Urgent - Need help with Lighting Effects Filter

Hi,
I need urgent help on something regarding the Lighting Effects filter in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I need lighting effect urgently to complete a project.
I am using Photoshop CS5 on a Windows Vista computer in 64-bit mode.
On the net it is given that you can run photoshop CS5 in 32-bit mode to use the lighting effects filter - both on Mac and PC.
My Problem:
While on the net it is given how to change from 64-bit to 32-bit and vice-versa, I have my Photoshop CS5 installed on 'E - Drive' and not on 'C - Drive' due to lack of space. I have followed all the instructions on how to open it in 32-bit mode on the net, but I still cannot use the lighting effects plugin.
What I need is if someone could give simple and clear instructions on how to open Photoshop CS5 32-bit version instead of opening the default 64-bit version on Windows Vista - that would be great.
Looking forward to answers.
Thanks.

That advice about running the 32 bit version of cs5 for the Render> Lighting Effects filter
only pertains to the mac version of photoshop cs5.
The lighting effects filter does work in the 64 bit version of photoshop cs5 on windows, your
document just has to be 8 bits/channel and in the RGB Color mode (Image>Mode) same
for using the lighting effects filter in the 32 bit version of cs5.
Added: In general it's frowned upon installing photoshop on drives other than C drive.

  • Need help with Lighting Effects; CS3

    So, let's say that you were trying to work out some customization using the Lighting effects under: Filter > Render > Lighting Effects.
    I understand that there is a very specific file that has the Styles.
    Any chance I can fix this problem?

    If you mean that they're grayed out then that's because you're not in RGB color mode with 8bits/channel. If you mean that the filters simply don't show up in the Filters menu then they're probably hidden in which case go to Edit->Menus and make sure that the Set dropdown is set to Photoshop Defaults (switching to the Basic workspace changes the menus to the Basic set that hides a lot of menu items)

  • Urgently need help with this

    Hi!!
    I urgently need help with this:
    When I compile this in Flex Builder 3 it says: The element type 'mx:Application' must be terminated by the matching end-tag '</mx:Application>'.
    but I have this end tag in my file, but when I try to switch from source view to desgin view it says, that: >/mx:Script> expected to terminate element at line 71, this is right at the end of the .mxml file. I have actionscript(.as) file for scripting data.
    This is the mxml code to terminate apllication tag which I did as you can see:

    I know it's been a while but… did you fix this?
    It looks to me like you are terminating the <mx:Application> tag at the top. The opening tag should end like this: resultFormat="e4x">, not resultFormat="e4x"/> (Remove the /).

  • Help! Lighting Effects filter has disappeared.

    As the headline says, the Lighting Effects filter has disappeared from the Render options in the Filters menu of Photoshop CS5. Can someone please tell me how to get it back?
    Thanks!

    Thanks to both of you for pointing out that Lighting Effects only runs in 32-bit mode in Photoshop CS5.
    Of course, the obvious followup question is: Adobe is responsible for keeping its native plugins up-to-date, isn't it?
    8 GB RAM upgrades are becoming very affordable nowadays, which makes 64-bit mode a desirable option for a much broader range of Adobe customers than ever before. I respectfully suggest that Adobe get on the stick with this one.

  • Need help with gunshot effect in FCP

    New to FCP and am trying to add a gunshot effect to a short film. Doesn't have to look top notch...just looking for something simple.
    I added a muzzle blast for the shooter from detonationfilms.com, which worked great. When i overlayed the muzzle blast, the background was black. I was able to fix this by using Modify>Composite>Screen.
    Now I'm trying to add the bullet hitting the victim, but all the shots from detonationfilms.com have white backgrounds. For some reason, when I go to Modify>Composite>Screen it doesn't work for white. What I'm I missing? Are there any other websites that have bullet hits with a black background? As I said, I'm not too picky.
    Lastly, I have about a 40 frame shot of the victim collapsing to the ground after being shot. He's wearing a white T-Shirt, which I'd like to stain with blood. Can someone tell me what program would work best for this? I basically think I need to go frame by frame and "paint" the blood on him, but not sure what program is best for this (and simple).
    Thanks! Much appreciated.

    welcome to the family. We're not really here to help you with practical effects and filmmaking tips, we're here to help you with the software. But we'll see who shows up.
    For some reason, when I go to Modify>Composite>Screen it doesn't work for white. What I'm I missing? < </div>
    Screen drops out black pixels. It's not really the best way to get luma key effects but it's quick and easy for high contrast effects footage that is delivered on superblack. Try a luma keyer to key out the white.

