I am experiencing 3 problems with photoshop

 

  1. When I add a text and I want to go to filter gallery and add HALFTONE to add lines on my text It doesn’t apply it 
  2. All of my blend modes when i hover on them it either turn them white or black and that's it 
  3. when I want to make a text transparent after I added effect (changing the R,G,B Channels to make a cool effect) it instantly turn it black and if i want to make the background black or other colors it fully cover the entire text. 

Its so weird because previously it worked perfectly but when I try to do another one this happen. I tried everything from Uninstalling photoshop, Adobe cleaner tool, to graphics card updates but nothing would work

    A Layer’s Blend Mode determine its effect on the background content. 

    So please insert/show some background pixel content if you want to utilise Blend Modes.

    Which Colors did you set (in the Toolbar) before applying the Filter Gallery?
