photoshop filter effect problem ?

[exoss]

i have created a layer 500 x 500 px and a text layer, i have rasterized the text layer and now i can't apply all of the filter effects, just blur and 2 or 3 more effect ... i can't apply render effect ... what is the problem .. how can i fix this problem ... ? thanks .

Rasterizing the text layer converts it to a normal layer so you should be able to manipulate as you would any other layer. However, you can no longer make changes to the type in that layer with the type tool. You should be able to go backwards through the history palette to see what you have done that may have limited your filter functions.

i open a new document and if i tried to apply a filter effect i see the same result (limited effect) .. but when i open an older document that i have created before, then i can apply all of the effects ... i couldn't solve this problem ...

Have you changed the image mode? Certain modes won't allow you to use all of the tools. What Photoshop version are you working on?

i am using "Photoshop CS" and image mode is "RGB Color" ... everything seems ok or there is something that i dont know ...

To add a little clarity to my previous post...
When you create a new file (File>New), you will get the dialogue box which allows you to change file options such as pixel dimensions, resolution, and mode. Usually those settings are remembered the next time you open that dialogue box. If you are creating images for web the mode to be working in is RGB. That will give you the most flexibility.

I have to say it is strange...I don't know what else to suggest. Other than closing photoshop and rebooting.

the settings are .. :

500 x 500 px,
RGB Color - 16 Bit,
Transparent,
--Advanced
Color Profile: sRGB IEC6...
Pixel As. Rat: Square


this is an interesting problem ...

i have tried that too :) .. thanks for your help ..

I am going to guess on one thing you might try...In some cases, 16-bit files have limited functions (at least on earlier versions). Try changing to 8-bit. (I'm not sure this will do the trick, I think CS has upgraded that substantially). Good luck.

you find it :) , i thought that the new file was always in 16 bit .. when i change it to 8 bit, there is no more problem .. thanks a lot ..
