I have the new CC Photographer’s plan. Just checked my PS and tried to follow your Oil Paint instructions. My Oil Paint filter is grayed out and can’t be used. I did as you showed and converted to smart object first thinking that was what was keeping it from being active, but that didn’t work, either. How do you activate the Oil Paint feature? It’s there, just not active.
Make sure layer is active in layers panel and not locked
Thank you, Richard, I did. I tried it first duplicating the original locked layer, highlighted the copy of the original layer (layer copy not locked), and oil paint filter was grayed out. Also tried opening image, double clicking on original layer to unlock it, highlighted that unlocked layer and checked again. Oil painting is still grayed out. I just tried it again to make sure and got the same results. I have a screen shot of it, but not sure how to post it here.
Check bit depth and try converting to 8 bit
