HSB/HSL Filter not available in CC 2014

Hi,
I have CC 2014..2.2 (20141204.r.310 x32) installed on a Windows 7 (32bit) machine. Wanting to use the HSB/HSL filter, under Filters > Other but it is greyed out. Have tried installing it from Downloadable content (plug-ins) After downloading the file I locate the OptionalMuliPlugin in the Optional Plug-Ins Win32 folder, in the Zip file, and double click on it to install. This opens Photoshop but then comes up with an error saying "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". Have also tried copying and pasting the OptionalMultiPlugin file into the Plugins folder at C:Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (32 Bit) > Plugins but this does not work either.
What am I missing?
Cheers
Mick 

The version you have installs the HSB/HSL plugin as part of its default/required set. If you can see it in the Filter menu, it's installed. There is no need to install anything else.
As for it being disabled when you attempt to use it, are you certain the active image qualifies in terms of bit depth, color mode, etc.?

  • HSB/HSL filter plugin won't stay loaded in Photoshop CC

    I downloaded the optional HSB/HSL filter into the Photoshop CC plugins folder per the instructions. However, when I open Photoshop CC, the filter is not available in Other Filters in the Filters menu which is where it's supposed to be. With Photoshop CC closed, I can double-click on the "Optional Multiplugin.8BF" file (that has the HSB/HSL filter). That causes Photoshop CC to open and puts the HSB/HSL filter in Other Folders in the Filters menu. However, if I close Photoshop CC then reopen it, the filter is gone. Yesterday I updated Photoshop CC to verson 14.2.1 but that did not fix the problem.
    Here is where the file is located on my computer:
    Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 bit)\Plug-ins\Optional Plug-ins Win64\Optional Multiplugin.8BF
    Is there some way to load the "Optional Multiplugin.8BF" file so that it stays permanently loaded in Photoshop CC?

    Yes, it turns out you're exactly right. I didn't realize I had a 32 bit version of Photoshop CC. My shortcut in my start menu was pointing to the 32 bit version. I re-pointed it to the 64 bit Photoshop CC and now the filter is where I expect it to be. Thanks for your help.

  • HSB/HSL Filter for CS6?

    Does anyboy know how to get the old HSB/HSL filter into CS6?
    I've tried to copy both the CS3 and CS5 version of that filter into the CS6 directory sturcture, but the filter does not appear. No errors, just no appearance under Filters.
    I have a handful of actions that use that filter to generate saturation masks. A number of forum threads have tried and failed to reproduce the equivalent saturation mask using available Photoshop functions.
    Maybe it will be there under "Goodies" when the official release is made, maybe not. Or maybe it's hidden in the Beta download, but I can't find it.
    Good news is that the few other custom filters I use work fine when simply copied from the CS5 directory to the CS6 directory. These are the Topaz products and Imagineomic Noiseware and Portraiture.

    Got it, thanks for making me look again.
    Had to RTFM to remember that with CS5 the HSB/HSL filter is bundled in a file called OptinalMultiPlugin.8BF.
    Previously I just used search for all filenames containing "hsb". Only found a 1KB file called "Adobe HSBHSL Filter CS5 Prefs" (no extension) in a folder called "Adobe Mondo Filter CS5" in the users "Roaming" folder tree. copied that to CS6 with no joy. Still don't know what that is.
    But copying the OptionalMultiPlugin.8BF to a plugin folder for CS6 works. The filter appears under the "Other" category and functions OK.
    For the fun of it, I counted 13 different Adobe CS5/CS6 "plugins" folders now on my system! Less fun trying to figure out which ones CS6 uses.

  • HSB/HSL filter plugin problem

    After downloading the HSB/HSL filter plugin as an 8BF file in the Plug-Ins folder, the error message "cannot complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" pops up. What am I doing wrongly?

    That is the type of error you would see if you double-click the 8BF file. The file type is associated with Photoshop, so if you double-click the file, Photoshop will attempt to open it as if it were an image. Plug-in files just need to be in the plug-ins folder at the time Photoshop is launched for the plug-in to be used in Photoshop.

