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.

I never uninstall the older versions Mark. I've learnt my lesson earlier on.

Never uninstall the older Photoshop.

This is one of the bigger updates I've seen in awhile.

Rosa, did you submit a crash log with your email address? If not, please do. That will help me find it in the system and start tracking it down.

I've done that Eugenio. . . it's works for the Blend mode issue but not for the crashes in Filter-Render-Lighting Effects.

I've wasted valuable time going from one PS v to another. I'm going to stick with v 19.1.6.

Thanks anyway.

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

Hannah Nicollet  Hi Hannah, sorry for the ping back, but you've been so helpful and understanding in the past with PS new releases and bugs and I guess I'm reaching out hoping that you could pass the above bugs that I'm experiencing with PS cc v20 to the PS Engineers .

I'm grateful I didn't uninstall PS cc v19.1.6 because I was then able to compare behaviours in each app. I'm reading lots of different issues with the newest PS version and I totally understand how busy you must be.

I think from this point on that I'm going to continue using PS cc v19.1.6 until the new PS is updated with fixes - at least I can stop tearing my hair out. haha.

Warm regards
Rosa
