I’m wanting to apply a brush stroke filter to some text in Photoshop CS3. Simple enough. I understand that in order to apply some of the filters, I need to rasterize the text. But after I rasterize it (and I am doing that part properly I know), the brush stroke filter, among a number of the other filters still aren’t available for me to apply. Why would this be?

The tutorials I’ve read online give simple instruction to create their effects, each asking me to rasterize the text before applying my brush stroke filter. So I know it should work in theory….is it a CS3 thing?

Any insight is appreciated…

Hi,
Should work. Is it possible that you have PS in 16bit
(Image>Mode>16bit/Channel) mode?

Good luck,

Because you are in 16 bit color mode, or because you are in CMYK rather than RGB, most likely.