  • Current User Filter not available in the Add Web Parts list - Sharepoint 2007

    Hi everybody,
    I'm trying to build a copy (or auto-populate) function on a list.
    I did all the coding changes, now I need to add a web part to my list called Current User Filter.
    Problem is, the Current User Filter is not in the Web Part list at all!
    How can I add it ? I looked in the Central Admin Panel and did not see anything.
    Thanks in advance!

    What version of SharePoint are you using?  I think that this is s MOSS webpart, so if you're using the WSS version of the product, you're probably out of luck.

  • Lighting effects filter not available on PScc - using windows 8.1 with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card

    I have Photoshop cc and Lightroom 5.5.  My computer runs windows 8.1, 64 bit, with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card.
    I am trying to use the lighting effects filter, but it is grayed out so I cannot select it.
    Can you tell me what I need to change in order to use the lighting effects filter?

    This is the Lightroom forum. I don't use the lighting effects very often in Photoshop. But if I recall correctly, it will only work on 8-bit images.

    On a Mac, in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014, when adding audio to an edit, i get the message "Could not complete your request, because Dynamiclink is not available".
    When performing the exact same operation in Adobe Photoshop CC, i can add audio in the same way, no error message. Any ideas to solve this, anyone? Would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried to update and it keeps telling me to get the Application Manager. And this is what happens
    Adobe Application Manager failed and it told me to download the Adobe Support Advisor.
    Adobe Support Advisor told me that there was an issue:" cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred. "Token Number: 40-87772-063201122012
    I followed the instructions it gave me to correct this issue:
    If you receive the error "Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again," do the following:
    #Restart the computer and try the installation again.
    #If the installation fails, delete the InProgress registry key:

  • Filter by "Result from another query" option not available in Webi

    Hi all
    I am trying to filter one query by zipcode based on the results of a previously run query in the same report. However this option is not available on the drop down when I drag zipcode into the filter pane. I am restricted to the options: Constant, Value(s) from a list, Prompt or Object.
    I have "use subqueries enabled" within my universe and the data is held in an RMDBS (i.e. it is not an OLAP universe) so I expected this functionallity to be available.
    I am using XI 3.2 and Java version 1.6.0.15, i.e. up to date.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sharon

    Sharon,
    Here is one method to achieve your objective, however, it involves the use of Merge Dimensions.  Here goes:
    In the Edit Query mode, build two queries, where the first query has all the objects, to include Zip code, and the second query has the zip code, filtered for the one at hand.  (you probably have done this portion already)
    In the Edit Report mode, think of your data set as Query1 (all the data objects you want) and Query2 (zip code and filtered on that zip code) and thus you'll have Query1.zip and Query2.zip.  If you build a grid containing all the data you want from Query1, then simply add Query2.zip to that grid, voila, the grid will be "filtered" due to the "merge" that occurs under the wire.  The 'problem' here is that you have two columns that are repetitive and there is no inherent way to "hide" a column in WebI other than masking the column with white on white (font/borders) or some folks sometimes apply Alterters to achieve the same.
    Best of luck in moving forward with your task.
    Thanks,
    John

  • Color Adjust Filter and Paint Bucket not available in CS3

    I recently noticed that Colors in the Filter menu is not available in my install of Illustrator CS3. I also noticed that the Paint Bucket tool is missing. Both appear to be in the Plug-ins folder in their respective folders (Illustrator Filters and Tools) but are not available in the program. I am using Mac OS X version 10.4.11 on a PowerPC G4 running at 1.6 GHz with 1 GB of SDRAM. I have the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium package.
    There may be other problems with my install, but these are the two things I notices. Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and how to fix it? I tried a re-install, but to no avail.

    Basically yes, but not quite. You may want to review the new features. The paint bucket was removed because it was, well, pointless in most cases. THe Live Paint tool is much more useful than the old Paint Bucket.
