Hi,

I'm having trouble finding certain filters I was using in PD17. I think they were called different variations of "Rays" like "Light Rays" and maybe "Edge Rays" and I don't remember which if any third party made them. Is that normal for these fx to just disappear?

Hi brianpk80 -

Here, in PDR18, there are no FX listed named "Rays" or "Edge Rays". There is one called "Light Rays", which is found under the Style tab or All Content.

There are various other related FX, but not under those names.

Cheers - Tony

Thank you, Tony.

It may have been a third party effect that was included in PD17 365. Some of the files I worked on earlier in the year have an effect missing when I load them now. One of the parts is supposed to look like this:

The effect you seek is in ProDad/Vitascene/Rays. I use it as a transition instead of an fx. Both work.

The screenshot said it all. Without it I would not have responded here.
