The 3D menu doesn't appear on my Photoshop CS6 extended.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate (Version 6.1)

Any ideas about what is going on?

+ should I try and download Intel® HD Graphics Driver for Windows 7* and Windows 8* (exe)??

Report · Feb 19, 2013

never mind I can't download Intel® HD Graphics Driver for Windows 7* and Windows 8* anyway

Report · Feb 19, 2013

You'll need to contact Intel and work with them to identify the cause of the crash in your video card driver.

They may have a beta driver that fixes the problem already.

Thank you so much! This helped my exact problem.

I've seen several posts on different forums, refering to the 3D capability of Photoshop not working when trying to create 3D Text.
Ensure that your document is in RGB Colour Mode.
3D will not work if you've created or opened a CMYK document.

yeh19478121 your 3D functions are not working because you are not using a genuine licenced copy of Photoshop. Adobe do not sell, and have not sold, a Perpetual licence for Photoshop CC. I cannot help you further.

I am from Myanmar, how can I buy this

Report · Oct 09, 2017

Hi

I don't work for Adobe - the only reference I found in a quick search is attached below. That suggests in Myanmar CC for teams is available via resellers but not CC for individuals (or teams via Adobe.com).

I didn't know what to do to get my 3d tool to appear and then I came across your post and it saved me! Thanks for the help!

The 3D menu was greyed out on my computer only because I was trying to use the 3D option on a png. I do have CS6 Extended Photohop. I tried using the 3D option on text and the menu was not longer greyed out and I could use the 3D features. If you are trying to use the 3D menu on a png your image needs to be in RGB mode.

3D menu doesn't appear - Photoshop CS6 extended
