Photoshop and Filters
I have been shooting digitally in camera raw. When I import the image into Photoshop CS, I no longer am able to use all of the filters. Only a couple of filters will open, such as the blur filters, but not all of those either. Even if I then take the camera raw image and save it as a TIFF, I am still not able to access any creative filters. However, if I start with a JPEG, then all of the filters on Photoshop are available to use. Does anyone know anything about this problem and what I can do? I would like to be able to apply filters to some of my TIFF images.

Beverly, I am willing to bet that when you import your images into CS you are importing them as 16 bit images, and not all the filters work in 16 bit. You have to go to Image>Mode and change the image to 8 bit to get all the filters to work. I suggest you do any major exposure or color changes to the image while it is still in 16 bit and then change it.

Lewis, thank you. I followed your instruction, and that was exactly the problem. Thank you so much. I am planning to take one of your Toolbox classes this fall as I definitely need to learn some of the finer details of Photoshop use. I'm probably going to start with Toolbox #1. Is it geared for intermediates or beginners?

I would say you need to be familiar with the program a bit to take my class - not really an intermediate, but not a novice either. I do explain all the techniques, but I do not spend a lot of time teaching the tools, etc. I expect you to know what the lasso tool is, where the filters are, etc. I hope that helps - if not, please ask me again!
