I downloaded the new version this morning and do not see the oil paint filter in my filters.  I restarted my computer, I also downloaded the newest version of my graphics software, but no luck.  Any suggestions?  thank you.

    I did the opposite – checked OpenCL to make Oil Paint active.


    Hi

    Yeah this is actually a OpenCL requirement of Oil Paint.

    IT requires OpenCL 1.2

    If your graphic card supports that OpenCL, it should work.

    Does this mean if your graphics card is not able to support Open CL then no matter what the oil filter won't work..My card is about 6yrs old and a Nividia GeForce 3...can't remember rest of the numbers but it is not a GeForce 640...I can't afford a new graphics card so is there any other way to have oil filter?

    I also tried the Open CL idea, no luck, it is still grayed out. FYI I also just installed the update on my MacBook Pro and the new Oil Paint Filter it works fine there under Yosemite.

    I have the same problem. Oil Paint Filter is grayed out on newly updated PS today. Windows 7 machine. Thoughts?

    Made sure I'm in 8 bit also, restarted, etc.

    Try this

    Open Photoshop.

    Go to Edit -> Preferences  -> Performance (Windows) 

    Under Graphic Processor Settings

    Click Advanced and uncheck OpenCL

    Click Ok

    Restart photoshop and then try.
