    I've been using Photoshop since Photoshop was born. But with these latest versions (over the past several years) I've become convinced that the Adobe techs who make these changes to the program never actually had to do any creative graphic design work in their life. Seems like they just have the ability to change stuff and so they do just because they can. Bring back the good ol' Photoshop 7 (or even 9) and leave well enough alone!  😉

      Currently Adobe has removed "lighting effects" and 3D features from photoshop 2024 ... We also facing the problem... i think next update it should be in there...

        Colin Smith has an excellent workaround for the now lost Lighting Effects tool on his Photoshop Cafe channel.  I'd say it is better than the original.

          Thanks @Trevor.Dennis , i don't think that gradient is an alternative for relight in photoshop.

            Did you watch the entire video?  It's actually significantly more powerful than the old Lighting Effects filter, but the bottom line is that's moot, because hanging on to aging version to be able to access the old filter, is not a good solution.

              It looks like that feature has been removed as has 3D features.

              @Derek Cross 

               

              Adobe recommends using Photoshop version 22.2 (from February 2021) if you need more stable performance with Photoshop’s 3D features. You can have more than one version installed. 

               

              Details here:
