Hi, please I need you guys' advice. I am unable to click on convert to smart filter. It is grayed out. Any advice as to how to go about this? I'd greatly appreciate any assistance.

Your "issue" is that your image layer is already a smart object - so no smart filter is required (the filters will be applied in the same smart way)
Note : Smart Filters do work in 16 bit as well as 8 bit

Hi there,
As Conver to Smart Filter is grayed out in Photoshop, could you please let us know the version of Photoshop you're using?
Also, could you share a screenshot of the full Photoshop view with the layers panel displayed?
There migh be a chance that you're not working in 8bit mode, try checking it by going to Image > Image. Make sure that you're working in RGB 8 bit mode.
Let us know how it goes.
Regards,
Sahil

As Dave Mentioned, you're layer is already a smart object. If you want that in another smart object, you have to combine it with other layers to create a new smart object with the old one within the new one.
