you're applying photoshop effects to jpeg images in illustrator? why not just use photoshop?

[macpawel]

Maybe your file is too large?

Try to use normal Illustrator file and then Plase (embeded) your JPEG file - it should works

Why are you using the .jpg format. is not sensible to use a lossy compression format, you have less control over the quality of your final image. Try using .psd.

I looked closer at your screenshot, is this supposed to be in the Illustrator forum, looks like you are in Photoshop as I do not see .ai in the filename. Maybe you are opening .jpgs in Illustrator and trying to run these effects in Illustrator on a huge oversized .jpg image.

Are you designing for print or for web? Something is not adding up as you have a huge image in RGB mode, by the looks of your canvas size. Try reserving the .jpg as .psd to the correct size resolution you need and place in a .ai file.

But as the Doug said you should do these effects in Photoshop.

экспортируйте в фотошоп . в фотошопе продублируйте слой , продублированный закройте на время и работайте на фоне -фильтры -акварель потом нажмите ok. вернитесь к слоям и откройте дублированный слой , при необходимости можете уменьшить непрозрачность , поменять режим наложения . а можно ластиком с небольшой непрозрачностью слегка протереть некоторые места . при необходимости на фоновом слое можно добавлять урони и кривые но при этом переодически отключать дублированный слой -это не расширяет файла , чем меньше слоёв тем лучше . По достижении желаемого эффекта

слои слить горячими клавишами чтобы не испортить эффекта . Попробуйте такой способ . Можете его сохранить для Web файл сожмётся без потери качества .

Here's the problem:

You're opening a JPG File with Illustrator.

Wrong workflow my friend.

However, you CAN place your JPG into a new Illustrator document and the apply the effect that you want...

But is better to use PHOTOSHOP for this task.
