Lighting Effects opens, but no icons/control

When I open lighting effects in CS6, there are none of the resizing/repositioning icons [controls, widgets, whatever you want to call them] that I see in all the tutorials (and remember from previous versions of Photoshop). The Lighting Effects Properties window opens on the right, but no amount of fiddling produces any change in the image. Even if I choose a preset, my image is still just a useless darkened version of its former self (and still no icons appear).
BTW, I am running Windows 7 on a quad core laptop with a supported video card (Radeon HD 6520G), so this problem should have nothing to do with that.
Any ideas?

CS6 Lighting Effects requires a video GPU you may want to check your GPU settings. The screen should look something like this.

I have just rearranged my app icons on my iPad. I put one at the very end of the last page and an icon disappeared to make room for it. Where has it gone, can I get it back. The app is still in my App Store and can open but no icon on my iPad or is my e

How do I re-estate an app icon that has disappeared from the very last page of my icons because I in effect, pushed it away?

Thanks for your help
You are correct, in settings I can gain access to my apparent.
What I went on to do was "reset" my app screen in settings and all my apps came back on the home pages.
I understand that we only have twelve home pages but you can make files that contain many files on the home page by superimposing file icons while in file moving mode.
Thanks so much for your help
George

When downloading an app, it goes to 'Open' but no icon appears on home screen. In storage it's name is showing "null". I have lots of memory available.

Any ideas on what the problem is and how can I fix?

Which app icon is missing?
Are you sure it wasn't moved?
Have you checked on another page or in folders?
Does it show in spotlight search? (Swipe down from the center if the screen)
Check your restrictions:
Settings > General > Restrictions
You can also try resetting your Home Screen Layout:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
Delete it:
Settings > General > Usage > select the app > Delete
and redownload:
Open the App Store > Updates > Purchased

Can't control lighting effects in PS CC

I am running both PS CC and CS6 on my mac mini (late 2012, 2.3 i7, 16 GB ram). When I try to use the lighting effects filter on CC, it opens, and all the sliders in the properties box work, but without the tools to point and modify the light source. On CS6, lighting effects opens with the expected oval shaped tools and the intensity adjuster. I am assuming that it is not the Mac-mini, as it handles both versions, CC and CS6, without issues except for this. Is this a bug in CC? I have searched and found nothing to this effect. I am assuming the video capabilities are adequate as the lighting effects option is not greyed out in either version. Also, I have made sure the image I am working on is in 8 bit mode.

Hi Bobmepp, I’m having the exact same problem you describe on the PC version of CC. Did you get to the bottom of this?
For clarity i have included some other issues with the lighting effect:
- no tools to pinpoint light source
- seemingly no way to exit from the lighting effects window without restarting PS and resetting the workspace
Here's a pic to demonstrate my issue:

Lighting effects - no controls on a Mac

Namaste!
I've searched through all the similar posts I could find - each pretty much addresses a Windows box or never completes the thread, so I've not found an answer.
'09 iMac 24, CS6 (just updated), Software Update reports no needed updates (relative to the graphics card), etc.
When attempting to set up a lighting effect, the spot light displays but without control handles.
View->Extras is enabled (and toggling didn't help). Graphics card option was set to Basic, tried the others, no joy - and yes, the use graphics card option is also checked.
Any thoughts on what else could be causing the issue?
Thanks!

Could be a graphics driver problem/limitation. The lights handles are OK in Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 on my OS X 10.6.8 machine with NVIDIA GeForce 320M.
Which version of Photoshop is revealed by command Photoshop > About Photoshop... ?
What graphics card and which version of OS X do you have?
Some older threads that you could check:

Render Lighting Effects Filter Crashing PS CS4 on only Mac Pro Towers...8 Cores!!!

I just recently received a brand new Apple 8 core 2.93Ghz Mac Pro tower and also had the previous 3.33Ghz 8 core with the same exact issue. I have 16GB of memory on this tower and my last tower had 16GB as well. Everytime I run the render lighting effects filter on certain files in PS it hangs up and then crashes on me. I know it is not the files because they work on my Macbook Pro's, my iMac, and have tested them on many other computers other than the Mac Pro tower's at the Apple Retail Store out by me. I ran the same files on their new Mac Pro and it crashed just like it did on my two towers, but was very random and not file specific. Some that crashed on mine opened on theirs and vice versa. I have worked with the Adobe top techs troubleshooting this and supposedly eliminated that it could be a preference related issue, permissions related issue, file issue, and have done many things like disabling Open GL, resetting prefs, reinstalling, trying in new user, in Rosetta, in safe mode, in the root user, etc...super thorough testing and it still happens. Both Apple and Adobe feel that it must be something going on with the Mac Pro tower, PS, and possibly how the graphics card interacts and renders the filter. Actually I opened these files in my PS CS3 and it rendering the lighting effects filter, but was unable to run the filter on the entire image and actually left a 1/4 inch of the bottom of the image untouched which was completely bizarre. I have screenshots and console logs too if someone wants to see. I am REALLY curious to hear if anyone else has run into this problem or if they try what happens. Thanks and curious to hear some input. Regards, Anthony
Here are three links to the files...the first one is the file that is crashing my CS4 when running filter>render>lighting effects. The second is what it did to my file after running that same file in CS3, and the last is what the preview dialog box showed in CS3 when not running the filter on the entire image.

Hey there Bryan...I actually just talked with a level 2 Apple product specialist today after generating a case with Apple and he brought this to Apple Engineers and apparently since it is third party...meaning Adobe....it first has to be documented with Adobe after they look into the problem and then Adobe apparently will or should work together with Apple to help find a solution to the problem. This problem is very easy to reproduce on any 8 core Mac Pro tower and am hoping more people use the darn render lighting effects filter and get on everyone's case. I also had someone I know who is a Photoshop guru...Jim DiVitale test it on his 8 core in his photo studio and he was able to get his PS CS4 to crash like a bomb too. There is obviously something going on that needs to be looked at hopefully MUCH sooner than later so let's see what comes out of this. It really does suck because this is a filter that I actually do use in my workflow quite often. I just know that before I even attempt to run this filter I make absolutely certain I save everything and then hit that darn OK button. Keep on them and try to bring as much attention to this issue as possible so we can come to a resolution fast! @nthony

How do I get Lighter Effects work space?

I am having problems with Lighter Effects. I can't seem to get it to open its work space. I go into Filters, Render Lighter Effects and click on it. When I do, it blinks the properties and then adds a layer naming it Lighter Effects. But it never opens the work space. It only sometimes opens up the Lighter Effect properties. And without the work space, I can't do anything with the properties anyway.
I need a way to fix this so the Lighter Effect work space appears when I click on the Lighter Effects in the Filter Render. I have just re-installed and updated Photoshop CC 2014, if that helps those out there helping people like me who are not experts at Photoshop.

You can find the system requirements by clicking on the hyperlink in my previous post.
Re: 3D, you should be able to, for example, open a 3D model via 3D > New 3D Layer from File. Or you could select a normal 2D layer and go to 3D > New Mesh from Layer. If you can't do this your video card does not meet system requirements or the driver may need to be updated.
If your Lighting Filter is working properly your window should look something like this:

No Lighting Effects filter?

Hey I'm trying to use the lighting effects filter but it doesn't appear to be on the menu..I'm using CS5 on Mac OS X 10.6.8
I've tried opening a new document in 32bit mode and it doesn't seem to make a difference..I read that CS5 automatically installs in 64bit mode
so I shouldn't need to modify anything?
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Lighting effects filter not available on PScc - using windows 8.1 with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card

I have Photoshop cc and Lightroom 5.5. My computer runs windows 8.1, 64 bit, with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card.
I am trying to use the lighting effects filter, but it is grayed out so I cannot select it.
Can you tell me what I need to change in order to use the lighting effects filter?

This is the Lightroom forum. I don't use the lighting effects very often in Photoshop. But if I recall correctly, it will only work on 8-bit images.

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?

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.

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
