I have printed some images of Italy (from an old point-and-shoot film camera with images scanned)using Photoshop’s Filters>Artistic>Sponge (or Watercolor) filter. This has proved to be quite a good solution for those beautiful and sentimental images rendered with low res and relatively high noise. I am attempting to use the same technique to make a matched set of prints using some recent Canon 20D-ACR 4.1 rendered images (of beautiful quality, and much larger file size), but the Filter>Artistic options are grayed out of the Filters drop-down menu. All Filter options are executable with my old film images. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks very much for any help,

Richard

Under Image > Mode what is the setting?

As far as I know, those filters are only available for RGB images.

Thanks, Bob. The problem was not RGB-related, but was, in fact, solved by my changing Mode to 8-bit from 16-bit. I’ve tried fiddling around with other images, and it seems that certain filters work only with 8-bit images. This is why I had no such problem with my older images, which were 8-bit to begin with. Live and learn. Thanks again,

Richard
