    Thanks for posting the screen shots. Anyone else who is having issues should post their card specs so that when Radomir signs on, he can get the info quickly and answer your questions.


    OK, I seemed to have solved my particular issue and I think it is a bug.

    Here is what I did.

    I disabled "Use Graphics Processor" quit PS

    Restarted PS and re-ticked it.

    Quit & Restarted again and BINGO! The options for Tree and Photoframe was there.

    Please try this if you are having the same problem.

    Hi.

    I have Nvidia GTX 1060 and the solution for me was to open a new blank document with default settings and DPI 72.

    Maybe that is the problem? Tree generating was not available in resolution of 3023x3023 pixels with 150 DPI.

    Try to lower your DPI or generate objects into a blank sheet.

    Cheers.

    Go to Filter > Render > Lighting Effects and activate it. If all goes well Tree, Frame and Flames should be active as well.

    When I was using the Photoshop CC trial version, I could use the 'tree & frame' but after I purchased the software, those are greyed out.  Not a happy camper.

    You can activate it. Here's how:

    File > New (make a new file)

    3D menu > New Mesh from Layer > Postcard

    When your layer is created, try Filter > Render > Tree   If it works, close the file.

    When you open a new or existing file. Filter > Render >Tree, Flame and Frame should now be active.

    Let me know either way.

    Hello all. My Laptop is a 32bit Windows 7 System with Nvidia 9600M GS 512MB.

    I work with Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.2.1

    The fact is, i saw the Tutorial of the Creative Cloud about Fill and Script Pattern. So where is the Tree?

    I tried everything you guys wrote and there's still no Tree to choose.

    I started my Adobe Photoshop CC and there it is, a Tree to choose a Tree to use and i had a Tree without leaves.

    Many things changed with the update, so please tell us, where did you put the Script Patterm stuff?

    I don't see these options for these patterns either.  Turning off/on 3D in PS did not fix the issue.   My graphics card is a 2011 AMD Radeon 6970M 2GB.

    I recently discovered these features and would love to try them, but neither Picture frame nor Tree appears in my dialog as an option. My laptop is less than a year old and was top-of-the-line when I got it. I've tried the uncheck/restart/check/restart thing and the 3d mode fix but neither helped. Any ideas?

    Processor  2.6 GHz Intel Core i7

    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB

    Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)

    Cheers,

    I also have the same issue. I am using a 2010 MacBook Pro with Nvidia 320M chip. The workaround did not work out for me. Do I need a new computer now (I plan on buying a new Retina Macbook Pro as soon as updates are released, but wanted to see if I finally replace my CS5 with CC

    I have this same problem and I know it is because of my Intel Graphics card.   The ATI Radeon HD 5570 is recommended for my PC, will this fix the gray-out problem if I buy this?

    The ATI Radeon HD 5570 will be fine as long as it has 512 MB or more of video memory. Looking at the web they seem to come with 1GB by default, so you will be fine.

    i couldnt find a solution.for me tree and frame is also not working.

    win 7 64 bit, 2gb ram, NVidia card (geforce 435m),latest CC version (German)

    disable and enable graphics processor solution didnt work.and 3D is working.

    language shouldnt be the problem too.i saw german tutorials using this script.

    if nobody has any new idea,propably i (we) have to wait for an update

    Perhaps this will do it for you, worked for me after nothing else would...

    Quote from a post by Radomir, "Start Ps, try to create a 3D layer, then undo or create a new document and then try the Fill."

    I did exactly this and viola, now have trees and frames!!!
