i need to apply the wind affect but it is greyed out. does anyone know why???

im just applying it to a layer....

this is kind off urgent i need to get this done

thankyou

[funkysoul]

is the layer locked / rendered ( in case of type layer you need to render it first)

[sudzy]

what do you mean by rednering?

alot of the other filter effects work

[Andy]

Heres a suggestion or two, from the top of my head...

Maybe you need to rasterize the layer (Layer > Rasterize > Layer )

Maybe you opened it as a gif? Then go Image > Mode > RGB - then, Layers > New > Layer from background

Or maybe... You haven't got the layers selected but the layer mask?

[sudzy]

nah it shouldn't have anything to do with that because half of the filter effects are avaialbe.

Post a screen shot of the problem with the layer you want to add the filter to.

[sudzy]

our b/w is used and the nets to slow to upload.

why would half the effects be greyed out anyway???

Bit hard to ask without a screen shot. You can attach an image to your post.

[sudzy]

the image i captured was 1.6 meg, isn't maximin 200kb???

besides as i said the nets really slow because we are over the limit.

dude - save it as jpg, dosnt have to be super quality, put on 30% compression. If you do one make sure it has the layer you cant change on there, the title and the greyed out options.

Is your picture in 8bit or 16bit?

To find out go to Image - mode.

Also - on the top of the bar next to RGB - there should be a /8 or /16

If its in 16 change it 8.
