Using "Filters" how can I activate Artistic, Brush Strokes, Texture, etc.

Please help.  I am a novice at using PS. 
I want to change some photos to give it a true impressionistic, watercolor, neon-like look.  When I scroll down the Filter menu, how do I activate "Artistic, Brush Strokes, Texture, etc."?  They are grey and inactive.
Am I going about this in a wrong way?  Is there another tool I can use?  Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Are you saying there is no way to do it with a 16-bit image?  I would also like to use these effects on a certain image, particular the gun shown in this product.  I want to make it look a lot more attractive, but I too have not been able to utilize these important Photoshop effects.  There has to be a way to do this, there's always a way in the world of computers.

    How can I change a brush stroke to a pencil stroke after I've drawn it? Is this possible?

    h,
    As I (mis)understand it, (in effect) just by clicking the Reduce to Basic Appearance button in the Appearance palette (and setting the desired Stroke Weight, if different from 1pt).
    The Pencil Tool creates a uniform width path like the Pen Tool, producing Anchor Points like the Artbrush Tool. So when you reduce to basic appearance you will get a path corresponding/identical to the one you would create with the Pencil Tool.

  • How can I change a brush stroke after it is drawn?

    I cannot make good pen lines with a thick stroke. It gets all out of wack. Is it possible to make my lines and change them afterwards?

    Hi My Dream,
    I have a few questions. Which tool are you using? Are you using the brush? If so, you can manipulate the width of your lines using layer styles. Please note that these styles will affect the entire layer, not just an individual stroke.
    1) Here I have a stroke that I drew with the brush tool.
    2) In the Layer Palette, click on the button that says "FX" to show the layer style options. Select "Stroke".
    3) Change the settings as desired.
    4) Match the colors to the original stroke.
    Good luck, and I hope this answers your question.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    Hi AndrewHISC
    We would need to cancel one of the subscriptions and then you could sign up again using another ID.
    Let me know if you wish to proceed with this.
    Kind regards

    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, then turn on the data you want to sync with iCloud.  Also turn on My Photo Stream and Photo Sharing in Settings>iCloud>Photos if you want to use photo stream, Find My iPhone and iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup if you want to use these.

  • HT5569 i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    Cannot connect an iPhone to cable, Ethernet or any other wired network media. But since I assume you want to activate the phone so it works as a phone thru some carrier, you can activate it thru that carrier's data link. Just make sure you have a data plan in the contract or pay-as-you-go SIM.

  • How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.

    We are on BW 3.5 and I'm loading data into the 0FIGL_O10 ODS  and then uploading the data into the cube 0FIGL_C10. The data loads just fine to the ODS but when I try to <u><b>'update the data target'</b></u> I get a date & time stamp' error on the info-package transfer rules.
    I then Replicate the datasource 80FIGL_O01.
    I must then <u><b>'activate' the transfer rules</b></u>.
    However I cannot get the transfer rules for 80FIGL_O10 in CHANGE MODE to activate them.
    How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.
    The error text is as follows:
    DataSource 80FIGL_O10 has to be replicated (time stamp, see long text)
    Message no. R3016
    Diagnosis
    DataSource 80FIGL_O10 does not have the same status as the source system in the Business Information Warehouse.
    The time stamp in the source system is 02/15/2007 10:42:33.
    The time stamp in the BW system is 11/07/2006 13:11:54.

  • How can I activate my Photoshop CC?

    When downloading PS CC, in order to install it, i got a lot of times 'download is corrupted' warnings and had to do it again. After that a lot of 'expansion is not possible' alerts showed up.
    Instaling was no problem but activation was not possible because "this ID was allready used twice on other machines'
    In fact I had installed it only on this same PC, after a short time it broke down and I changed motherboard and processor, so I lost my PS CC installation.
    How can I activate my PS CC or how can I get rid of the 2 activated PS CC activation that don't excist
