Thanks for your reply.

 

It seems work now, after pressing "D" to restoring the colour swatches but how come only "Sktech " effect only works when it is " original black and white colour swatches? 

 

thanks a lot

"Sketch" and many of the other filters use the foreground and background colors — they don't have to be B&W. We didn't see original colors, but it looked like they were both very pale. The filter worked correctly, but you didn't like it. (Neither did I!)

 

Experiment with other colors. Try blue & white or green & yellow to see what happens, then choose two colors that work for you.

 

If you have a Smart Object and are working non-destructively, you can delete the filter. If you don't have a Smart Object and are working destructively, choose Undo after each experiment.

Would you be able to also add a screenshot that shows your Layers panel showing what you had selected when you went to apply the filter?

Most filters use your foreground and background colors. 

  • Press Cancel to close the Filter dialog
  • Type "D" (the shortcut for restoring the default foreground and background swatches)
  • Try the filter again

 

Pro tip: create a Smart Object first if you want to edit the filter later; otherwise the filter is destructive editing.
