I’m trying to use the Render:Lighting Effects filter but get this message:

"Could not complete the Lighting Effects command
because a requested property value could not be found."

Anyone have any clues as to what the deal is?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I did have a large clipboard item. When I cleared it, the plug in worked fine.

Thanks for the clue Doug.

Doug’s good sleuthing seems to have established a definite connection between problems with the Lighting Effects filter and a clogged clipboard.

Perhaps someone should add a note about this to the FAQs?

Even going back to systems as early as 6 (if I remember correctly) and even in programs as frivolous as word processors, I found that clearing up the clipboard prevented trouble down the road. My almost subconscious practice ever since has been to copy a single character or pixel a couple of times in quick succession after having loaded up a big chunk of data into the clipboard and finishing the paste or whatever operation I’m performing. It’s the low-tech but effective approach to purging the clipboard. 🙂
