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.

    Well, second one is, when i click OK while loading and taking screenshot while cursor is on *loading*
    And third one, after it's done loading, well not result what i expected...
    And, i tried recreating same lightning as yours, but same results, whole image is iluminated
    Starting to think, maybe something wrong with my Photoshop?

  • Lighting Effect not work in CS6*

    Why Filter/ Render/ Lighting Effect not work in CS6?
    It's not work only in CS6 Beta or in anything else :-/. It's Useful with me

    A bit more information would be helpful.  What is happening on your system when you go to  lighting effects?
    What system are you running on? What video card are you using? Are you using the most recent driver?
    Do check our system FAQ as GPU is requried for lignting effects to work properly.

  • Lighting effects not working, 'Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)' with 4GB RAM?

    Tried to use 'render/lighting effects' on 5 more or less new different laptops now. All kind of Window versions.
    They all have at least 4GB RAM. The Graphic Card is compatible.
    Layer to work on is RGB-Type.
    It's all about Photoshop CC 2014, trial version.
    When I go to 'Lighting effects' it says first:
    'The 3D features require that 'Use Graphics Processor' is enabled in the Performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirements and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly.'
    - I switched the 'Use Graphics Processor' on and off and restarted new - nothing happens.
    - Video card is compatible.
    Second it says:
    ''Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)'
    - RAM on all the computers I tested it with is at least 4GB
    Please help!

    We would need to know the amount of Video ram you have. If it is above 512 MB, then check for driver updates.
    Windows OS
    Click Start.
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
    The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.
    On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.
    Once you know the kind of graphics card you have, visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest driver. Here are links for downloading drivers from the most common graphics card manufacturers:

  • Eye Dropper tool in After Effects Not working Properly

    I am using Adobe After Effects CS5 on a mac. And most all of the eyedropper tools in the software are not working properly. They always select a way different color than it should be. What is wrong?
    One day they just all decided to not work. Its really frustrating. Its been a few weeks now.

    Well, For some strange reason its working just fine today. I did restart my computer yesterday and after that it seems to be working.
    I haven't recenitly messed with my hardware acceleration/graphics card or monitor color profile. So if that was it, then it did it on its own.
    None the less its working now. Thank you for your help!!!

  • 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.

  • "Ken Burns effect" not working properly

    Whenever I try to add a still photo to an iMovie 6 project, i get an error chirp and then nothing ends up in the timeline. Often, if I turn off the ken Burns Effect, it imports fine.
    Do I need to reinstall? If so, won't that mess up the iLife '09 software already installed? And will it mean that I have to reinstall all my Slick Effects?
    Anybody know the answers to these questions?
    Thanks in advance.

    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    iMovie updated ?
    QuickTime updated ?
    Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

  • Flip effect not working properly

    Hello Friends,

  • Crumble animation effect not working properly

    Crumble effect is not working. Other effects seem fine. Tried moving the one slide to a new presentation. Tried changing speed.  I've rebooted. Can't locate any pref files to remove. I'm using it on a .png object I made in photoshop. Hmm. maybe I'll convert to .jpg and see what happens.
    Using Keynote 6.2
    OS X 10.9.4
    Mac Mini 2.7 core i7
    16gb ram

    Crumble effect works perfectly with me.
    You are aware that crumble is a build out effect?  Therefore it removes an image from the screen using the effect.

  • Lighting Effects -- Not Working

    I am having trouble with the Lighting Effects in Photoshop CS6.  I can get a lighting effectt, but in the preview window, I cannot move the light (although I can select it), and there are no control options.
    I am running CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit
    I have looked through the discussion site and done everything suggested -- Adobe is up-to-date, as is my graphics card; I have changed the "Drawing Mode" from Basic to Normal to Advanced.  (I do note that since I updated the Video Driver, the OpenCL option is now greyed-out.  I'm not sure why.)  I have copies of the relevant System Info below.  Any suggestions?

  • Can you help? photo booth effect not working properly.

    The pop art effect is no longer working on my mom's G5. It only shows a pic in the upper left rahter than the four it used to show: upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right.

    parp,
    You don't mention which model of G5 your mother has.
    However, you need to install a "fresh" copy of the Photo Booth application from the install DVD or a working copy from another machine.
    Mine POP ART effect stopped working like you mentioned with only the one photo in the upper left. I deleted that copy of the Photo Booth application and installed a fresh one. Now all 4 or the photos are showing.

  • Leopard Video Effects Not Working Properly

    When ever I have a video conference and try to use a video backdrop the picture becomes very flaky, with parts of my me being covered up by the back drop and random parts of the back drop not working. I think I'm doing everything right but it still isn't working right.
    Thanks,
    David

    I have that same problem too. I called up Applecare and was on the phone with them for at least and hour and they couldn't fix it either. They said that everyone is having this problem. I was at the Apple Store today for my ProCare Appointment and the creative told me that it does the same thing on all the computers in the store. Its such advanced technology that it need a nice clean background. There is a way to get it to work if you have a plain white background and I have yet to try it out. I am positive that apple will fix this through a software update in the future.
    The support agent on the phone said this might help too:

  • Lighting Effect Not Working Correctly?

    I recently purchased and downloaded the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  When I try to apply the lighting effect to my photos, it doesn't give me any options like the elements 6 did, and I was wondering how to fix this.

    If your using the effects panel instead of the filter menu, then in order for filter dialogs to show, you need to check Automatically Show Filter Gallery

  • Photo Booth Backdrop Effects Not Working Properly

    Special Effects and Distortion Effects work but Backdrop Effects (Clouds, Color Dots, Earthrise, Eiffel Tower, Fish, Rollercoaster, Sunset, Yosemite)
    doesn't. It would ask me to step out of the frame and I do, then I get Background Detected and I step in the frame but here's the problem. The backdrop doesn't show correctly. Say I choose 'Eiffel Tower' I can't see the whole backdrop just some of it because my actual background (wall) interferes, in other words I can see both my wall and the backdrop. How can I fix this?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean
