Photoshop CS5 already in 32-bit mode; Lighting Effects filter not showing in the Filter Menu

Photoshop CS5 already in 32-bit mode; Lighting Effects filter not showing in the FIlter Menu. Please help!?

Doesn't a Mac have a definitive way to check to see whether an application is running in 64 bit mode or 32?  Some kind of process manager or something?  22 posts have gone by and the original poster doesn't yet seem convinced that it is actually running in 64 bit mode.
I don't know why there has been doubt since post #12 where I explained that Ps must be running in 64-bit mode when more than 2100 MB RAM is reported in Preferences.
Anyway, here's a screenshot of Activity Monitor showing CS6 in 64-bit mode and CS5.1 in 32-bit mode.

  • Will Photoshop CS5 run in 32-bit mode in OS x 10.8

    I have a Photoshop plugin that only runs in 32-bit mode. So when I upgraded to CS6 I've kept CS5 and launch it in 32-bit mode when I want to use the plugin. Will I be able to do this when OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is released?

    markerline is correct.
    At a minimum, you'll want to at least ask in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for Adobe Contribute which is unrelated to your post. Good luck.

  • 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?

  • How to launch Photoshop CS5 in either 32 bit or 64 bit mode

    Some of my plugins - (notibly Nik Viveza & Silver Effects Pro) only run in 32bit mode at present.   I would rather work in 64bit (I think - hard to tell if I'm getting any real benefit - will have to try some benchmarks)  I work with large files 100mb to 460mb "raw"   which can hit 2-3GB after a bit of photoshop work. 
    So - I'd like to have the option of launching Photoshop CS5 in either 64 bit mode or 32 bit mode, without having to drop out to finder to switch the mode back and forth.
    I've tried making a copy and setting one to 32 bit mode (so I have Photoshop 64.app and Photoshop 32.app) which sort of works but it requires that I use up the ONE AND ONLY external editor setup  - which makes launching Photomatics, AutoPano Pro, and Helicon Focus a bit more difficult (not that it wasn't already do the the paucity of external editor setups.   It has another issue - every time I change from one to the other something (I suspect OS X 10.6) tells me the path has changed and do I want to update?  I have no idea what that's doing or why.   Another issue is that I get what appear to be random failures to lauch the edit - almost never works if Photoshop isn't running - sometimes doesn't work even if it is.
    So:
    Lightroom needs more External Editor Setups
    Photoshop needs a command line option from Lightroom to launch in 32bit mode or 64bit mode.
    Need more reliable launch of editor from Lightroom.
    If I'm missing a possible solution please let me know

    Vince,
    You can have as many External Editors as you want. It isn't very intuitive, but you can hit the Choose button again, choose an application, and then use the "Preset:" dropdown to "Save Current Settings as New Preset..."
    All your presets will show up in the "Edit in" context menu.

  • Am using Photoshop Cs5 12.0 32 bit.. ma os iz windows 7 ultimate... now I have noticed that ma 3d panel in ma ps is disappeared.. Plz help me.....

    Am using Photoshop Cs5 12.0 32 bit.. ma os iz windows 7 ultimate... now I have noticed that ma 3d panel in ma ps is disappeared.. Plz help me.....

    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the applications.  When we purchased the new computer it was set up from scratch, but as I said the old user profile was transferred.  The original problems of photoshop freezing and the system locking up continued, and so everything was set up again from scratch I believe.
    Also, I may have been unclear as to my definition of crashing.  It was freezing everything previously, and then two days ago, just the photoshop program started "quitting unexpectedly" on opening, each and every time I tried to use it. 
    The new user profile worked for the majority of today, but froze the screen during a photoshop distort transform and I was unable to do anything, but switch the machine off at the back and reboot. (this is what was happening prior to me receiving the error report I copied onto the original post).  I can only presume it is going down the same route and will be doing the above again once I am using it at full pace again. 
    The old user profile is still on the computer, and on the new user profile we have not included the Outlook software as we weren't sure whether this may be affecting it, as the problems have become increasing worse since this has been on computer.
    Because everything has been ongoing and on two machines, it is starting to become very unclear as to whether it is a hardware, software/ operating system problem, or network issue.  The computer has also been configured to run windows bootcamp.
    I have been passing on the information as it is coming in, and any more ideas will be gratefully received.  I have already been told we can return the original RAM into the computer next week, to see if this helps, and I may try to download CS5 from the Adobe website, rather than using the CD's as it was suggested that this may help??!  Either way I am unable to carry out any of my work until this resolved so I am willing to try any solutions!
    Thanks

  • Photoshop CS5 Colour changes toggling screen modes

    Hi.
    I have recently started encountering a problem with a colour shift in Photoshop CS5 when toggling between screen modes (Full screen and normal window) My setup is a mid-2010 MacBook Pro with an Eizo CG243W Connected to the display port. Both screens are calibrated. While using the MacBook Pro as a seconddary display, the image on the external Eizo changes colour depending on which screen mode I set in PS. In normal Window mode the colours appear correct, but changing to Fullscreen alters the colours (They become a lot more muted and move towards a yellow/green tint) Trying the same on the MacBook Pro screen (with the Eizo connected) produces the opposite result, in normal window mode the colours become over saturated (a vivid red tint), but in full screen mode appear normal.
    This started happening after upgrading to OSX 10.8.3 (From OSX 10.6.x) I have tried various suggested workarouds (such as altering OpenGL settings in PS) to no avail. I therefore humbly ask this community for any advice or suggestions you might have.

