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?

    If you purchased it as a download you should have a link to download it in your Adobe account online.  Otherwise you can download the trial version and use your serial number to activate it.

    An alternative site for downloading the trial version follows but you need to follow the instructions carefully for the download to work.

  • CS6 Lighting Effects Filter won't let me copy lights or drag to delete (bug?)

    I am trying to apply a Lighting Effects filter in CS 6 x64.
    It appears the Alt + drag command to copy a light won't work. I've tried it on the light on the Image Canvas and by alt + drag on the light in the Lights panel wit no luck.
    I also can't drag a light in the Lights panel down to the trash can do delete it. I have to select it and just click the trash can icon.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks,

    Yes, I'm having the same issue in Mavericks with the latest version of Photoshop CC. I cannot duplicate nor can I drag a light source to the trash in the Lights palette.

  • 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!

    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.

    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.

  • Using the lighting effects filter causes my CS6 to crash

    Hi,
    I read other threads with people have issues with their PC, but I am not able to follow them to correct my issues.
    When I open a JPEG file from my mark iii into CS6, I try to start a new layer and then add the lighting effects filter.  CS6 crashes (the little effects comes up on the screen and the little blue circle goes round and round). Nothing happens, but if I check task manager it says photoshop is not running. 
    I have windows, 16GB ram, and am using a small percent of my memory. 
    How do I see if I need to update my video card and how do I do that?
    Thank you, Michele

    Have you installed all the Photoshop updates?
    And have you checked your GPU maker's website for updated video card drivers?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Help, where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop CS6

    Okay, I admitt, .... I am an idiot that is new to Adobe Photoshop.
    But help the new girl out, here.... Please...
    Where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6.
    I searched Adobe Help in Dutch already but they point me towards options that doesn't excist.
    Maybe they were there in Adobe CS5 and I am reading an older version of the documentation...
    But in CS6 I can only find the option Render and no Render Preferences...
    Thanks !!

    Adobe changed the way video is rendered in CS6. Adobe Media Encoder in now used in CS6 only a subset of the Adobe's full Adobe Media Encoder is included in CS6 is a dll. I do not think you can add new Rendering Presets however you can change some setting when you use the supplied Reddening Presets.  Perhaps if you have the Adobe suite and have the full Adobe Media Encoder you can create some presets and add them to Photoshop Rendering presets.  I seem some compliants about CS6 Quicktime rendering presets lack the power of CS5.  The Rendering presets seem to be stored in sub folders in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder"

  • 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.
