Filters on Photoshop

How do I reinstall filters on Photoshop. Many are missing (grayed out)

Disabled (grayed out) is not the same thing as missing.
And reinstalling won't change the reason that they are disabled.
Check the color mode and bit depth of your document (remember that many of the filters only work in 8 bit RGB or Grayscale).

KPT Filters For Photoshop

I've already asked Corel about this with no results. I've been using KPT filters with Photoshop for years. I bought a new Mac Pro and discovered my version of PS wouldn't work so I upgraded to PS CS 3. The only filters that won't work are the KPTs.
I reinstalled them and did drag them into both the Filters and Plug-in folders with no good results.
Dose anyone have and idea how to make them work or do they join the Dead Applications Society?
TIA

Hi
You'll probably find it isn't CS3, it's because you now have an Intel Mac. I have KPT filters on my G5 (the ones with Fluid, Lightning, FraxFlame II etc). Tried them on an Intel Mac mac and they won't enable.

Animate filters in Photoshop CS3 - possible?

I know this is not the right forum for this question. There is some filter effects in PS CS3 that I want to animate. One way could be to copy the filters and try to use them inside AE CS3, but it would be cool to really learn what is possible to do inside PS. Could this be done?
Regards / Jimmy

You cannot use PS filters in AE. That functionality was removed as of AE 6 due to Photoshop's filter architecture undergoing massive changes at the time that could not be accomodated. Perhaps it will resurface some day (it's a high-priority wish for quite a number of users). You can however use the filters with Photoshop's batch processing and video layers, but only with static settings. For animating filter parameters you will have to dig into BridgeTalk/ Photoshop scripting so you can change parameters on an image-by-image (or frame-by-frame, if you will) basis, but obviously this will take time to learn or find nice peopel versed in that art who are willing to share their knowledge.

Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4?

What happened to the Extract and Pattern Maker filters in Photoshop CS4? Are they gone or placed somewhere else?

Hi guys,
I might be an old fart! But I love extract... Are there any other way to make transparent pixels on the edges on the object you want cut out?
Personally I cry at night for the semi-loss of Extract! This means that Adobe wont improve it any more and with time the filter might be all gone!?!
cheers

Nik Filters Crashing Photoshop CS4??

I have been using Nik filters since they first came out. When Google took over I townload the whole free suite they offered. Than I was 'force fed' Nik Analog and it slowed all of my Nik filters down, and since then I have had periods of tremendeous slow down. then a couple of days ago, whenever I opened an image in Color Efexs I would get an error message and Photoshop would close down.
Then yesterday I would get the following 'pop up' messages also - but this time it happened every time I tried to open any file in Photoshop. That is, my Photoshop CS4 is not usable.
I also have CS3 on my computer and it works fine. I went ahead and installed Silver Efex Pro 2 and Color Efex from my original discs and they work fine.
Google sent me the latest Nik Filter collection today, but I am not able to install it past this point, even if I have my anti-virus temporarily disabled.Also I cannot cancel or close it and I can only get out of it by forcing a computer restart.
I am thinking that I will try a 'System Restore' next, and if that does not work, re-install Adobe Creative Suite CS4 from my disks.
If anybody has any thoughts on this or experienced something similar, I would greatly appreciate any input.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM and 500 GB of hard-drive with 275 GB of Free Space.
Many thanks,
christian

Thank you - yes I have done that, and as of right now I can't install it - as per my last screen shot above. Nik/Google suggested I go into Safe Mode and try it that way. Will do that.
Do you think updating the plug-in will actually make Photoshop CS 4 function again?
Going through this process I uninstall the Google/Nik Filter plug-in, but my CS 4 still crashes - see the first screen shot above.
Many thanks!

Why did some of the filters in Photoshop Elements 11 stopped working?

Hi,
I can't use some of the filters (comic, pen and ink) in Photoshop Elements 11 (for Mac) since yesterday. They worked perfectly before... I have tryed to reset the default preferences, but it didn't give any result.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Many thanks!

Okay, this is where it gets tricky. I don't have mavericks since I have a printer that won't work if I install it, so I can't tell you what, if anything, has changed, but in previous versions of OS X you would go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Settings
Now that library was hidden in 10.7. and 10.8 and I don't know about 10.9. In Lion and Mountain Lion you got to it by clicking the Go menu in the Finder and holding down the option key. Then it appeared below your user account in the list. If you can find it, while you're in that library, also delete any saved application states for PSE. Then repair permissions again before using it. But I don't know for sure that the file structure in 10.9 is the same.

Pixel bender filters in Photoshop Panel

Hello,
I'm writing a suite of Photoshop filters with PixelBender and would like to know if there is a way to call them from a Photoshop Panel built with Configurator without embedding these filters in a flash panel.
I tried to build a panel with configurator, but in the filters menu, PIXEL BENDER doesn't show. So, I guess I will have to build a flash panel which is close to Chinese for me (read http://forums.adobe.com/message/37408).
Am I out of luck?
Thanks!
Enrique

