CS5 Unavailable "Artistic Filters"

I recently thought it would be nice to generate some 'pencil sketch' filtered images for a project, but when I looked at an image (.psd) to manipulate, the option was grayed out. CS5 has been a great tool for me and I usually upgrade every other version release, so CS7 would be my next upgrade.
Did I miss something in the install way back when?
Is it fixable?
Is there another reason why this option is grayed out?
TIA
Jack

That was it! I was working in 16-bit. When I switched to 8-bit, the filters became available.

Ability to add artistic filters to HDR image created in CS5?

Hi,
I created an HDR image last night in CS5 but it wouldn't let me apply any of the artistic filters to it. Is that just not possible or must I do something else first in order to apply filters? It seems to work fine with HDR created in Photomatix...just wasn't working on the one I created in Photoshop.
Thanks for your help!

As I work around, I found that you can save the image off as a jpeg, then open that version to edit and you are able to apply any of the filters (artistic/brushstrokes/distort, etc.). If anyone knows of an easier way, please let me know.
Thanks!

No Artistic Filters PS CS5

Tried to use Artistic filters in PS CS5. Grayed out. Thought maybe I needed an update.Tried to get one. Got message to download a version of application manager. Followed instruction. Would not load, told to get Adobe Support Adviser. Clicked on the link. Got a page saying there was no longer such a thing as support adviser. Completely flummoxed.

Thanks for letting me know. That problem showed up a few days ago in these forums. It was a CMYK file, and like you the owner thought Photoshop "lost" the filters.
I'm glad to hear you back in business.

Photoshop CS3 Artistic Filters

I am applying Artistic filters to an image in Photoshop. Some of the filters are turning the image into a black and white image, for example, the "torn edges filter." And it then does not seem possible to change that layer into a colored layer. Other filters, such as "glass" leave the image its original color. Is it possible to use the torn edges filter without turning the image black and white?

Quote from the Help:
Torn Edges
Reconstructs the image so that it appears composed of ragged, torn pieces of paper, and then colorizes the image using the foreground and background colors. This filter is particularly useful for text or high-contrast objects.

Artistic Filters in CS3

Hi guys,
i have photoshop cs3 installed on several machines on a network. It all seems to work fine except the artistic filters. i can select a filter and preview it ok but when i apply them nothing happens, the filters will not apply. Help me please!!!

What kind of image format are you using them on?
Do they work with 8-bit rgb files?
If not try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Artistic filters not available for photo

Artistic filters greyed out for photo i am working with in CS5

What is the Color Mode and Bit-Depth of those Images?
What OS are you running, and what version of PS 32-bit, or 64-bit)?
Good luck,
Hunt

Artistic filters have disappeared from my CS2. Can you help me retreive them? Thank you very much.

Have you deleted your prefs?
From the Photoshop help files:
Restore all preferences to default settings
Do one of the following:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings.
(Mac OS only) Open the Preferences folder in the Library folder, and drag the Adobe Photoshop CS Settings folder to the Trash.
New Preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
If that does not work reinstall.

Many brush and artistic filters don't handle transparent pixels

I had made some text, then rasterized it and I was going to apply the sprayed stroke filter to rough it up, but it doesn't do anything. Seems this filter (and several others) can't alter a layer's alpha (transparency) channel. Is that supposed to be the case? I would've expected it to treat the alpha channel the same as the color channels. I don't have the channel transparency locked. There are workarounds for this, but I wondered if maybe anybody else had encountered this and knows if I'm doing something wrong.

Yeah, a lot of the older artistic filters don't handle transparency, or CMYK, or 16 bit/channel, etc.

Quick Question on 64-Bit PS CS5 & 3rd Party Filters

I assume that if one installs the 64-bit version of PS CS5 (or above), that all older 3rd party Filters/Effects will have to either be upgraded (if possible), or replaced by a newer one. Is that correct?
In Premiere Pro CS5, that is the case with all Effects, and CODEC's, but I am about to install PS CS5 on a new computer, and just want to verify my suspicions.
As I have a ton of older Filters, and many are now long gone from the market, if that is the case, I might then install both the 32-bit and 64-bit, or keep my older PS CS2 handy, just for those.
TIA,
Hunt

