Lighting Effects options not showing up for cs6 on 32-bit windows 7.

Jul 24, 2012 5:57 PM

Tags: #cs6 #lighting_effects #lighting_effect #windows_7_32_bit

I've seen a similar question asked many times here but nothing seems to be working.

 

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?

    Lighting effects gallery

    Get better performance and results with the new, 64-bit Lighting Effects gallery. A dedicated workspace provides on-canvas controls and previews that make it easier to visualize your lighting enhancements.

    For more information, see Apply lighting effects.

    You're the second or third person with an open thread on Lighting Effects problems at the moment.

     

    Try the various graphics processor options provided in the Edit - Preferences - Performance dialog, [Advanced Settings...] (and remember to close and restart Photoshop before testing).

    The documentation calls it a 64-bit gallery – can that work on the OP’s 32-bit windows 7?

    Yes, it can run in the 32 bit Photoshop on Windows...
