Render lighting effects not working opens up darker in Photoshop

In the newest Photohop CC 2020, I can't seem to use Render lighting effects. In my old photoshop, I used spot quite often, but now (in 2020) I open it it is just dark. It does open to the lighting menu, but nothing changes on any of the settings or sliders except ambiance which only lightens the whole image. 

I thought this last upgrade might fix the issue, but apparently not.

@maraziwazi , did you try to disable the native canvas in Preferences/Technology preview, as stated in the 3D announcement?

I am having the same problem. I'm using ver 21.0.2 on a Mac (Mojave). I can get the controls by going to View-->Show-->Smart Guides when the Lighting Effects filter is enabled. However, changing the controls does nothing and the image just looks dark.

Hi All, 

 

This issue should be fixed in Photoshop February 2020 (version 21.1.0) release.

 

Please update to the latest version from the Creative Cloud desktop app. See https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues.html#photoshop-desktop-fixed-issues

 

Thanks,

Akash

I'm having this same issue. I tried the reset below, but it only worked for one image. What gives?

Which OS version are you using and is your display adapter device driver up to date?

Tried once more and this is what I get. These settings are what it opens with, however no slider works except ambience.

Can't someone give me a suggestion? Or are others having the same problem?

Hi there,

That does not sound good, could you share a screenshot here? It would be helpful for us to review the issue.

 

Also, could you please try enabling "Legacy compositing" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?

 

Regards,
Sahil

I have Legacy Compositing ticked.

As I launched photoshop 2020 to get a screen shot, I am now seeing some light, but no controls. I have 2 examples here 2018 and 2020 using the same settings

OK...I see my settings on Photoshop 2018 included 2 lights. I eliminated one and it is darker, but I still have more control and most importantly, contol points, How do I find control points (scale, move, etc)?  I think I could make it work if I could activate the controls.
