Lighting Effects Missing in PS CS6

I am using the trial version of Photoshop CS6 Extended on Windows. The lighting effects filter appears to be missing. When I go to the filter-->render menu, it is not there. I have gone into the edit-->preferences-->perfomance menu and selected Use Graphics Processor, however the lighting effects filter is still not present. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get the filter? Thank you.

Hi,
If you are using Windows XP, then it is expected for that menu item to be missing. We do provide the ability to download an optional LIghting Effects plug-in that will work for both 32-bit anf 64-bit Ps CS6. However, it is the legacy interface and not the new interface which relies on OpenGL support.
You can find it here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/plug-ins-photoshop-cs61.html
After downloading the Win_Optional_Plugins, copy the Lighting Styles folder and LightingEffects.8BF plug-in to the \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-ins folder (copy from the 32-bit category to the 32-bit application directory, 64-bit to 64-bit where applicable).
Then on launch, you should see a menu item Filter> Render> Lighting Effects Classic...
regards,
steve

Lighting Effect not work in CS6*

Why Filter/ Render/ Lighting Effect not work in CS6?
It's not work only in CS6 Beta or in anything else :-/. It's Useful with me

A bit more information would be helpful. What is happening on your system when you go to lighting effects?
What system are you running on? What video card are you using? Are you using the most recent driver?
Do check our system FAQ as GPU is requried for lignting effects to work properly.
FAQ: What features use the GPU and how do I troubleshoot GPU issues?

CS6 Lighting Effects-Missing Control Handles / Crashing

I have read several other threads on this issue where the control overlays are missing when you go to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects. The "answer" from Adobe always seems to be, "updated your video card drivers."
I have a ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 560v for my Dell laptop running Windows 7 64bit. I have checked both through Dell and the ATI page and I have the latest drivers but Lighting Effects don't work properly. So now what?
I tried messing with the Preferences for Performance based on other posts. No luck. When I go to View>Extras>Show All I do then see the controls, however, the program freezes then crashes every time.
So is there a fix for this or do I have to go back to CS4 to do all my lighting effects?
Thanks.

Chris,
99% SOLVED! I think the problem here is that Photoshop users don't know the tech speak surrounding driver technology.
For instance when you started talking about AMD I was thinking, "I have an ATI driver, who is AMD?"
Also, quite frankly the AMD/ATI site is a very poor unser experience. I searched for my Dell Studio 1747 Laptop driver (ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 560v) several times and it found no drivers to update even though there is a whole page dedicated to that processor.
I never did find what you called a "driver cleaner" on the AMD site, however I stumbled (yes, stumbled after looking at tons of pages on AMD) on this AMD Driver Autodetect. I installed that and it recommended I replace my driver with AtI Mobility Radeon HD 4650. The process went smooth other than everything on my screen getting tiny for a bit. After the forced restart everything looked right.
I opened a Photoshop doc and tried Filter>Lighting Effects and still NO CONTROLS / HANDLES, however this time when I went to View>Extras>View All the handles showed like before BUT PHOTOSHOP NO LONGER CRASHES. I can now manipulate those controls/handles and use lighting effects.
I know this is not all of Adobe responsiblity, but I'm writing this post hoping anyone wlse who is frustrated will taked your advice, go to the AMD Driver Autodetect link and get it sorted out.
Thanks.

Using the lighting effects filter causes my CS6 to crash

Hi,
I read other threads with people have issues with their PC, but I am not able to follow them to correct my issues.
When I open a JPEG file from my mark iii into CS6, I try to start a new layer and then add the lighting effects filter. CS6 crashes (the little effects comes up on the screen and the little blue circle goes round and round). Nothing happens, but if I check task manager it says photoshop is not running.
I have windows, 16GB ram, and am using a small percent of my memory.
How do I see if I need to update my video card and how do I do that?
Thank you, Michele

Have you installed all the Photoshop updates?
And have you checked your GPU maker's website for updated video card drivers?

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.

Why has Lighting Effects stopped working in CS6 32 bit

I have just upgraded my graphics card and Lighting Effects has stopped working in 32 bit CS6. It never worked in 64 bit but it was OK in 32 bit until now. I press the effect and nothing happens. Can anyone help?

Hi,
If you revert the driver update do you get the Lighting Effects menu back? What is your OS, video card, and driver version? Do you have 13.0 or 13.1?
regards,
steve

Effects missing from Premiere CS6 export

Anyone had this issue with Premiere/After Effects CS6 ... Any effects I apply don't export when I export from Premiere. It worked fine on my other PC. Even after effects effects will export from after effects but are ignored when used as an embedded clip in Premiere. This includes third party and premiere effects. Fades and editing work, but not color grading. It shows in the previews and even in the media encoder window, but not in the final FLV or AVI.
No changes to operating system or 64 bit etc. And I'm using an nVidia GeForce 650 GTX card with 4000 MB ram on the card and 32000 MB ram on my motherboard.
GPU rendering isn't on since it's grayed out. Anyone know why, while we are on the topic.

What are you editing, and what are you exporting?

Cs6 lighting effects

cs6 lighting effects, down loaded plug in and did not get cs6 version, got lighting effects classic. How do I down load cs6 version?
windows 7 32 bit

The lightning effects should be there, but if you don't have Use Graphics Processor enabled under Edit>Preferences>Performance it should just be grayed out and not missing from Filter>Render>Lighting Effects menu.
The only download is for the lighting effects classic.
And you are using windows 7 and not xp?
Anyway i ran windows 8 32 bit briefly during the photoshop cs6 public beta and was able to use the lightning effects, so perhaps your video card driver needs updating from the graphics card makers website and not through windows updating.

Photoshop cs6 has no lighting effects filter

my new download photoshop cs6 has no lighting effects filter...or am I missing something on how to access it?

CS6 Lighting Effect Filter requires a Supported GPU card and open GL enabled. If you do not has such Lighting Effect will not be listed under Filter>Render>missing lighting effect is whet you will have on XP Grayed out Window 7 when GPU not enabled

Photoshop CS6 light widget missing

Has anyone experienced the light widget missing in the Lighting Effects filter in CS6?

First ensure 'View > Extras' is enabled. If it is and the LE widgets are not visible then you need to know that their visibility is controlled by 'View > Show > 3D Lights'.
Unless you're working in a 3D layer (which you won't be when using the LE filter, of course), the 3D Lights item is inaccessible in the 'View > Show' submenu, but the widgets visibility can always be controlled by 'View > Show > All' and 'View > Show > None'.
So either make a temporary 3D layer to access 'View > Show > 3D Lights' or use 'View > Show > All' then disable visibility of the extras which you don't want to see.
Hopefully, that's all that's needed to solve the problem.

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.

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/979969?tstart=0 I'm afraid that this videocard is not powerful enough to drive the new 3D-based Lighting effects:

Lighting Effects options not showing up for cs6 on 32-bit windows 7.

I've seen a similar question asked many times here but nothing seems to be working.
When I go to filter -> render -> lighting effects it seems to pop up some kind of options pane for maybe a quarter second while it's thinking, but once it's done all it does is create a duplicate layer called "lighting effects". I never actually see the options.
I've updated my drivers, and I just installed cs6 today, without importing any of my old settings from before.
Any idea what's going on?

Quote from »photoshop_reference.pdf«:
Lighting effects gallery
Get better performance and results with the new, 64-bit Lighting Effects gallery. A dedicated workspace provides on-canvas controls and previews that make it easier to visualize your lighting enhancements.

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?
