Preview toggle in Lighting Effects crashes CS6 Beta

I'm on Win7x64 Ultimate, 8GB RAM, GTX260-896 MB VRAM, latest drivers (296.10 released 13 Mar 2012).
I can use, and save the results of using, Lighting Effects (only relatively small (< 4 MB) flat 16-bit TIFFs and flat JPEGs tried so far) with no apparent difficulties. However, any but the most limited use (not exceededing three on average - applied as a continuous toggle) of the Preview button invariably causes CS6 Beta to crash. This is the error message generated by Windows:
"Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopprd working

This happens with all Basic, Normal and Advanced Drawing Modes in the "Advanced Settings" tab of the Graphics Processor Settings dialog in the Performance Tab of Preferences. Having ticked "Use Graphics Processor" and then clicked the "Advanced Settings" button, CS6 Beta tells me that Open CL is an available option (which is consistent with the release notes for the latest drivers) but because my graphics card is now about 4 or 5 years old, I have my doubts and so my testing has included not selecting that option. However all tests have selected "Use Graphics Processor to Accelerate Computation".
I was hoping that someone in the Adobe development team might be able to have a look at this issue for me? Please?

Continuing to experience this problem - this time applying the filter to a Smart Object layer in an 84 MB PSD file - crash occuring after just 3 toggles of the Preview button.
Here is the summary and full report generated by NirSoft's AppCrashView (ver 1.11) program. It takes its info from the Windows WERs.
Can anyone else reproduce this behaviour ?

Cs6 lighting effects crash

CS6-64bit lighting effects crashing my computer 30 to 50 seconde into using. Strange digital artifacts following the cursor before crashing. I have plenty of RAM-8 gigs. It worked ok the firstt few times using.
I'm using windows 7 on a Asus I7 laptop with ATI Radeon grafics. plenty powerful. Is there an a adobe down load fix for this problem? Thanks Dan5530

Hello.
Thank you for replying.
There are very few settings you can alter.. I'm not sure which ones you suggested that I didn't try, but basically turning off the graphics acceleration disables 'lighting effects' as that only works in acceleration mode.
I did try 'normal' or 'basic' mode and both still crashed.
I have also tried loading the 32 bit mode of photoshop.. and while it takes longer to crash, it still crashes
I updated the drivers as the very latest drivers from the Nividia website which has NOT fixed the problem.
I have logged a support ticket with adobe AND with Nvidia.. hopefully somebody can help.

"Hello,Basically since getting this laptop (asus g75vw1) with this

I have posted on 'adobes' forum.. (you can see that post here

However everyone keeps saying when this issue occurs it's a
driver issue with the graphics card. I did have the previous
version of the driver, but have updated to the latest version
and the problem is still there.
As you can see from that adobe thread I've been doing a lot
of trouble shooting to no avail
Everyone insists its a graphics card driver problem. Help"

Lighting Effects crashing Photoshop CC 2014

Anyone having issues with Lighting Effects crashing Photoshop CC 2014 every time it attempts to launch? Not a problem in previous version.

That's probably correct - it's a Toshiba laptop which has been fine until now - has an AMD HD8400 graphic processor which probably just can't hack the upgrade. May need a proper workstation now!
Thanks,
Nigel.

Cannot use lighting effect in CS6 extended

When I use the lighting effect filter in CS6 extended, it only creates a new layer without any change in the menu and other things. As advised, I try to edit the GPU setting under the edit menu but the column is in grey colour and cannot be edited. I have changed my display card to AMD Radeon HD 7770 with an updated driver but it still not works.

Are you sure the document is an RGB 8-bit/channel image?

Lighting Effects in CS6

I now have the latest updates to CS6 and Lighting Effects is still not available.
It should be in Filters/Render ?

are you talking about photoshop? if so: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/add-lighting-effects.html

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 Effects in CS6(extended) part of Creative Suite

When I do the Lighting Effects Filter, the effect is present. However, when I click the OK button, the effect does NOT show. Please explain.

No, all channels were selected. But, I think I figured it out ... there was a filter mask also present from a previous smart filter which should have been deleted.
Another question about filters, lighting in particular. Seems to take "forever" for the effect to render. I have a Mac Pro with the following configuration:

Do you think changing the memory or the graphics display would speed things up?

Trouble accessing lighting effects in CS6 for a rush job!

This is driving me nuts. I love lighting effects and need it for a rush job, but it is greyed out. I am in RGB mode 8 bits. I have tried flattening, layers and no matter what I still cannot access it. Please help!! I need this right away. Thank you!!

Thank you, it looks like it could either be my graphics card or the fact that I have PS Standard. Thanks for your help. I am very sad that this feature is not avaliable. I am dealing with a very sensitive session and this effect would have been perfect. Thanks for all the help.

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?

CS4 Lighting Effects Filter Preview Size

Is there any way to increase the size of the preview in the Lighting Effects dialog box?
Thanks!

I'll stop looking for one then :-)

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?

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.

Render lighting effects not working properly

I seem to be having a problem with the 'Render > Lighting Effects' feature. It works, but not the first time I use it. I can go in, set the controls how I'd like them, and click OK to apply. The effects will remain for about 5 to 10 seconds, and then it will revert to the image I had before the lighting effects were applied. If I repeat the process a second time, the effects will remain in place.
I'm using CS6 via Adobe Creative Suite on a Windows 7 operating system. Any ideas?

Don't really understand what you are saying.
Without the ability to change the size of the oval the lighting effect will always be the same size. How can I get the buttons to appear? I have just watched several video tutorial on the lighting effects in CS6 and the buttons were showing in all of these and it was demonstrated how to change the size of the effect by using them.