Use a 'Run JavaScript' button from ACTIONS/SCRIPTS section of Configurator.
Then use/modify the following code:
try{
var idPbPl = charIDToTypeID( "PbPl" );
    var desc636 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idKnNm = charIDToTypeID( "KnNm" );
    desc636.putString( idKnNm, "Kaleidoscope" ); /*modify the name of your pixel bender filter*/
    var idGpuY = charIDToTypeID( "GpuY" );
    desc636.putBoolean( idGpuY, true );
    var idFPth = charIDToTypeID( "FPth" );
    desc636.putString( idFPth, "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Pixel Bender Files/kaleidoscope.pbk" ) /*modify the path to your filter*/
executeAction( idPbPl, desc636, DialogModes.ALL );
}catch(e){
     /* catch user cancellations */
I have it so the default settings are populated and the Pixel Bender dialog is shown (DialogModes.ALL). You could use the scripting listener plug-in to populate specific settings and/or not show the dialog (DialogModes.NO)

So they removed Pattern maker, and the Extract filters from Photoshop CS4

Personally I hardly ever used these, but did occasionally. I was wondering how this is going to affect others?
I don't see how removing two items from the filters menu makes much difference to anything. Maybe its more of a launch time issue, although I'm not sure that taking functionality away just to have fraction of a second faster launch, is a little daft.
They are still included on the CD, but this is going to inconvenience me if I ever need them in a freelance role. There were problems with both of them: When I first saw extract, it was almost as if the engineeers themselves hadn't woken up to non destructive editing. And pattern maker lacks the most obvious features, and doesn't perform particularly well. They are also both slow and cumbersome to use.
But
they do have other occasional uses beyond what they were (admittedly quite badly) designed for, especially pattern maker for reintroducing sampled texture sourced from the image. I don't see much replacement for this

Regarding "Extract" and "PatternMaker":
If you really need them right now, just add the CS3 plug-ins into CS4 they will work as they always have.
Actually, John Nack has stated that those old plug-ins will be downloadable from the Adobe site if you need them.
>We've bitten the bullet with this release and have sent a number of features into retirement. Extract, Pattern Maker, Web Photo Gallery, Contact Sheet, Picture Package, and PDF Presentation have been removed from the default installation.
>
The latter four have been replaced by the Output module in Bridge CS4, and our intention is to replace Extract with features inside Photoshop (building on Refine Edge & more). All of these except PDF Presentation will remain available as optional installs (to be posted on Adobe.com), but over time they'll be phased out.
[Emphasis mine.]

Why don't I have access to all of my filters in Photoshop?

I bought the Master Collection CS5. In my Photoshop I used to have access to all the filters. Now about 2 years later all of a sudden I don't have access to all the filters. Anyone know whats going on or how to fix this?

Hello,
It could be something simple like you are in CMYK or a High Bit mode. Go Image>Mode and see if the filters become available if you choose RGB and 8 Bits/Channel.

Graphic Novel Filters in Photoshop Creative Cloud?

Hello,
Will the Graphic Novel, Comic, and Pen and Ink filters introduced in Photoshop Elements 11 being coming to Photoshop CC? I used these quite often with the trial of PS Elements 11, but now that I have a CC subscription, I miss those features.
So I guess my question is, is there anyway to migrate those over to the full version of PS?

Thankyou for the reply. I would definetly be interested in learning how to replicate those filters.
This is the effect of the 'graphic novel' filter: http://www.twistingpixels.graphics/tutorials/2013/6/12/the-graphic-novel-filter-photoshop- elements-diamond-in-the-rough
'Pen and Ink' in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFEp7f_KbZ4
and 'Comic': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUmKtttJ4J8 (I realize this one is very similar to the 'cutout' filter in full version of PS)

Adding Nik filters to Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 CC

I've just recently installed Photoshop CC and LIghtroom 5 CC. My Nik filters aren't showing up on my dropdown menue in PS, and only ColorFX shows up in LR. What do I need to do to make them appear?

This question is asked and answered regularly in the Photoshop forum.

How do I include gradation filters in Photoshop CS4?

I used to posses coloured gradation filters for my camera, but unfortunately no more and would like to imitate this effect on some images using Photoshop CS4. I have heard that it is possible to include these but don't know how. Can anyone help please?

Create a color gradient on a layer, set the layer blend mode to multiply - then adjust opacity to taste.
Or use the photofilter adjustment layer and add a gradient to the layer mask.

Scripting PixelBender filters for Photoshop CS4

Does anyone know if it is currently possible to access PixelBender filters within your scripts (using the ExtendScript Toolkit)? If so, how would I go about doing so? If not, are there any plans to add scripting support for PixelBender filters to the Photoshop DOM?
NB: I've also posted this in the Photoshop Scripting forum
Just to give some context to my query, I want to create a PixelBender filter that can be embedded within an AIR application to allow users to play about with applying different filters to their images... this AIR app will be able to export a set of values (that correspond to a given filter's parameters) that can be passed to another AIR app that instructs Photoshop to re-generate the same filter effect (via SwitchBoard). The goal is to achieve consistent results between the two apps.
Many thanks,

The Pixel Bender Gallery extension is a live filter and should be accessible via ExtendScript, but I haven't tried it... So, theoretically, yes, but I can't say I've done it myself.

Intermittant greying out of filters in photoshop cs4?

Greetings everyone
This is probably a stupid question but why does photoshop occasionally grey out some of my filters?
Its often when i have a vector smart object [ie imported from IL], but even if i rasterize it, the filters remain grey and unusuable. not sure what convert for smart filters is meant to do - does anyone know? doesn't seem to do anything for me.
at the bottom of the page i have enclosed a picture of my problem
i'm stumped here and heap thanks upon you in advance
