I'm having problems when saving images with the Lighting Effects filter. I can see the image at a certain distance but when I zoom in, try to save the file or open the file again, the image looks pure black. How can I fix it? It has never happened to me before the update to 2019.

Photoshop 23.5 (and pervious 23) Adobe removed 3D and Render Lighting Effects. Lighting has been a very important part of my profession work, I cannot understand why lighting effects have been removed, it is a separate technology from 3D effects. I will not upgrade to 23.5, I am forced to use earlier versions. I'm hoping non-Adobe people will offer a plugin soon.

Hi, prior to the arrival of 3D in Photoshop, Render Lighting used to be a separate technology.

With the arrival of 3D circa CS5, the render lighting filter was updated to make use of "real 3D" light behavior.

I would recommend to check the help document about 3D, https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/kb/3d-faq.html and maybe post a separate thread in the ideas section higlighting why render lighting is necessary in your workflow.

Hello In case you experience the same in CC 2020, make sure to update to 21.1.1 / its release notes lists the black lighting effects as being fixed: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues.html#photoshop-desktop-fixed-issues

I've been on the phone six times with Adobe CC 2020, each time I explained the same problem. Each tech took me through a number of fixes that did not work. Adobe finally told me that the lighting filter does not work and they are working on it. I also repeated myself six times explaining that the same thing happened with the release of CC 2019 which you are using. They could save customers time and trouble by simply stating they are attempting to fix the lighting filter. I have found one way to get the filter to work: Save your file, then quit and RESTART Photoshop. No tech told me this. You will loose your history however.

When you flatten the image...make sure you UNLOCK the background image before you try to apply the filter.

I believe this is a known bug, that Adobe will hopefully fix soon.

I have the same problem for several months now. It seems that the 21.0.2 version was more stable about that problem than the latest 21.0.3 and 21.0.1.

Try resetting the Lighting Effects filter. With the dialog open, press and hold the Alt or Option key on your keyboard.

The Cancel button will change to Reset. Click on Reset and wait. Lighting Effects should return to its defaults.

Let me know if that works.

Thank you for your help but it didn't make it work. I have the latest graphics card drivers. So, I don't know why that happens.

Then go into Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, checkmark Legacy Compositing. Restart Ps and let me know if that works.
