Photoshop CS5 Lighting Effects

I accidentally deleted the “Five Lights Up” Style. How can I restore it to the Style list in the program? “Five Lights Up” is still included in the Photoshop/Plug-ins/Filters/Lighting Style folder. I have a backup of the C drive before deleting. Is there a file that can be replaced from the backup?

I have sorted it out thanks to your questions:
I have both Photoshop installed, 32 bit and 64 bit
I always use the 32 bit version and  that where the Style got deleted from the list in the program
when checking in the plug-ins/Lighting Style folder I was checking in the 64 bit files and of course the Style was included.
now checking in the the plug-ins/Lighting Style folder in the 32 bit files, sure enough the Style is missing. I have replaced it and all is fine. Thank you very much
BTW that Delete button on the program is dangerous...

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Photoshop CS lighting effects rendering malfunction

    You know I am really angry with Adobe regarding this issue. I have spent hours on the phone with them and they have no clue what they are doing it would seem. I have lost a client job because of this.
    If you have this issue please let me know:
    Try to render lighting effects in your image and you cannot manipulate your lights as in scaling and moving them. You will see the light but cannot do a damn thing with it.
    I spent 2 hours online with Adobe tech support which involved them taking remote control of my machine. New account was made in Windows and Photoshop launched under that account which solved it temporarily. Then it was decided to throw out all my ADOBE preferences under may account which worked until today when I started working again only to find out the problem is back.
    I am just completely dissapointed now with Adobe in general. If they cant fix their own software what is a user to do.
    Can anyone help with this issue from experience? Please do not guess - I am need an actual permanent solution.

  • 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?

  • Photoshop cs5 lighting filter

    Avec la version cs5, je n'ai plus l'effet éclairage dans Filtre>rendu.. où est-ce que je pourrai télécharger ce filtre ou est-ce qu'il y aurait une sorte de remplaçant à ce filtre dans la version cs5?

    Hi,
    …Do not have the checkbox above "Locked" that says "Open in 32 bit". Mine says "Shared Folder."
    China,
    It sounds like you are selecting the Photoshop folder in the Finder.  You need to highlight the Photoshop application icon, not the folder that contains it.

    It is.  Absolutely identical, except for the price.

    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.

  • Lighting effects photoshop CS5

    Have they gone... or have hte been moved?
    I can't find them anywhere.

    For those of us who do not know (I didn't) how to tun on 32 bit addressing for the application...
    •Quit Photoshop if you have it open...
    •Find the Photoshop CS5 application icon
    • Right click on it and select "GET INFO".
    When the Information window opens you need to tick the box that says "Open in 32-bit mode"
    •Close the information window.
    •Re launch photoshop
    •As you probably already know, this filter only works in RGB mode
    You're ready...

  • 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)

    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.

  • Where is lighting effects in CS5?

    Hi,
    Recently I upgraded to Photoshop CS5 on my iMac. When I went tonight to select "lighting effects" under "filter" and "render", I noticed it is not there. Where is it?
    thanks,
    DavinS06

    somethings were left behind in CS5

  • No Lighting Effects under Render in CS5?

    I just went to look for my lighting effects under their usual location, under the Filters->>Render menu, and they're not there! I've tried re-installing, to no avail.
    What am I doing wrong?

    nm, found it:
    Run Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS as a 32-bit application:
    Select the Adobe Photoshop CS5 application file, installed by default in the Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder.
    Choose File > Get Info, and select Open in 32 Bit Mode.
    Deselect this option to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode.

  • Lighting Effects crashed the Photoshop

    Hey, all the experts, I have installed Photoshop CS5.5 and upgraded to CS6 recently, and I have found out I can't use the Lighting effects. Everytime I choose Lighting effects, the Photoshop seems hang and I need to force quit the application. Any ideas how could I fix it. I am running with Windows 7 and I have tried to re-install the CS6 but couldn't fix the problem. I did not have this problem while I was using CS5.5.

    Thanks for your respond. Just for your information, I am running with ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330, do I need to upgrade the driver? Because I have tried out from the Windows Device Manager, and it said the driver is up to date. Any other method I could it try out to update my driver?
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • I have an issue using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014

    Hello everyone,
    I am having issues using Lighting Effects in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. I created a duplicate layer that I want to do the effects on, converted it to a smart object and on that same layer went to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects  to get to the Lighting Effects screen. When adjusting the parameters (drag/reshape the lights) for either the spotlight or point light, I don't see any changes. Can someone tell me what could be the issue or if I'm doing the steps wrong to apply the effects?
    Here are my specs:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.140303-2144)
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600S CPU @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
    Memory: 8192MB RAM
    Available OS Memory: 8174MB RAM
    Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6570   
    Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.
    Display Memory: 743 MB
    Dedicated Memory: 1008 MB
    Shared Memory: 3831 MB 

    I am experiencing flickering issues as well. However my issues are with the Fast Color Corrector and the Three Way Color Corrector. It seems as if the color correction tools are causing intermittent flickering on some people's systems.
    Additionally when I converted some old PPCC 7.2.2 projects which had the Three Way Color Corrector applied, some clips in sequences would come up as a green screen in the program monitor. If I turned the TWCC off the footage would display correctly in the program window. If I turn the TWCC back on it would display the green screen again.
    I haven't found a solution to the flickering but to solve the green screen issue I have to remove the effect, then re apply it. I guess for whatever reason, the 2014 version of PP has issues with 7.2.2 projects where the TWCC was applied.
    I'm hoping Adobe will address this soon with an update for the various bugs that have been reported.

  • Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

    I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
    Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

    Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions. 
    However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box.  If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette.  Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box.  Then use menu File>Save.  Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.
