P: Crashes when using the filter Lighting Effects

I'm just not happy with this version of PS - it's buggy and frustrating. 

  • When using Filter, Render, Lighting Effects PS crashes every single time. 
  • I've also reported on this forum the problems with the Adjustment Layers and using Blend  modes. They are not working as they should. 
  • The Constrain Link doesn't work. It's a bug. . . and yes I know that you don't hold Shift to maintain aspect ratio now but when you un-check the Maintain Aspect Ratio constrain link on the toolbar and then use transform it still maintains aspect ratio. . .  un-checking the link should disable aspect ratio shouldn't it? The shift key + transform disables aspect ratio but doesn't correspond with the constrain link on the tool bar.

Just to add my input, I am experiencing all the same issues noted by Rosa in her post which started this thread. I am running Ps on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS. Based on all the reports posted in this forum, PS version 20.0 is a very buggy release no matter the OS used.

Many business professionals depend on Adobe products for their livelihood. Adobe needs to step up their product evaluation process to avoid wasting their customer's valuable time. I vote for products stability over more features when a new version is released to the public.

I just followed a video about this filter (photoshop CC 2018) + dynamic object. https://youtu.be/8Gfx8JPpJrA 
and if the filter applied on a dynamic object, closes correctly, while in vcc2019, it does not close correctly !!!


If I use this filter in Photoshop CC 2018 (frenf version on macOS 10.14, when I close the filter interface, it automatically creates a 3D layer above the layer of the dynamic object used to launch the filter!


Je viens de suivre une vidéo parlant de ce filtre (photoshop CC 2018) + objet dynamique. https://youtu.be/8Gfx8JPpJrA

Si j'utilise ce filtre dans Photoshop CC 2018 (frenf version sur macOS 10.14 , lorsque je ferme l'interface du filtre, il se crée automatiquement un calque 3D au-dessus du calque de l'objet dynamique ayant servi pour lancer le filtre !


I specify, I reset the pref. from Photoshop

So there must be a problem in Photoshop

There are also sometimes craxh when you want to close the filter by OK ????


Je précise, j'ai réinitialisé les préf. de Photoshop

Il doit donc y avoir un problème sous Photoshop

Il y a aussi parfois des craxh lorsqu'on souhaite fermer le filtre par OK ????

Hi, if you go to Preferences > Performance, checking Legacy Compositing then restart photoshop maybe that will solve the issue.

No it's still the same behavior!

Weird. Not coming up for me. How long ago? Wonder if there's some latency. I will keep checking.
