GPU functions are changing in Photoshop. Driven by OpenGL being deprecated in operating systems (or removed in the case of MacOS), Adobe are rewriting GPU graphics function to use the more modern Direct X and Metal. That is good for us in the long term but a massive undertaking for Adobe as it means rewriting the functionality at the very core of Photoshop.

3d and Render Lighting Effects, which is based on the same 3D engine, still use the Open GL GPU functions. So to use them you will need to g

Please see the Adobe article here for an update on 3D functions, which includes Lighting effects as in its current form that uses the 3D engine:

As customers ourselves (this forum is answered by volunteer Photoshop users) there is nothing we can add to that, or do to change that decision.

Old issue but still very much there.  Agian we get into the issue of being forced into paying for another subscrition to get simple things like a Normal Map or lighting effects.  Adobe NEEDS to stop being so damned greedy and take a close and serious look at what their loyal customers are saying.  And I am  still on 22.2  and will be until they break that too.  After that, perhaps it is time to look elsewhere, such a shame as I have been with Photoshop since it first came out.  Loyal I am but stupid I am not!

I was having the same issue found this in another feed here on the adobe support community. This fixed my issue for me.

Make sure you have the "Deactivate Native Cavas" is check marked under your preferences > Technology Previews

then restart PS.

My Version is 23.0.1

Also double check your Graphics Processer compatibility Check under the help menu

did not fix anything for me sorry to say, the only fix I can use is to stop upgrading, roll back to 22.2 and us it till they take that away too..  so in truth I am paying monthly for something I cannot use a current version of.  Intellectualy that makes no sense to me,  but having been with photoshop since it came out, I really do not want to look for maybe find, and learn a whole new program when in fact if Adobe was paying any sort of attention to these posts, they would clearly see how many folks are quite peeved with them these days..  But then I suppose if there are still folks willing to pay they will make their money and we don't really matter.
