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.

  • Photoshop CS6 Startup Script Missing from Bridge CC

    Hi. After downloading a Photoshop CS6 update, Camera Raw unlinked from Bridge CS6. I have a full CC subscription so I downloaded Bridge CC and that solved the problem. Now Photoshop does not appear in the 'tools' menu. It is missing from the Startup Script list in preferences as well. Where can I find or download the photoshop script?
    On a mac, using Mavericks.
    Thank you!

    Bump. Any solutions yet?
    restart Bridge holding down option (Mac) or ctrl (Win) key ad from the menu choose reset references. Try again. BTW, the start up scripts from the needed applications for Bridge Tool menu are in Bridge preferences / Start up scripts, they should show and have a checkmark in front of them.

  • 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 CS6 Extended features missing

    I have a subscription. I have the Photoshop cs6. I need the extended part of Photshop CS6, but when I try to download it, it only downloads the regular CS6. How can i get the extended part of photoshop?
    Message was edited by: Brett N

    It sounds like you have a problem where your setup has become convinced you're not activated.
    Don't worry about that it's telling you it's Extended.  There is only one version of Photoshop.  The exact same program supports Standard and Extended operation; it makes run-time decisions whether to expose Extended functionality, which it will only do under one of two conditions:
    1.  You activated an Extended license (which you didn't).
    2.  It's not activated, which is the case when people are running the free trial.
    Since Photoshop lost its activation status (for reasons on your system I cannot guess at), it reverted to state 2 above.
    If you can get it re-activated - ideally permanently - then you will again have the Standard functionality.
    Unfortunately, there's not always an easy fix-all solution for activation issues.  It's possible something on your system changed, or maybe you had a problem with an earlier version of Photoshop that left some file(s) corrupted, or you changed some hardware, or any number of other things.  You should try what I suggested in the thread above (deactivating, then reactivating).
    If that does not work, or it will not accept your serial number, or it continues to fail, unfortunately you're going to have to call Adobe customer service.  Now and again some of the really helpful Adobe folks check in here and advise people, but I wouldn't count on it.

  • 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.

  • Photoshop CS6 Internal Font Missing!

    Help,  I was using Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4 trial, and it ended, but when it did now because I can't use it, somehow it must have removed or just had de-activated the photoshop internal system font.    All of my panels and menus etc except for the top windows-menus lists, but everything else is missing - blank.   I can't do anything in photoshop practically speaking.  Cannot see any layer names etc... normal type-tool and fonts loaded show up, but nothing in the program itself.   So I can't even enter numerical values for anything.   Illustrator, Indesign, Flash, Muse, Bridge, Premiere, After Effects - -- all of these are working just fine.... what is the specific font I need to re-install for Photoshop to display?  It is the same font that starts listing when you open the program on the splash logo where it is saying "loading fonts" etc and all that stuff, its just blank... so please whatever that font is I need to know and install it to my windows directory again so I can use photoshop.   Thanks!

    Hey,  got it fixed but I'm having trouble really nailing it down to why it happened... it has something to do with the arial font that photoshop uses and I must have not had it loaded...  I can only repeat it within the program by using Bitstream Fon Navigator to load all the arial fonts and when it does - it replaces whatever is loaded when photoshop starts - then the photoshop UI drops all internal fonts when you hover or switch panels etc...   but when I close and open again it works fine -- so it must have been that the Extensis trial ending dropped a key font that photoshop was looking for - and once I got it to find it again now it at least keeps it somewhere to load each time the program starts... hopefully this won't happen again but at least I know that I just have to load all arial fonts to get it back.   Thanks for the help either way, tried the resetting preferences but I couldn't even see any text in the window to reset it.

  • 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?

  • I am missing the add objects section from the fly out menu in Photoshop CS6. 3d workspace

    I am missing the "add objects" section from the fly out menu in Photoshop CS6. I am in the 3D workspace of Photoshop. "Scene" is highlighted and I have clicked on the little fly out menu in the upper right hand corner of that panel. The whole section that should contain, Add objects, delete objects, duplicate objects, all the way through reverse order is missing. The add lights section above and render section below it is there. I am not new to Photoshop, but I am new to the 3D section of Photoshops work space.
    I do know about creating a new layer in the layers tab and merging the objects together trick. But I kind of would like for the program to work correctly as I am sure that doing it that way will cause some sort of problems later in the work process.
    Below are the specs of my system.