    That can be a good workaround, but be aware that some things won't work...  For example, you won't be able to see a preview of your brush hardness using the Alt-right mouse button brush gestures.  And of course zoom won't be smooth, and pans won't flip with inertia (big whoop).  If you have Extended you may not find the 3D features as usable.
    What I'd do if I were you is do some searches for people using your specific video card and see if any of them have found any older drivers that work better.  Then bug nVidia to fix their drivers.
    Alternatively, a really fine video card with huge speed and memory can be had nowadays for a hundred bucks.

  • Is the Lighting Effects Filter still 32-bit in CS6?

    In Photoshop CS4 and CS5, it's a real PIA to have to restart PS in 32-bit mode in order to use the Lighting Effects filter (FILTER>RENDER>LIGHTING EFFECTS). Has this been addressed in CS6? (Still looking for reasons to upgrade.) Thanks.

    See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/979969
    It focuses on GPU requirements and troubleshooting. The Lighting Effects Gallery depends on the right graphics card and drivers.
    Run throught the troubleshooting steps first in order to see what needs to be done.

  • Ps CS6 Problem: Lighting Effects filter quantises 16-bit height-map to 8-bit in a 16-bit document

    I've edited this message: one complaint has been removed - it was my mistake - conroy.
    Photoshop 13.0.1
    OS X 10.6.8
    16 bits per channel RGB mode.
    The Lighting Effects filter quantises the optional height-map channel to 8 bits, which can result in a very obvious terraced-slopes appearance and moiré.
    (Adobe, please do not simply reply with "you should be using 13.0.4" unless that actually fixes the problem.)

    Alpha channels are 16-bit in a 16-bit per channel document. As Christoph said, selections are limited to 8-bit, so if you make a channel from a selection then that channel will have 8-bit quantisation.
    Here is an example of Lighting Effects filter using a channel containing a 16-bit radial gradient as a height-map, and where the filter is quantising the height values to 8-bit.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop cc lighting effects do not seem to work

    I am trying to put spotlight on area in photo but from render - lighting effects all that happens is my workspace changes on the right to "lighting effects" but nothing works and I have to close this side and shut down photoshop just to go back to a normal "essential" workspace. == what is the problem?

    I'm having the same issue as well. Just started using CC tonight on both my home and work Macs. My home computer is a late 2006 MacPro, 6GB RAM, 2.66ghz and the work computer is 2013 MacPro with way more guts in it. Photoshop at home runs terribly slow all together but I did manage to see some slight improvement when I switched off "Use Graphics Processor" in the Preferences panel (Prefs > Performance) but this also turns off the Lighting effects filter. I remote logged in to my work Mac and using the same file (saved in the cloud), applied the lighting filter and it worked perfectly. All that to say, I'm pretty certain is a graphics processor/memory issue more than it being a CC issue. At home, the filter attempts to work, stops, and the only thing left is the properties panel like the effect is active.
    Looks like I need some upgrades.
    Hope this helps!

    @I run a Windows 8.1 -  Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
    If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
    I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
    Ram available = 1588 MB
    Range = 873 -1143 MB
    Recommended Photoshop usage range =  857  however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
    The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

    Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins.  They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

  • My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

    Any ideas?

    My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

  • Photoshop CS6 lighting effects filter--where are the handles?

    I have read all the previous posts about this, and taken all steps. Running WIn7, 64 bit, my video card is 512Mb, drivers are up to date, PS is up to date, I restarted and stil no handles appear in the Lighting Effects filter.

    Does "all steps" include ensuring 'View > Show > 3D Lights' is enabled and 'View > Extras' is enabled when the Lighting Effects filter is active?

  • CS6  Non-responsive when using Light effect filter in Photoshop

    Win 7 OS. I am trying to use the light effect filter and when I select it photoshop gets locked up and won't respond until I end task in task manager (it says photoshop not responding in task manager). Is there a fix for this? I did all of my updates and it still happens. I have homework to do, I need to fix this issue. Any help is appreciated,
    Thank you

    Every time I try and use lighting effect, on my Win 7, CS6 it crashes. I at least get to use it, but when I click "ok" for the changes to take place, "Adobe has stopped working" and just crashes.
    I looked into my Graphics Card drivers update... (AMD RADEON hd 6450) and on the site, I chose a very new update for a catalyst... blah blah. Which gave me this new control panel specific with this new driver update. However, once I downloaded it, restarted (for s & g's) it doesn't show up in my graphics card properties... its the same driver as before. So this may not have anything to do with what help I need. Although, it has a new "control center" that I looked at and its all martian to me.
    Someone please help me to resolve this issue??!! I can give more information if needed.
