I know the question sounds like the ones you get all the time but in PhotoShop cs6 I can access the filter>render>lighting effects but when I click the lighting effect tab nothing shows and when I watch a tutorial and people open filter>render>lighting effects a adjustable thing appears on the layer which they can edit but I can not do this. Any help?

The answer is even simpler than you think... You need to work in 8 bits mode to use the lighting effect. To do this select:

Image/mode/8 bits/channel

and it should work

Went to Preferences on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Early 2013)> Performance. The "Use Graphics Processor" was checked. I clicked the Advanced Settings button, changed the Drawing Mode to Basic, and retried it again... nothing. I tried some of the other solutions (e.g. went to images/mode and "8 bits/channel" was already selected. Tried seeing if my graphics card needed updated, but it has the current updates.

Out of options to get the Lighting Effects to work?