    Photoshop says that my software is up to date. I use Photoshop daily and everything else works just fine. I have looked through this forum and there is someone else who had the same issue as me but their question was not given a solution. So that is why I choose to post it again.
    Any help will be great. Thank you!
    Mark.

    I've made tests with four different 3rd party tools: OpenGL Extension Viewer, GPU Caps Viewer, Compute4Cash OpenCL Diagnostic Tool and Mudlord's Glide3x wrapper tester. All those tools report no problems with my video card driver and OpenGL/CL.
    I have contacted nVidia and based on reports from the tools and visual tests from GPU Caps Viewer nVidia support doesn't see a problem with my driver.
    I found sniffer_gpu.exe which according to Adobe Help pages is a kind of diagnostic tool and determines whether Photoshop uses the graphic card OpenCL or not. Here is the output:
    Device: 00000000002B1BE8 has video RAM(MB): 1023
    Vendor string:    NVIDIA Corporation
    Renderer string:  GeForce GTX 650/PCIe/SSE2
    Version string:   3.0.0
    OpenGL version as determined by Extensionator...
    OpenGL Version 3.0
    Has NPOT support: TRUE
    Has Framebuffer Object Extension support: TRUE
    OpenGL ok
    OpenCL ok, version=1.1 CUDA 4.2.1
    Return code: 3
    From Adobe GPU Sniffer tool, it looks OK.
    On the other hand, I have your word that there is no problem with Photoshop not recognizing OpenCL for my card and that nVidia driver has problems. Can you justify this somehow? Perhaps you could provide more details on technical level, or another utility to run and extract details, to at least identify the problem Photoshop has and hopefully solve it on either side.
    P.S. During tests there were two things which I noticed, but they are probably not related to the issue:
    1. One tool reports the lack of Windows registry key SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows (NT)/CurrentVersion/OpenGLDrivers. But according to your previous statement, Photoshop only uses OS calls, no registry and according to nVidia, this key is not used in Windows 7.
    2. During some tests GPU Caps Viewer reports that "OpenCL CPU not supported on the selected platform". This is not complaining about GPU, only about CPU. But Photoshop is complaining about GPU, so it shouldn't be relevant.

  • Photoshop CS6 Filter Gallery Plugin Missing after Creative Cloud Last update!

    I have a new 15" macbook pro, and have the set requirements to run Photoshop CS6 even after the recent updates.  However, I still cannot access the "Filter Gallery", and when I went to find the so called "Filter Gallery" plugin folder--what do you know that plugin is missing all together.  I don't even have it anymore!  I've already done the Preferences, show all plugins, etc... deal and this is not the issue here.  My Filter Plugin is missing all together, and my macbook pro was purchased brand new from the Mac store, 3-4 months ago.
    What is the suggestion for me in this case?  I have been a paying Adobe Creative Cloud member since day one, when it first became available, and now I'm over the top upset over this problem!  How can I fix this missing plugin?

    Well after much research that I did on my own, I came across this link that help shed some light to the problem I listed above. 
    Here's the link that explains how to get your "Filter Gallery" to show and not be grayed out.  Unfortunately, it appears Adobe has to work on upgrading this Filter Gallery to work to part with 16-bit images, vs the current 8-bit.
    click on link where it explains this in details, and shows how to fix the problem I had.

  • 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

  • Photoshop CC Lighting Grab Handles Missing

    Update: New image for better explanation.
    As you can see in the image the circular grab handles on the right are missing on the lighting effects, making it nearly impossible to scale/rotate. I turned on all extras and they will still not appear. In Photoshop CS6 they appear with no issue, they're only missing in Photoshop CC.
    Does anyone have a solution? Sorry if this is an amateur question I just can't figure it out! Thank you!

    Good to know I'm not the only one having this problem (Sucks you are too though). I still haven't figured out a fix
    It most likely does have something to do with the Retina displays. I wonder if Adobe is aware of the bug?

  • Missing 3d tools in Photoshop CS6 extended

    Hi everyone, I thought that I would seek help here before I endure the agony of Adobe technical help. I just installed the upgrade to CS6 Design and Web Premium yesterday. Received my email for the free upgrade yesterday morning and all went fine for the download and install as far as I can tell.
    Both the flash screen as well as the about Photoshop screen show CS6 extended, yet I have no 3D tools at all, either in the menu or toolbar. This is the case both with my laptop and desktop.
    I have the latest drivers for my video cards and "use graphic processor" is checked in preferences.  Am I just being stupid and missing something (entirely possible), or does anyone had a similar problem or any suggestions.

    Windows XPpro 32bit service pack 3

  • What is missing from Photoshop CS6 ???

         I tried the new PhotoShop CS6 (beta) but aside from some innovations of which my favorite is the interface (The interface is one of the best innovation that Adobe have made finally an interface that does not make you eyes hurt) and content aware move tool (content aware is definitely the best technology in Photoshop, may in the future in Photoshop CS20 will be voice-activated and will do exactly what you say even to draw for you) and maybe the new brushis, nothing that new, especially for those who draw in Photoshop concept artists, Ilustrators and so on ... etc
          In my opinion what is missing from the famous Photoshop CS 6 and should have been is :
         1 : Live symmetry drawing (horizontal and vertical) even the simplest programs like Alchemy / Sketchbook Pro and new Painter 12 has the function they have gone beyond the horizontal and vertical with the function of Kaleidoscope. I really like how the brush works in Alchemy especially in symmetry, in Sketchbook Pro are not so good in symmetry, unless thei are round but if you have a strange shapes thei tend to function as a parallel very strange but it is ther why the famous Photoshop does not have this function ??? I hoped that in PS CS6 (beta) to be, but no, I do hope maybe in the CS7 will be,
         2: I would like to make several sets of brushes, but in different windows on the screen at the same time not only a big one something like Corel Painter 12
         3: If you put a 3d function why do you tried to do something like the Google SketchUP fast, simple to use and easy to learn, or a simplified version of ZBrush sculpture in 3d clay ???
         Ok now let's talk about Bridge CS6: same functions, nothing so new, I hope that in the cs6 to implement something like the function of ACDSee Photo Manager 12 for example:
         Preview Thumbnails in a files, shortcuts that can be modified, such as double click I want to open fullscreen preview not send in photoshop or Camera Raw etc, why not the same as Photoshop, to make what I want to what I want, preview window to have the option of framing the image even if it is small or large (fit image, reduce or enlarge) the same for full screen mode the image will be framed by the edges of the screen (fit image height or widthand reduce or enlarge) from there if you want 100%, 200% etc. and many others
         What is right, there are many other features that I like and love in Bridge much more than ACDSee 12 such as preview multiple images at the same time in preview window and Review Mode (one of my favorite) and many others but ...   ... What was more important to me I said maybe for someone else is something else missing ...

    …Why on earth would you want to restrict Photoshop?…
    Because I may consider it to be bloated already?
    Because I don't need to be driving around in a motor home when my car fills my needs?
    Because I don't need a hammer that doubles as a screwdriver or water-heater when I need to drive a nail?
    Because a scalpel may be more useful for my purposes than a Swiss-army knife?
    Because I would prefer the engineering team to work on refining existing features and improving stability rather than add features that are better served in drawing and painting applications?
    Because I'm not particularly impressed by some of the new "features"?
    Because I would prefer to see improvements to the History panel as have been suggested and requested over the years?
    I could think of many more such reasons why.

    …I suspect there are a great many features in existing versions of Photoshop that you don't use…
    Duh!    Precisely! 
    Software bloat adds to the cost of developing and maintaining an application, delays the release of bug fixes and genuine improvements of existing features and eventually demands greater hardware resources.
    I have no clue as to what the he!! your "Prime Minister" quote is supposed to mean in the context of this discussion, unless you're implying that you feel like a 21-year-old whippersnapper who knows everything.  From your avatar picture you look younger than I am.  Besides, I know of very few "prime ministers" who are, were or have been particularly knowledgeable about "everything", so that may not even be a requirement for the job.
