Photoshop :: Why Filter Gallery Background Color Is Black
Dec 29, 2012
why my Filter Gallery BG color is black? Even the menus options are black when I export images. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times with no luck.
The background colour of the Filter Gallery window (and any filter window) is black. I can see sliders and checkboxes, but I cannot see the related labels and text. This does not happen in the Adobe Illustrator Effects windows.
I've deleted my PS preferences and restarted, and I cannot get this filter to do what is was just doing a day earlier. It doesn't matter what the foreground/background colors are, nor does it matter what the resolution of the file is. I've experimented with every variable. The filter effect changes the filled layer to a solid color of the current foreground color. No lines, dots or circles at all.
I'm trying to make lines in a filled layer, or a rasterized text layer.Adjusting the sliders has no effect at this point, but the other Gallery filters DO work, oddly enough.
I've used this filter effect many times over the years, and it just started acting wonky. This is PS CS6, on Mac OSX 10.8.5.It seems to be unpredictable or temperamental. Is there a reasonably-priced plugin that will create lines that are completely adjustable?
When I open a picture in photoshop, any picture, I see the picture and all around it is a background color. It has nothing to do with the picture or any work being done on the picture. This has to do with the color that comes up on the screen regardless of the picture. It was black and I hit something and it is now blue. I want this to go back to black.
I tryed clicking on the link below, selecting black for a background color and clicking and nothing changes.
1.) In CS6, the Filter Gallery seems like a great way to quickly preview lots of different effects. However, it does not seem to be working with all of my installed filters. Is there a reason why it only works with some filters OR is there some option or way to get other filters into the Filter Gallery?
2.) After applying a filter, and using Command + Shift + F on a Mac to reduce the effect of the filter, it comes up with a slider set at 100% is 100% showing the percentage of the filter that was applied previously, so if I drop it to 90% it is simply reducing the filter to 90% of its previous amount?
In my CS6 Photoshop I can access the filter-gallery but as soon I click on a filter to choose it close the window and I get the error message: the process coulnd't finish. I tried it with several files and and it's always the same message.
I downloaded CS6 from adobe. I noticed that the 'filter gallery' is grayed out in the Filter Menu. There is also no filter gallery file in the CS6 plug in folder. Is the filter gallery not included in the standard CS6 download?
I own my Adobe photoshop cs and I was wondering why do I get "unsuspected error" while I was sampling filters, and the son of gun shuts down on me. After that it asks me to send an error report which I do, but where does that go??? Main question has this happened to anybody else?
I'm in the process of editing an image and I can't access the filter gallery...it's not active under the filter >filter gallery...I started out with a CR2 raw file...
I scanned an image using Image Capture which turned it into a tiff. I opened the tiff in Photoshop and discovered that Filter Gallery was grayed out.
I opened an older Photoshop tiff and looked for differences. The older one, wherein filter gallery was available, was an eight bits per channel document. The new one is 16 bits per channel. When I changed the new one to eight bits per channel, Filter Gallery became available.
If my (extremely limited) understanding of the technology is correct, there is more information in 16 bits per channel and hence presumably a richer quality image. On general principle of course I'd prefer not to lose any richness. Is there some way I can get Photoshop to give me access to the filter gallery in a 16 bits per channel mode?
Per this screen shot, I am unable to view or access the filter gallery and I would very much like to. The history portion of the screen shot shows my workflow.
First I opened an image and then opened a Curves adjustment layer. Because I only wanted to change the luminosity values, I then changed the Blending Mode from Normal to "Luminosity". Then I made a minor Curves adjustment, followed by forming a new layer via copy of my original background layer.
At that time, I was unable to access the filter gallery. I therefore converted that layer I had just created into a smart object but, as the screen shot demonstrates, am still unable to access the filter gallery.
I am running CS6 on a Mac and I am working in Adobe RGB image mode, 16 bit.
After not using Photoshop CS4 for over a week (vacation), I have come back to work and found that I am unable to utilize the Filters or Filter Gallery on my projects.
The new filter gallery takes forever to preview. I assume this is because the preview area is so much bigger. I personally find it much more advantageous to preview a small portion of the image until I get the settings right, then run the filter on the entire image.
Is there a way to run the filter functions in "classic mode", or reduce the size of the preview area so I don't have to wait forever each time I try a new setting?
Corel SP1. I now have toolbars I can see clearly, but the black background makes it impossible to tell if an image has a thin black perimeter border. Last release I could drag the window to size it larger than the image and it was easy to see. The attachment shows the trouble and I can't find where or how to change just the background color of the work surface without changing the color of the workspace that now works best for me.
