Good afternoon,

Photoshop 7.01
Windows XP Professional
Logged in as Administrator
Photoshop installed under Administrator

Why can’t I access the Lighting Effects filter styles? The roll down is blank.

If I create a style and try to save it I get "An error occurred while trying to save the style."

Many thanks,

Jonathan

Check Mode and bits. Some lighting effects are not available in CMYK, and lighting effects are not available for 16 bit images regardless of Mode..

Thanks Sanders, I have made sure RGB and 8 bit is set – still no joy.

I am having exactly the same problem. It has cropped up before on this group but I have not found a cure for it yet. I also have PS 5.5 and PS Elements on this computer and both programs have the same problem with the Lighting effects dialogue box, so I am taking a wild guess that the problem may be in the registry.
Sorry not to be any help Jonathan, but at least you now know that you are not the only one with this problem.
Geoff.

Thanks Geoff

I have just reinstalled PhotoShop 5 on a different Windows XP Prof. machine – same problem.

The plot deepens.

I found the answer, by searching Adobe’s User to User Forum I came up with this:

"found that by checking the allow indexing checkbox it may correct the problem. "
"I already had this box checked. However, when I unchecked the box marked "folder is ready for archiving" things worked fine."

On my system, by checking the allow indexing checkbox on the Filters folder, my problem was solved.

Thanks to those who responded.

That’s solved the problem for me also, thanks. I had to change each of the Filters folders for 5.5, 7, and elements. A very odd way to solve the problem.
