make sure your working in RGB, lighting effects will only work in the 8bit rgb

i have rasterized the type, and added the gaussian blur, but when i go to filter/render i cant select the lighting effects button. its all grey. any help? and yes, i did select rasterize type

[kaikarden]

make sure you have the text layer that you rasterized selected. i know it seems like a silly error, but it happens to me all the time.

@kaikarden I cant click light effects either.

Thank you for this tutorial. I followed every step, got a very good result, and will be using it for video/tv graphics.
