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.
Note: The Lighting Effects filter works only on RGB images. You must have a supported video card to use Lighting Effects. For more information,
