Apply the Lighting Effects filter

The Lighting Effects filter lets you produce myriad lighting effects on RGB images. You can also use textures from grayscale files (called bump
maps
) to produce 3D-like effects and save your own styles for use in other images.

The Lighting Effects filter works only on RGB images.

1. Choose Filter > Render > Lighting Effects.

2. For Style, choose a style.

3. For Light Type, choose a type. If you’re using multiple lights, select and deselect On to turn individual lights on and off.

4. To change the color of the light, click the color box in the Light Type area of the dialog box.

The Color Picker chosen in the General Preferences dialog box opens.
