Photoshop: Lighting Effects does not work  directly after upgrade  in PS 21.0. macOS and Windows

Further to the last updating of PS 21.0.0, this filter does not work any more.
None of the allowing cursors of it was changed not function, it is a huge decline since PS 20.x where he worked very well on pictures 8 as well direct bits as in smartobject!

Workarund :

Priorities, performances, it is necessary to check legacy Priorities, to restart PS, to test the filter, then they will be able to come back in priority by default which is this shot hut, they restart PS and my time, to me this works now correctly.

This only worked once for me. The second time I try to use lighting effects all I saw was a black screen (but it did show the handles)

Not sure why my post has been merged as my issue is with 3D preview rendering (although I do have the lighting effects issue also).
Preference reset and GPU driver update did not resolve the 3D issue

In V21 - GPU rendering is working incorrectly. The infinite light is reversed so shows black where the light falls and lighter in the shadows.

Test file available if required

Ray tracing works as expected and shows the scene correctly

I was seeing the same thing. I restored my prefs and seems to be working correctly now. Can you try moving your preferences file out and too the desktop and see if it works again for you?

Thanks. I've asked engineering to investigate.

On my Win 10 PC, lighting effects produce a black or extremly dark image most of the time. Unusable right now.
