876831 2010-04-15 07:05:00 Got me a bit annoyed over that last few months, for some reason Photoshop randomly stops responding and crashes whenever I use the lighting effects tool. Mainly with the spotlight but but it does happen with all the lighting effects after after I move them around a bit. It is a really frustrating problem because after it happens It's too late to save any work, so a lot of stuff has ended up vaporised because of this. any solutions VERY welcome as this is a problem that has me stumped and I dont really have any solutions for it.

Photoshop CS4 Extended, OS Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7600

(doubt it is a problem with system resources overloading but for the record AMD Turion X2 @ 2.0GHz with 3Gb RAM)

If nothing fixes it I guess ill have to wait ans see if CS5 fixes it

876832 2010-04-15 07:36:00 You mean the lighting effects filter?? If you do (and its the original file), it may have been a bug (forums.adobe.com).

Altho this relates to a mac, it may also apply to windows

Dont know if this will help (kb2.adobe.com). Since it says Intel / Nehalem processor CPU's

876833 2010-04-15 10:03:00 Fixed it with a simple update (when you find simple fixes like this you freel really stupid) so sorry, turns out to be a useless thread. thanks for the help anyway The Error Guy (14052)
876834 2010-04-15 10:05:00 An update of the program or the filter? Speedy Gonzales (78)
