hi guys, complete beginner having issues with the filter gallery. Torn Edges filter used to give a black and white result, suddenly the result is beige and white. changing the colour of the image beforehand ended in the same result. any ideas? thank you (Y)

The filter uses the Foreground and Background swatches (Tools panel). With the Filter Gallery closed, use the keyboard shortcut "D" to reset the swatches to the defaults of B&W. (There is also an icon just above the Foreground swatch.) Then try your filter again.

The filter uses the current foreground color for the effect. If you press 'D' first, to set the colors to the default black and white, it should give what you're used to.

      Hello, maybe you can help me... I have a similar issue: the filter gallery is only applied with the Foreground swatch, not with the original colors of the image (I have tried with different images)... and that is what I need! What can I do? thank you so much!!

      Before you run the filter, select Convert for Smart Filters from the Filter menu (if it's not already a Smart Object). After running the filter, right-click on "Filter Gallery" in the Layers panel, and choose "Edit Smart Filter Blending Options . . ."

       

      Try setting the blending mode to Luminosity, or one of the other modes, such as Soft Light, as you see fit.
