I have Photoshop CS and have recently noticed that I have some Filters missing that I didn't before. Like the "Lighting effects" filter. Someone have suggestions about how to get these back?
View 1 RepliesI 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. what I need to do to get the filter?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo ive recently got PHotoshop CC, been using it without a hitch for a week. Then the time came to use lighting effects, but turns out they were grayed out:
I dont know why this is happening. Im in RGB mode, with 8 bit/channel. One thing i did notice though is that my graphics card does not show up in photoshop:
I have a Intel Q35 Chipset with 256 MB memory. I have an Intel Core 2 vPro processor running at 2.33 GHz, with 512 MB RAM. My OS is WIndows 7 (32-bit). im trying to complete a project and I really need the Lighting Effects. I'm using Photoshop CC.
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.
do I have to go back to CS4 to do all my lighting effects?
light widget missing in the Lighting Effects filter in CS6?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have no lighting effects in the SDK so we've been looking at work around for how to introduce them.Our game takes places on various planets in the solar system. It will be viewed from the top down so the player will be able to see terrain and structures.
The game is going to be compiled mostly using 2D map art and 3D animated models imported as sprite sheets.Because there are no lighting effects we are adding them to the models using the modelling software. All of game maps are being built with a white light. We are instead looking to add a block image canvas with the colour set to that which matches the planet it is set. With the opacity reduced to 25-35% it then gives the map and models the correct light ambience. Before our developer started testing this out in the SDK I used photoshop to come up with the solution. I found that we got the best results when setting the canvas block colour layer to 'soft light'. The only problem is when I export the canvas on its own and send it to our developer it seems to lose the soft light effect.
My question is, is there a way to export the soft light effect? Simply using normal mode and changing the opacity doesn't make the light ambiance look as natural.If you scroll down on the link below you will see two images of the same location. One with the soft light and effect and one with out. URL....
I now have the latest updates to CS6 and Lighting Effects is still not available. It should be in Filters / Render ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use the Filter->Render->lighting effects, the problem is that it is greyed out and I have no idea what I need to do to make it so I can use the effect.
Here is what I have done so far (and it is not much):
New project
Filter->render->clouds (5 times)
Now I want to use the lighting effect.
I'm designing a ticket for the senior prom with photoshop. Basically I have a plain black background, with a layer of text over it.
I'm trying to place three red spotlights on the black. The them for prom is hollywood.
Whenever I go to Filter<Render<Lighting effects, I pick three down or whatever, and make them red. The lights do not show up on the preview though... The dots do, but not the lights. If I pick an omni light it works...but not spotlight or directional. If I hit okay, nothing changes on my ticket.
I've noticed that for the last few images I've tried modifying the lighting with (using Filters>Render>Lighting Effects), that it will not change the bottom row of pixels, for any reason. I've changed the angle of the lighting, and tried all combinations of effects, none of them doing anything to the very bottom row, 1px thick. I can still modify that row myself, and other filters work on it normally, but lighting effects refuses to.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running both PS CC and CS6 on my mac mini (late 2012, 2.3 i7, 16 GB ram). When I try to use the lighting effects filter on CC, it opens, and all the sliders in the properties box work, but without the tools to point and modify the light source. On CS6, lighting effects opens with the expected oval shaped tools and the intensity adjuster. I am assuming that it is not the Mac-mini, as it handles both versions, CC and CS6,Is this a bug in CC? I have searched and found nothing to this effect. I am assuming the video capabilities are adequate as the lighting effects option is not greyed out in either version. Also, I have made sure the image I am working on is in 8 bit mode.

When I invoke the lighting effects filter, EVEN WITH 8bit image, I am unable to use. The elipses and spots that allow the lights to be moved cannot be seen in spite of my best efforts. Searched web to no effect.
I'm very used to using the Lighting Effects Filter which I can't seem to use with files that have gone through Nik software plug-ins. Any video tutorial or other educational material which I can use to find a way to emulate the lighting effects filter? I'm using CS5 V12.1 x64. I'm not a professional so upgrading to CS6 is not feasible.

So I was doing a live stream and we got talking about subtle lighting effects and how you can create them by doing really subtle things in 1 of the examples I demonstrated 1 of my favourite forms and that is using a gradient set to overlay and then a gaussian blur and faded.
What kind of lighting /colour editing do you use share different techniques.
Straight lighting
Subtle colour cast lighting effects
Ok not best examples and many may prefer the none altered version but this was my latest work on my desktop and was used at the time.
