Hey folks; maybe someone can help me. For some reason, my render/lighting effects/flashlight style has disappeared. In it's place is a 'five lights up' style. Adobe doesn't even list that on their site. The 'flashlight' style was there previously and I used it numerous times to create digital photo backgrounds. Can someone email me just this one style?

Yeah, I'll probably have to do that. I have a bunch of extra plugins though and I'll have to reinstall all of them also. :(

I can't see how a Lighting style can simply disappear. Lighting Styles are installed in the following default locations, depending on the version installed:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\Filters\Lighting Styles

or

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Filters\Lighting Styles

Both locations should have 17 Lighting Styles in the folder. If they are all intact I would suggest resetting the Lighting Styles by deleting the Plug-in Preferences file. In Windows Vista or Windows 7 its located at: C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\A​dobe\Plugins\Adobe Lighting Effects CS4\Photoshop\Lighting Styles

When you open up that lighting effects box, are you clicking drop down box at the top? Mine says Default on Cs2. Drop down allows choices of other effects.
