Photoshop CC 2015 Oil paint filter

[mrsbeau]

I downloaded the new version this morning and do not see the oil paint filter in my filters.  I restarted my computer, I also downloaded the newest version of my graphics software, but no luck.  Any suggestions?  thank you.

thank you.  I found it but it is grayed out.  i tried changing to 16 bit, tried 8 bit, but still grayed out. 

[khatwani]

Is that a MAC or Windows machine ?

[mrsbeau]

windows 8.1

I have the same problem. Oil Paint Filter is grayed out on newly updated PS today. Windows 7 machine. Thoughts?

Made sure I'm in 8 bit also, restarted, etc.

Try this

Open Photoshop.

Go to Edit -> Preferences  -> Performance (Windows) 

Under Graphic Processor Settings

Click Advanced and uncheck OpenCL

Click Ok

Restart photoshop and then try.

That was unchecked already.  By the way, since we're in that area, can you tell me which of the advanced features under the Graphics Processor Settings should typically be checked?  thank you.

mrsbeaubgaumont‌ , Molnfab  , Can you all please confirm which graphic card are you using ?

[mrsbeau]

I just checked Open CL and the oil paint filter still works.  I am using GE Force GT630, version 359.00 with regard to my other question.  Thank you.

hi! 

i am using GPU intel(R) HD graphics 4400, means that GPU supports OPENCL version 1.2, but the checkbox Use OpenCL is still grayed out?(I've already chosen Advanced draw mode ) Can you help me out of this? 

thanks!

[Molnfab]

I did the opposite – checked OpenCL to make Oil Paint active.

Hi

Yeah this is actually a OpenCL requirement of Oil Paint.

IT requires OpenCL 1.2

If your graphic card supports that OpenCL, it should work.

Thank you!!! Your solution worked! NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (PC)

I also tried the Open CL idea, no luck, it is still grayed out. FYI I also just installed the update on my MacBook Pro and the new Oil Paint Filter it works fine there under Yosemite.

Does this mean if your graphics card is not able to support Open CL then no matter what the oil filter won't work..My card is about 6yrs old and a Nividia GeForce 3...can't remember rest of the numbers but it is not a GeForce 640...I can't afford a new graphics card so is there any other way to have oil filter?
