, new CS6 installation with all updates applied/installed.
Use of Lighting Effects rendering filter in PhotoShop (CS6, both 64- and 32-bit versions) causes PS to crash.

I did make some suggestions, which you appear to have only dabbled with... Did you try Basic mode? Did you try checking/unchecking all the various settings in all the combinations? Be exhaustive. You feel your system is advanced, I get that, but you're looking to isolate a problem here.
I'm not as familiar with nVidia as I am with ATI, but have you investigated the various settings their driver UI provides?
I'm not saying there's a definite fix in there, but In doing these things you might:
Discover a combination of settings as a workaround that makes it work acceptably for you.
Be able to tell Adobe or nVidia exactly what to look for if they want to investigate it further.
By the way, have you contacted nVidia and let them know Photoshop is crashing when it tries to use their GPU for Lighting Effects?
Lastly, some folks have found that fully uninstalling the display driver, cleaning up any remnants of it and prior display drivers that may still be laying around, and installing the latest driver sometimes helps. Display driver writers are apparently not all that good at writing installers.
I never had this issue with CS4... Only CS6
People sometimes like to say that kind of thing, but (and I'm sorry to be blunt): So what?
This is an entirely new program with new, different, and greater demands of your computer system. It's using more and different features of your GPU than any prior version.
I can only assure you that it does work okay for some others. I have had no problems with Lighting Effects myself. But you should know that since Photoshop CS6 first came out I *HAVE* had crashes while trying to do 3D modeling work. At least some of those were caused by the (then current) ATI display drivers. I (and others) contacted ATI and described the problems, and their subsequent driver versions have gotten more stable. Their current version seems to work rather well with Photoshop CS6. My point is that things can get better. Hang in there.

Need help with Lighting Effects; CS3

So, let's say that you were trying to work out some customization using the Lighting effects under: Filter > Render > Lighting Effects.
I understand that there is a very specific file that has the Styles.
Any chance I can fix this problem?

If you mean that they're grayed out then that's because you're not in RGB color mode with 8bits/channel. If you mean that the filters simply don't show up in the Filters menu then they're probably hidden in which case go to Edit->Menus and make sure that the Set dropdown is set to Photoshop Defaults (switching to the Basic workspace changes the menus to the Basic set that hides a lot of menu items)

JavaFx Lighting Effects : When to Use which ???

Hi,
I know that this question in more design oriented than technical,
but still i'm posting this question in this forum .
I wanted to start off with javaFx lighting effects and i have found very good examples online .
I have seen the implementation of lighting effects at:
[http://code-better.com/javafx/lighting|http://code-better.com/javafx/lighting]
and [http://jfxstudio.wordpress.com/2009/03/18/javafx-light-effect/|http://jfxstudio.wordpress.com/2009/03/18/javafx-light-effect/]
These applications just gave us the ability to configure the lighting options .
I also have found a file effects.fx online and in that i see that
effect: Lighting{
light: DistantLight{azimuth: 90}
} // to be used to make a button look pressed
and
effect: Lighting{
light: DistantLight{azimuth: 270}
} // to be used to make a button look upbeat .
But this hasn't worked for me in few scenarios .
For example i have tried to apply these 90 and 270 distant light effects
to buttons made of various gradients and for some it seemed to have worked and
for some it doesn't seem to have worked .
I think we will have to change the color of distant light for that .
Could any one point me to a guide or online site or some tips
that will help be in understanding which effect to use when and which color
should i use for the lighting effect and other stuff .
It would be of great help for me .
Thanks a lot .
bye

Hi JavaFx Duo,
Thanks for your reply .
Actually I wanted to find out info like how to make an image ( or button of any gradient )
look gone inside or look up ( in a measurable way, i mean depth or height below/over the surface )
using lighting effects . And how does the azimuthal angle
and the color of the light source have an effect on it .
Earlier i have posted a forum in which Phi Lho has answered me
on how to make the button text look gone down and i can try to achieve
that by trying similar here .
[http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10844582&#10844582|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10844582&#10844582]
But i thought of making use of the lighting effects and i want to know if any guide or tutorial
is available which describes the lighting effect with various Colors
and angles and when to use distant light/point light and spot light effects .
I would also like to know a few practical implementations
of these effects in javaFx ( i.e as i have posted earlier 90-for making it look deep and 270 for looking elevated
and such stuff ............................. ) by varying the angle and Color ,
So that i can use them in my applications rather than trying various combination
each time .
Thanks

How to create this lighting effect in Premiere Pro or After Effects?

Hey,
I'm a student and premiere beginner and I'm trying to make my first video in premiere. In this video, Drawing Channing Tatum - YouTube , you will see that lighting effects in the first 10 seconds. How can i create this?
I thank you so much!
Marie

That is stock footage of the ends of a film roll exposed to light during the loading process that is simply laid over the video with the add or screen blend mode applied. You can search for "film damage" stock footage and find something that would work from stock footage houses. You can fake your own with shape layers, blurs and opacity animations using the same add or screen blend mode. It's just much harder to get the film damage to look "real."
Here's what my google search turned up as the first link to stock footage. I have no relationship with this company and have never used their footage.

You could also just get your smart phone close to a lightbulb, make sure it's out of focus and then move it around.

Lighting effects ellipse not shown in CS6

MI am using CS6 Extended on an HP dv7 Pavillion running Windows 7 Ultimate. It is a 64bit system with 6GB of RAM. Display is NVIDIA GeForce GT230M.
I am trying to uses the Filter>Render>Lighting Effects feature. I can get to the option toolbar and properties panel (which also results in workspace changing from Essential (or whatever) to the Lighting Effects workspace. What doesn't happend is that the ellipse doesn't show up that allows control of the lighting (e.g. no ellipse, no handles, nothing to see to make adjustments). I've seen this issue come up in some other threads but it doesn't appear to have been solved as recently as 9/24/2013. The other thing that happens is that I get stuck at that point, i.e., I can't change workspace, can't delete history, etc. The only way out is to close the file, which then asks if I want to apply effects which I say no to since I didn't specify any, then cancel the close.
I've adjusted the Edit>Preferences>Performance settings so that the Cache is now 6 instead of 4.
I'm taking a class and need to use this feature as part of an assignment. Any help would be appreciated.

PXI 8176 Controller Display Blanks Out.

The Monitor goes on standby (blanks out) randomly while my computer is still on. I've narrowed the problem down to the controller. I just want to know what options I have. Is there a part in the controller itself that I can replace?

I face the same problem with PXI 8196. The whole system hangs up but power supply still ok. HD LED also not lights up.

My 6070 navigation display blanks out after 5 seconds. Not enough for a 'silver surfer' I am not able to find the adjustment, and it is not in the handbook. Can anyone help. Many thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A reply from service would indicate this a feature of the 6070, back light being turned off. The time out cannot be altered. This feature is unsatisfactory as it times out too soon for slow fingers!

Macbook a1181 display blanks out replaced the lcd inverter still blanking out

Replaced inverter still blanking out.

OK--so this is an original MBP. You are in the late 2008-early 2009 section of the forum, so I am going to request that your post be relocated to the original MBP section.
Have you tried an external display? If you get good graphics on an external, it will be further conformation that the graphics chip is OK.
I am puzzled as to why the original display worked, but two separate replacements did not. I have heard of the brightness indicator getting stuck all the way to the left, so that the display remains black. Can you see the desktop at all by shining a bright light through the apple? If so, maybe you could go to System preferences>Desktop and see if the slider is stuck, and if so, move it to the right.
Good luck!