    Should have been done as a practical effect while shooting. A simple squib and blood packet would have been FAR easier to deal with than rotoscoping and hand painting. You need After Effects or, if you have Motion, crack the manual and get set for some long sessions. There is nothing simple about handpainting on a moving object.

    In your case, because the image is 8bit, you need to use the "colors" array containing the real RGB value.
    Look at the Help for the "Read BMP File VI", you should be able to properly handle your pixels from there.
     thanks for pointing that out for me, so I connect the 'totalpix' array with the 'colors' array from the image data instead of the 'image' array, that's correct right?

  • Need help with after effects render engine setup

    I use AE CS6 on a mac computer running Mountain Lion. I also own a PC running Windows 7, and I am wanting to use it to assist with network rendering. How do I install the after effects render engine on a PC, when all that I own is the Mac version of the software?
    Any help would be appreciated

    Did you purchase a perpetual license for the software, or do you have a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?
    If the former, you need to purchase an additional license to get the Windows version. If the latter, you can just download the Windows version as part of your subscription.

  • Need Help With After Effects. Please read.

    Hey,

It doesnt stuck at the same point everytime. I need my video to run smoothly. Can someone please help.

  • NEED HELP WITH SOLARIZING EFFECT!

    So I am editing my final film project at the moment on FCP, and I need to know how to make the solarizing video filter do a few specific things. I need to make it look like the effect is SLOWLY CREEPING INTO THE CLIP and not just simply BOOM, THERE! And then on the following clip, I'd like it if my actors remained in regular color, as they were, and for only the BACKGROUND behind them to have the soarized filter.
    Does anybody know how to do this at all? It would be a tremendous help to me as right now the effect honestly looks a bit silly! Thanks, I really appreciate it a lot!
    Cheers,
    Liz

    I need to make it look like the effect is SLOWLY CREEPING INTO THE CLIP< </div>
    Create a next of all of your finished sequence. Pull two copies fo the next into a new sequence, on on top of the other (you only need audio from one of them). One copy of your sequence does not have the filter, the other does. Create a wipe or another transition or use a motion track matte to add the effect. Using an animated track matte you can have the solarization effect selectively applied to any location on the screen.
    If this is a big part of your finished school project, you may want to have Plan B ready to go. You may not be able to get what you think you want without exploring several special effects design functions that you apparently have not covered in class.

  • Need help with my image filter

    hi guys,
    so i'm making this image filter for school in Labview but can't get it to work properly, to do the filtering i'm using a formula node, which in my eyes is easier then with only labview functions.
    for the C code i'm following this website: http://lodev.org/cgtutor/filtering.html
    i don't copy exact every line, i'm only copying the lines i need. note that i don't use the "ColorRGB" class because it doesn't exist in a formula node, i do the filtering on a black and white image so don't really need it.
    I adjusted to code so that it would work in my formula node.
    if i run the vi and select the attached image file (can't attach .bmp files so i included a link for the img file) for input then it just returns the original image, which is good and also bad, good because the code works in some way but bad because it doesn't do any filtering or such.
    Could anyone please look into this and give me some tips or tell me what i'm doing wrong?
    and if anyone knows how to do this in RGB you are always welcome to give me tips.  
    used image file: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/74810991/file.html  (can't attach bmp files so i uploaded it quickly)
    (btw i know there is this toolkit called vision which has many functions that could help me, but the teacher already said we can't use that)
    i hope somebody can assist me in this and willing to give me some help.

    fair enough frank lets add some extra data to the tables.
    for example.
    INSERT INTO "INVOICE" (FARINVC_INVH_CODE, FARINVC_ITEM, FARINVC_PO) VALUES ('I0554167', '1', 'P0142447')
    INSERT INTO "INVOICE" (FARINVC_INVH_CODE, FARINVC_ITEM, FARINVC_PO) VALUES ('I0554167', '2', 'P0142447')
    INSERT INTO "PO" (SUPPLIER_NUMBER, SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO, PO_NUMBER, RUN_DATE, PO_LINE_NUMBER) VALUES ('914100123', 'INV1', 'P0142247', '25-NOV-12', '1')
    INSERT INTO "PO" (SUPPLIER_NUMBER, SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO, PO_NUMBER, RUN_DATE, PO_LINE_NUMBER) VALUES ('914100123', 'INV2', 'P0142247', '25-NOV-12', '2')
    INSERT INTO "PO" (SUPPLIER_NUMBER, SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO, PO_NUMBER, RUN_DATE, PO_LINE_NUMBER) VALUES ('914100123', 'INV3', 'P0142247', '25-NOV-12', '3')if we run the query above we get
    "FARINVC_INVH_CODE"           "SUPPLIER_NUMBER"             "SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO"         "FARINVC_ITEM"                "FARINVC_PO"                  "PO_NUMBER"                   "RUN_DATE"                    "PO_LINE_NUMBER"

