Lighting Effects -- Not Working

I am having trouble with the Lighting Effects in Photoshop CS6. I can get a lighting effectt, but in the preview window, I cannot move the light (although I can select it), and there are no control options.
I am running CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit
I have looked through the discussion site and done everything suggested -- Adobe is up-to-date, as is my graphics card; I have changed the "Drawing Mode" from Basic to Normal to Advanced. (I do note that since I updated the Video Driver, the OpenCL option is now greyed-out. I'm not sure why.) I have copies of the relevant System Info below. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.

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?

Lighting effect not working for photoshop CC 2014

hello there i can not seem to get the lighting effects working in Photoshop cc 2014 i updated it and also made sure my graphic driver was updated and also made sure that it was strong enough to run it and it is so now i'm just confused why its not working.
not sure what to do from here need to get some textures done and this does not help and couldn't find anwsers on the adobe contact us tab so came here.

I could repro this. Fix it by restarting Photoshop.
What happens is that when you toggled your graphics acceleration on without restarting Photoshop, it made Photoshop go coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs. (It happens.) Hopefully, someone from Adobe's staff will see this.

Lighting effects not working, 'Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)' with 4GB RAM?

Tried to use 'render/lighting effects' on 5 more or less new different laptops now. All kind of Window versions.
They all have at least 4GB RAM. The Graphic Card is compatible.
Layer to work on is RGB-Type.
It's all about Photoshop CC 2014, trial version.
When I go to 'Lighting effects' it says first:
'The 3D features require that 'Use Graphics Processor' is enabled in the Performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirements and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly.'
- I switched the 'Use Graphics Processor' on and off and restarted new - nothing happens.
- Video card is compatible.
Second it says:
''Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)'
- RAM on all the computers I tested it with is at least 4GB
Please help!

We would need to know the amount of Video ram you have. If it is above 512 MB, then check for driver updates.
Windows OS
Click Start.
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.
On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.
Once you know the kind of graphics card you have, visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest driver. Here are links for downloading drivers from the most common graphics card manufacturers:

Walkman beat light effect not working when throw is activated

When I connect my phone to a bluetooth receiver and play music via walkman the light effects aren't working, only when I pause or change the track. It doesn't really disturb me but I'd like to know if there is a possibility of changing it or if it is what it is. Thanks

having same problem ...

Render lighting effects not working properly

I seem to be having a problem with the 'Render > Lighting Effects' feature. It works, but not the first time I use it. I can go in, set the controls how I'd like them, and click OK to apply. The effects will remain for about 5 to 10 seconds, and then it will revert to the image I had before the lighting effects were applied. If I repeat the process a second time, the effects will remain in place.
I'm using CS6 via Adobe Creative Suite on a Windows 7 operating system. Any ideas?

Don't really understand what you are saying.
Without the ability to change the size of the oval the lighting effect will always be the same size. How can I get the buttons to appear? I have just watched several video tutorial on the lighting effects in CS6 and the buttons were showing in all of these and it was demonstrated how to change the size of the effect by using them.

Lighting Effect Not Working Correctly?

I recently purchased and downloaded the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. When I try to apply the lighting effect to my photos, it doesn't give me any options like the elements 6 did, and I was wondering how to fix this.

If your using the effects panel instead of the filter menu, then in order for filter dialogs to show, you need to check Automatically Show Filter Gallery

Lighting effects not showing up in CS5

This plug-in is not showing up on both CS5 and CS 5.1 running on a MAC OSX 10.6.7 Italian system. I have tried both from the Italian versions of PS and even from one new version in English of PS5.1 and it isn't to be found under the menu "rendering" or enywhere else. I see that it is in the plug.in folder and the folder of lighting effects is there as well, but it just doesn't show up. Any ideas about this bug? I've tried it on 3 different computers!

As far as i know, the lighting effects filter only works in the 32 bit version of
photoshop cs5/5.1 on a mac system.

There is also a photoshop macintosh forum (you posted in the photoshop elements forum)
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_macintosh
Added: If you have the extended version of cs5, you might experiment using 3d lights
for lighting effects, which works in the 64 bit version of cs5. Turn your layer into a
3d postcard and use the 3d lights for various lighting effects.

PhotoShop CS6 - Lighting Effects Not showing

I know the question sounds like the ones you get all the time but in PhotoShop cs6 I can access the filter>render>lighting effects but when I click the lighting effect tab nothing shows and when I watch a tutorial and people open filter>render>lighting effects a adjustable thing appears on the layer which they can edit but I can not do this. Any help?

I had exactly the same problem and here is the answer: update the driver for your video card. And when you update, go to the vendor website! (i.e. the vendor of the particular video card you have). If you don't know what kind of video card you have, use the commands: Control Panel/System/Device Manager, then double-click on "Display Adapter". It will display a tab called "Driver", which will give you the date of your current driver. If it is anything older than maybe a year, go to the vendor site and download the appropriate driver. My download was about 260MB in size. It also seemed to improve my screen resolution a little at the same time.
But there is more! Photoshop CC uses two things called OpenGl and OpenCL. I have no idea what they are, BUT, I think both of them must be selected in order for Lighting Effects to work on Photoshop CC. And where do you select these things? Edit/Preferences/Performance
And finally, check the box "Use Graphics Processor", then click on "Advanced Settings". Under Advanced Settings you will see
And you guessed it! Click on the box "Use OpenCL". I have no idea if the 30 bit display box should be checked - I was trying everything at one point.
Anyway, it seems like Adobe has adopted new technology somewhere along the way, such technology not being included in video drivers just a few years old. Personally, I think Adobe should have made more of an effort to highlight this problem and provide an easier-to-figure-out solution.
Hope this helps!

Hello my battery power has a x on it and the lights are not working and its making a noise - Please assist

Hello my battery power has a x on it and the lights are not working and its making a noise - Please assist

The Battery icon with the "X" indicates that your computer does not detect a battery and is operating on electrical power from AC since your computer is plugged in. If your battery is installed but not detected that indicates a problem: 1. the battery is dead; 2. the battery connector is not functioning properly. You mention that there is no response from the indicator lights so it could be either of the two possibilities. The noise is not a good sign. Best to shut it down safely while you can to prevent any possibility of damage and get it to an Apple Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to discover the nature of the problem

Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, you may have to take the MBP to the Apple Store to have it checked.
