Photoshop CC Sketch Filter Gallery's whiting out - help!

In my filter gallery sketch settings, only chalk & charcoal, conte crayon, note paper and water paper seem to be working. With any other of the sketch gallery filters the entire image becomes a plain white background. Anyone have any idea what/why is happening?

Reset your foreground and background colors.
Those filters use your foreground and background colors, and if both colors are the same - the result won't be too interesting.

  • Want to apply poster edges to a smart object layer, but Filter Gallery is greyed out?

    Working a Photoshop tutorial on an image.  I want to apply poster edges to a smart object layer, but Filter Gallery is greyed out.  Filter Gallery is also greyed out for all other layers in this project.  (PhotoShop CC)

    Hi Filter Gallery,
    Please click on the image tab at the top and choose mode from 16bits/channel to 8bits/channel.
    Then check if the filter gallery is still grayed out.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

  • Photoshop 11 sketch filter photocopy not working

    Photoshop 11 sketch filter photocopy not working.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    You have posted in the wrong forum. You have posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing focus) instead of Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing focus). And, then I am assuming that you meant Photoshop Elements 11 and not Photoshop 11.
    Please repost your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

    While you are waiting for your thread to reach the Photoshop Elements Forum destination, I would ask
    a. How is the Sketch/Photocopy Filter not working - you click on Photocopy and nothing happens...you click on Photocopy, the Photocopy workspace comes up, but the sliders do not function....or other?
    I also have Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 64 bit and have no problems with the Photocopy Filter.
    By the way, did you know that the results will depend on how you have Color Foreground and Background set?

  • CS6 FILTER GALLERY is grayed out. I re-loaded CS6 but still grayed out.

    I've been using CS6 since it came out and this has never happened.  Don't know what to do about it.  Thoughts?

    Many filters work only on 8-bit images, so the filter gallery would be grayed out if you had, say, a 16-bit image open and selected.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 (same happens in illustrator). Filter gallery (not greyed out, file is regular 8bit rgb) will not work. Error message "the operation could not be completed". Tried throwing out preferences etc.

    Anyone know why this happened after last photoshop update?

    Type Terminal in Spotlight (The magnifying glass or to the right of your name on the Mac menu bar) and double click it to start it up.
    Copy and paste the command at the prompt ($) and it should look like this. Press Enter, type your password, then Enter again.
    What I'm think is that if the permissions of the App Support folder were altered, that might explain why things are refusing to work properly
    It's an idea, it won't hurt anything, and if we are lucky it will fix the problem.

  • How to activate sketch in filter gallery?

    The sketch section in my Filter Gallery are grayed out. Please provide me with the steps to activate it again. Thanks. x

    Which version of Photoshop?  What sort of image file are you working on?  What does it say if you go Menus > Image > Mode?  If it is in 32bit for instance, then a lot of your filters won't work.
    Have you tried opening an RGB photograph and looking for your filters?  If you are using Photoshop CC, look in Preferences > Plugins, and make sure 'Show all filter gallery goups and names' is checked.

  • Does anyone know why the Filter Gallery is not appearing in Photoshop CC since I updated to Creative Cloud 2014

    Hi. I am not an experienced user of Photoshop however I have always been able to access the Filter Gallery to add filters to my images. Today I went in to PS CC to work on an image and found the Filter Gallery selection greyed out - so you can't click on it to load up the different types. Is this now an plug in - of which I do not understand these either.  I am from Australia so any help locally appreciated. Adobe's chat line is closed at present to ask this question.

  • Why isn't filter gallery available in 16 bit mode?

    I'm using CS 6 is on a Mac running OS 10.8.5.
    I scanned an image using Image Capture which turned it into a tiff. I opened the tiff in Photoshop and discovered that Filter Gallery was grayed out.
    I opened an older Photoshop tiff and looked for differences. The older one, wherein filter gallery was available, was an eight bits per channel document. The new one is 16 bits per channel. When I changed the new one to eight bits per channel, Filter Gallery became available.
    If my (extremely limited) understanding of the  technology is correct, there is more information in 16 bits per channel and hence presumably a richer quality image. On general principle of course I'd prefer not to lose any richness. Is there some way I can get Photoshop to give me access to the filter gallery in a 16 bits per channel mode?

    The filters in question have never been written to work on 16-bit files.
    That's just reality.