Furthermore i would only like to see the items that are repeating invoice numbers, in other words my result here should still only be, because "SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO" is repeating and it does find a match for the po in the invoice table but yet there is an item with the same invoice and po in the po table that does not have a match in the invoice table.
    "FARINVC_INVH_CODE"           "SUPPLIER_NUMBER"             "SUPPLIER_INVOICE_NO"         "FARINVC_ITEM"                "FARINVC_PO"                  "PO_NUMBER"                   "RUN_DATE"                    "PO_LINE_NUMBER"

  • Urgent - need help with ring gradient

    Does anyone know how do I apply spectrum gradient to this circle as on pic (its a dry brush stroke that comes with illustrator)
    Please help, i tried everything

    this is in CS5. in CS6 and above you can make life much easier by using a gradient along a stroked circle.
    these are your ingredients: circle with the appropriate brush and a line with a stroke.
    rotate the line about one end however many steps you need for each colour (rotate tool, alt-click on the bottom of the path, use smart guides to pinpoint it).
    change each path to your colours. make a copy of the first colour (orange here) and paste in front (ctrl+F).
    select all the lines. make a blend (ctrl + alt + B).
    select the brushed circle. expand appearance (object > expand appearance). this particular one was a group, and we want a compound path, so I ungrouped it and made a compound path (ctrl + 8). position it over your colour wheel. make sure its in front.
    select both and make a clipping path (ctrl + 7).

  • Need Help with an effect

    Does anyone know how to take an image of grass and make it
    look like it's blowing in the wind? I've seen images bent in
    directions before, just don't know how.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    If your grass is a bitmap - then my FLA won't help you
    anyway. You can't manipulate bitmaps like
    that in flash - your only options are to re draw it in flash
    with vectors or use Anime Studio's
    Bones and Warp Image features (awesome!!!) - check it out at
    www.e-frontier.com. Then import it into
    flash as an image sequence.

  • URGENTLY NEED HELP WITH NESTED REPEAT REGION

    Im using dreamweaver to deevelop a page that displays questions in ann assessment to the user. First of all the page shows the assessment name to the user and then it gets some information about the questions in the assessment from the table called Item. It gets the Question_ID and then there is a repeat region which uses the Question_ID to display the questions in the assessment. There is a nested repeat region inside this which displays the possible answers the user can respond to the question with It gets this information from a table called outcome. The page should display each question and then all the possible answers but i am having problems and im not sure wether i am doing this in the correct way. What is wrong with my code? PLEASE HELP! can someone tell me what is going wrong and how i can fix this problem thamks.

    Hi,
    Dont have much time to go through your code, but apparently i can see the error is becoz of the following reason.
    In the following code, you have used "outcomeRecordset_data ", but its not declared. You need to declare the variable first before you can use it.
    <% while ((outcomeRecordset_hasData)&&(Repeat2__numRows-- != 0)) {%>
                      <tr>
                        <td><%=(((outcomeRecordset_data = outcomeRecordset.getObject("Outcome_Number"))==null || outcomeRecordset.wasNull())?"":outcomeRecordsetRecordset_data)%></td>
                        <td><%=(((outcomeRecordset_data = outcomeRecordset.getObject("Outcome_Text"))==null || outcomeRecordset.wasNull())?"":outcomeRecordsetRecordset_data)%></td>
                        <td><%=(((outcomeRecordset_data = outcomeRecordset.getObject("Score"))==null || outcomeRecordset.wasNull())?"":outcomeRecordsetRecordset_data)%></td>
                        <td><%=(((outcomeRecordset_data = outcomeRecordset.getObject("Feedback"))==null || outcomeRecordset.wasNull())?"":outcomeRecordsetRecordset_data)%></td>
                        <td><%=(((outcomeRecordset_data = outcomeRecordset.getObject("Question_ID"))==null || outcomeRecordset.wasNull())?"":outcomeRecordsetRecordset_data)%></td>
                      </tr>
                      <%
      Repeat2__index++;
      outcomeRecordset_hasData = outcomeRecordset.next();
    %>Try declaring the "outcomeRecordset_data " on top as an object
    Hope it helps
