I am a newbie to photoshop. Recently I installed a 30 day trial version which I got through a computer publication’s DVD. My OS is Windows XP (Home).
I have been using for ages Paint Shop Pro and I have also Photoshop Element and wanted to give Photoshop CS a try.
I load a normal size picture (600X400) in jpg format. Ensure the format is RGB, 8bit. Duplicate the background so as to work on this new layer.
I choose a filter ( eg Dry Brush). The appropriate panel open so I can experiment with different settings, on the preview panel, I can see the results then I press the "OK"…nothing happens to my layer which remains unchanged!!!
I tried all filters… same outcome except: Facets, sharp, blur and the custom filter!!! I tried saving the original picture in Photoshop’s own format, reload: same outcome. I have looked in FAQ… tried reloading the software having eliminated the preference file…. No change…
In both Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop Element, the filters are working fine!
Can anybody give me a clue????
Thanks in advance
Paddy