If you want to use a plug-in in the 64 bit Photoshop, then yes - a plug-in has to be compiled for 64 bit operation. There is absolutely NO WAY to use a 32 bit plug-in with 64 bit Photoshop and vice versa.
Photoshop normally installs both a 32 and 64 bit version on a 64 bit machine, and older plug-ins are generally compatible with the 32 bit version. I have some old ones I still use, and they're probably never going to become available on 64 bits.
I suggest that unless you have a DIRE shortage of disk space, you install both 32 and 64 bit Photoshop. There are some intangible reasons... Sometimes bugs in OpenGL drivers show up in one and not the other. In other cases sometimes you might want a slightly different configuration for one than the other (e.g., for testing). For a long time, for example, I kept my 32 bit Photoshop CS5 with OpenGL disabled, so I could easily test things both with and without OpenGL.
Again, if you don't lack disk space I recommend keeping the old Photoshop (CS2) around as well. Sometimes you remember that something used to work a certain way, and you want to go back and check...

Premiere CS5, Render with Filters/Plugins or Export with Filters/Plugins without Render???

Hey People, my Very First Question on Here,
Does anyone know if i use CS5 Premiere, and used a Plugin such as NeatVideo or even a Filter, do i first need to render the file before i export or can i just add the plugin make the changes and export to a file format of my choice.?

Great Thanks for this, i used Canopus Eduis 5 to edit this footage from AVCHD to Canopus HQ. Then Exported the file to a Uncompressed AVI RGB File and Imported into Adobe Premiere CS5, Applied the Neat Video Filter, Setup it up and Now its ready for Export. But you have Said i Can Export Without Render and It shoul dbe fine. Which is Good. As Render would have taken 55Hours on my Intel i7 X980 CPU with 12GB Ram. Export will Take about 42Hours into a AVI File.
Thanks for you help if you think of anything else to sace time please message me.

I can't find the artistic filters in PS 2014.

I'd still love to use them occasionally, but I have to revert to an older version to use them. Are they available in another Adobe program now?
Thanks.

They seem to be under Filter menu > Filter Gallery... Unless you mean something else.

Want to posterize, but Filter Artistic greyed out in PS CS5

OK, I'm stumped. Want to posterize an image from Lightroom 5.4. Sent it to Photoshop CS5 using Lightroom's Edit In command. When I try to select Filter > Artistic to posterize, Artistic is greyed out and I can't select it.
Same thing happens with both *.tif and ^.psd formats.
What do I need to do to get this to work?
Thanks.
Mark

Posterize would be under adjustments.
And the artistic filters are part of the Filter Gallery, which only works for RGB and Grayscale images in 8 bits/channel, and up to 30,000 pixels on a side.
The file format doesn't matter - the image size and mode are what matters.

CS5 Can't See Filters

I just had to reinstall Photoshop CS5. Now I can't load (old) Kodak filters.
CS5 sees the Kodak folder, but the filters don't show up in the list.
The filters are:
1. DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In 2.1
2. DIGITAL ROC Professional Plug-In 2.1
They are 32 bit filters, so I am loading them to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Kodak\
I've tried installing them directly to the above folder.
I've tried installing them to where Kodak wants to put them and then moving them to the above folder.
I've tried installing them to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Filters
instead of \Plug-ins\Kodak, still no joy.
Each time I restart CS5 (32), it sees the Kodak folder but not the .8bf files.
I even reloaded the originals from Kodak. CS5 doesn't see the filters.
Thanks,
Drew

The significant file from the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Kodak\DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In 2.1
folder is DigitalAIRProV2.8BF. It is neither Read-only nor Hidden.
The same is true for the significant file in the other problem folder.
I'm not sure what I'm looking for in
C:\Users\Drew\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Plugins
The folders contained therein have nothing to do with user installed filters.
I can manually add
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Kodak\
as an Additional Plug-Ins Folder. That makes no difference. (It shouldn't be necessary because the root:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins
is the default.)
The NoiseNinja plug-in located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\NoiseNinjaPlugin_Win32
works just fine.
So, why not the Kodak filters?

I am using Photoshop as external editor but can't use all the filters

Hi,
I have just started using Aperture and have set-up photoshop CS2 as the external editor. I'm trying to add film grain to some of my images using the artistic filters. If I open one of my RAW (EOS 5D) images in Bridge once open in CS2 all the filters are available for use.
If I select a RAW image in Aperture and use the open with external editor feature, once the image is launched in CS2, half the filters are unavailable. Why is this and how do I over come the problem? Is it because Apertur opens the file in a funny format?
Many thanks in advance for your help

a few filters will (or have already) changed in cs3, however most remain the same in terms of 8 vs 16 bit. filters who are based on the rgb channels will be "grayed out" in the filters menu if an image has 16bit colours (regardless of tiff or psd of course).
