In CS2 these are all enabled for the same file

You must be in 8 bit and RGB to have all the filters.

Also, the PS plugins should be where PS expects them to be e.g. …\Plugins\Filters\

Thanks
When I opened the file through bridge it goes automatically to Camera raw which assigns 16bit.

Its a pity that I could not find this information in help

If the file is Raw, I wouldn’t want it to behave otherwise.

Once in PS, it’s easy to convert to 8 bit/channel, if you want to enable all filters.

You can also set Camera RAW to open the file as 8bit.

Its all there in the PDF manual.
