Filter Gallery not working

[ceciliet10953852]

please help!

Every setting is ok.

8 bits, Rgb mode, default b/w background. Everything was fine yesterday.

It works until I try to select a style, but nothing is happening???

Please post a meaningful screenshot (including all pertinent Panels and the Filter Gallery dialog).

Which Filter/s are you talking about specifically?

[ceciliet10953852]

The one with glass effect etc.

I can get in and see my pic, I can adjust effects, but nothing happens in the display window or in the original pic. I can click in on every effect, but my pic does not change

Is a Selection active?

What have you done for general trouble-shooting so far?

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Everything was working fine yesterday. I have selected the pic you see. I tried some of the old ones i've been working on as well, but nothing happens

[c.pfaffenbichler]

So you are definitely talking about Palette Knife?

Have you reset Foreground and Background Color yet (D)?

Can’t see how to add pic here?

My phone didn't have those

[ceciliet10953852]

Oh, couldnt on the phone

That is not the Filter set you were talking about previously.

Please post a different kind of screenshot:

What do you mean? There is only one Filter Gallery under FILTER and then the gallery of different artistic things.

'Why does not this work anymore when it worked yesterday?

The Filter Gallery comprises of a Buch of Filters, which one/s are you talking about specifically?

Please make and post screenshots not taken with a digital camera, as explained in the Link above.

[ceciliet10953852]

The filters you see above. Scetch, disort and so on.

[ceciliet10953852]

ALL of those in the pic. Neither work.

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Please post a meaningful screenshot.

That means including all pertinent UI elements (Layers Panel, Tools Panel, Options Bar, …) and the complete Filter dialog that reflects the issue.

The most likely explanation seems to be a user mistake, but corrupted Preferences also seem possible.

It works as long as I use the one in the menu beneath filter gallery. But yesterday I could also do in the menu i showed you. It's really weird...

Thank you for your help. Just got PS a week ago and I am still learning

Please don’t be vague, state the exact names of the Filters you are talking about.

Have you reset the Foreground and Background Color yet (D)?

[ceciliet10953852]

It’s ok. Thanks for your help

Have you tried clicking the visibility icon left of the filter name in the list on the right?

[ceciliet10953852]

Can't see it on mine?

THANK YOU

Hi ceciliet10953852:

From your original photo, it looks like you added both the Palette Knife and Graphic Pen, but both are hidden.

In the screen shot below: the eyeballs control the visibility of a filter—I don't see eyeballs in your photo, so click where you see mine to turn them on. You can add multiple filters with the folder button at the bottom, and you can remove them by selecting one in the list and clicking the trash can. I'd start with just one. Some filters work off the foreground/background colors, which is why c.pfaffenbichler is suggesting that you reset them. (Just press the letter D without a dialog box open.)

And for maximum flexibility, before you add any filters, take the extra step of selecting Filter > Convert for Smart Filters which allows you to turn filters off later, or modify them.

P.S. Photoshop is a complex application, with a sharp learning curve, so don't be surprised that getting up to speed is a slow process. Training helps!
