Fixed: Photoshop 22.0 neural filter style transfer not available

[ndow]

I am pumped for the style transfer feature in photoshop 2021, but it is the only neural filter that wont work. The download button is unclickable and greyed out and it says the filter is not available.

I had the same issue today with latest PS. I resolve the issue with open the PS with "run as administrator" (right click on the app icon, select run as adminstrator", then go to download the new filters).

Hello, could you try if it works as another regular user as well?

I have my Photoshop updated to the most latest release 23.2.1 yet none of the Neural Filters working or downloading except Color Transfer. I'm always getting the same "the filter is not available" error no matter what.

UPDATE: I just started Photoshop with "Admisnistrator" mode (I'm on Windows 10 btw and I simply despise it) and now being able to download the filters.

That was my solution as well.
Then I located the files/folders created for the administrator and copied
them into my user folder. No more problems.
All this, even though I supposedly have administrator privileges
associated with my own login.
Go figure.

I have the Home Edition of Windows 10 and it simply not letting me to own and use my own computer... I need to run everything with admin privileges all the time.

That happened to me as well until I found the admin folders that make those
neural filters work.
Copied the admin folders into my user folder and problem disappeared.

They are in -- at least on my computer:
C/Users/Admin/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/UXP/PluginsStorage/PHSP/22/Internal/com.adobe.nfp.gallery/PluginData

I would open two explorers and drill down into both the admin and your user
folders and make sure they both exist before copying from admin to your
user folders

Yep, me too. I guess it's time for Adobe to fix this... long overdue.

Although neural filters, as themselves, are hardly useful due to extra-long download times.

[KeremGo]

I agree... They working but slowing down my budget computer a lot (core i3 / 16gigs / GT1030)

I'm not sure if this might help you but I also cleaned out the Camera
Profiles and Lens Profiles. Adobe seems to think you need to cover
hundreds of cameras and even more lenses but I have one camera and 5
lenses. I remove all the others without any issues.
they're in the camera raw folder And.....
Adobe Lightroom/Resources

Odd thing is I'm an Adobe member. They could ask me which cameras and
lenses I'm interested in and stop downloading all the data I Don't Want or
Need?

To anyone who is still experiencing this problem and can't use the Neural Filter, try disabling Photoshop in compatibility mode if you have it enabled.
After all the above manipulations from this thread, my neural filter still didn't want to work. And after that, I just happened to turn off "run in compatibility mode" and after that, immediately, the neural filters worked!
