    I found the solution to my previous problem.

    The filter Gallery in Photoshop CC.

    Worked only the image is set to 8 bits/channel.

    Thanks again  for all your feedback.

    Hi. 

    I'm having this problem too... 

    I was following a tutorial (I'm new to photoshop so I'm not an expert) and when I tried to use "Glass Filter", nothing changed.

    I have colors RGB and 8 bits. I already changed preferences to show all the filters and still all the same...

    Can somebody help me because I'm getting annoyed?

    The only way I managed to do this was to go: "Layer" - "New" - "Layer via Copy", which obviously adds a copy of the layer. Once the copy exists in the layer panel, you can play with the filters. This is works for the current version of the Photoshop.

    There's a size threshold at around 750mb where photoshop disables filter gallery. I don't know if it's for performance reasons, maybe those with a more powerful computer don't have this issue, but on my 2013 maxed out MacBook pro this is the case.

    Heres the bigger issue though, why dont the programmers at photoshop put a prompt beside your cursor when you put it over a greyed out option that explains why it is greyed out? People rely on these programs for their livelihood, and pay a lot of money for them. It might be obvious to programmers, but those are not the people using Photoshop. FIX THIS!!!!!

      I have the same problem, the Gallery Filters will not even work on the tutorial image supplied in the Adobe Tutorial. I am using the latest version of Photoshop CC and MacOS High Sierra 110.13.6

      The blue progress bar moves but no filter is applied to the image.

      I figured out that size has to do something with Filter Gallery. I had a layer in a 450x100 cm sized image and wouldn't work with the filters. So i compromised to a lower resolution layer and it WORKED!!!

      Help please.  I AM on 8 bit and RBG and my photoshop filter gallery is NOT working at all.  It's not greyed out , no, it's just not applying any effect whatsoever.

      My filter gallery seems stuck on the initial filter you get when you open up the gallery, and the rest of them don't work / change the image. what the hell.

      Most Filters/adjustment layer do not work in Photoshop unless you are on RGB/8Bit mode.

      Always use RGB, but convert to CMYK in the end. Always use 8-Bit.

      Using CS6 I switched to Image> mode> 8bit and the filters - lens blur, iris blur, etc - remained greyed out.

      Additional thoughts?

      bro you'll have to convert to RGB as well. (it's always RGB and 8-bit mode in order for filters to work)

      Photoshop filters only work in RGB mode, 8-bit. In CMYK they will be greyed out.

      there is a trick for that however, if ure working in CMYK, chose each channel seperately, and apply filters to it, filter WILL work.

      But why adobe why?

          Hi whulan51 and anyone else who might have an answer,

          Were you able to find a solution? My file is also in RGB 8-bit, but I can't get the filters to work. I'm working on OS-X with the most recent version of Photoshop CC (2015).

          Thanks.

            Thank you.  I had the same issue.  I upgraded to Ps CC 2014 v2.2 recently and had the Filter Gallery disabled.  I now set my image to 8 bit  in Lr and it enables it in Ps CC... But I did not realize this was the reason I was preventing from accessing the Filter Gallery (it is not obvious or I was not able to find out why).

            Thanks for sharing this.
