I checked the preferences in PS and it is set to use the GPU (and it confirms what you say about oil painting filter with GPU) but even turning it off, exiting PS, then restarting PS and turning it on (and repeating restart) did not bring filters back.
But you still have the original CC with that filter installed. Same thing with all those Extensions that are not compatible with 2014, and some of those were a lot more useful than the Oil Paint filter.
I may have discovered a very strange bug in Photoshop cc 2014. If I open PS CC 2014 FIRST and Bridge SECOND, I get more features in Photoshop than if I open Bridge first including some of my old plugins and OIl Paint. Go figure. Is this a fluke? Please give it a shot.
Check your Bridge file associations (in the Bridge Preferences). Make sure Bridge has the files you want to open associated with the new Photoshop CC (2012) executable, which is completely separate from the Photoshop CC 14.x executable.
I suspect that you are on to the problem but sorry I have very little technical experience. Can you please provide more detail. I open Bridge, got to the File pull down menu, then go to preferences, and then .......? The "new Photoshop CC (2012)" isn't that the old Photoshop? Thank you very much for your help.
If I open PS first and then hit the button at the very center bottom of the screen, it automatically opens Bridge and my plug-ins and oil paint works, which I think supports your solution, if I could execute it. BTW: Why does perspective warp work but not transform or free transform? Thank you, Noel.
I appreciate all well-intended help and I figured out what was going on. When I downloaded CC 2014 it did not place an icon on my desktop. Consequently sometimes I was opening CC 64 bit and sometimes CC 2014. I went to a blog by an Adobe developer and found an explicit statement that CC 2014 does not include Oil Paint and all the talk about accelerators etc. is irrelevant. HOWEVER, I note that installation of CC 2014 does not remove CC 64. Simple solution: edit in 2014, close and save, finish in CC 64 bit. Seems like all the other fancy stuff would be pointless. In the meantime, Snap Art 4, a very sophisticated painting program, claims to work with CC 2014. But when I downloaded the trial version, it only associates with CC 64.
This has happened to me and I had to restart Photoshop to get the oil painting menu item back. It happens when I go from Lightroom to Photoshop if photoshop is not open at the time. If I start photoshop and then go from Lightroom to Photoshop the filter is there. So something is up between the two of them.
John may have it backwards, but the point is right - If you start Photoshop CC 14.x yourself, then whatever application sends data to Photoshop will use the one that's already running. The latest release - Photoshop CC (2014) - is being started if none is running already.
Right You must be running the older version of Photoshop if you see Oil Paint. For anyone else confused about what version they're running... Do Help - System Info and see what version you're running. It should say 2014.0.0, like this:
I have both versions on my computer (mac) in Lightroom it was correct and started CC 2014 when I asked but in the app tray on the desktop I had the icon for the previous version. I never updated it. All is well now, I will keep both version so I have the oil painting feature for some of the work I do.
I hate Adobe products since switching to the Cloud. I've had so many problems, plus with each update, all my interface preferences get reset. Now the oil filter is gone in PS. It's too bad that Adobe has run all the other graphic design programs out of business. However, with a continued shoddy line of products I'm sure some other company will come along to challenge Adobe...hopefully sooner than later!
I updated my laptop to a Solid state drive, with a super fast processor specifically to handle painting in Photoshop. I used the Adobe Cloud to install CC 2014 on my new machine, and ha - no more oil paint filter!!! Really Adobe? And I can't install an earlier version now because I am on a new machine. Frustrating that they keep adding things we get use to and put into our work flow and then remove them again. Does anyone know if we can go back and install the Pixel Bender Plugin that we use to use before they included the Oil Painting in PS? I have the Alien Skin and a few others but would really like this oil paint filter back also for under painting work.
Jeff, I have been using Photoshop since 5.0 - isn't funny now that we pay this ridiculous $50/ month for a "Cloud" service and yet nothing we really wish would be saved in the Cloud is being saved? You are right it's like having to start all over again each time we update. Why Adobe? If we are paying a monthly update plan then it should be good customer service and simple to hit update, all of your setting are saved in the cloud and re-installed with that update. Please find a developer who can help make this happen and get rid of all the frustration your customer's are feeling.
Learn how to use Photoshop's Oil Paint filter to turn photos into beautiful and stunning paintings. Discover how the Oil Paint filter's brush and lighting options affect different aspects of the painting effect, and how to combine two Oil Paint filters on the same image! A step-by-step tutorial.
The Oil Paint filter in Photoshop can turn any photo into what looks like an oil painted masterpiece. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use it create an oil painting effect, even if (like me) you have no painting skills at all.
The Oil Paint filter first appeared way back in Photoshop CS6 but then disappeared in Photoshop CC, only to reappear again in CC 2015. Then in Photoshop 2022, the Oil Paint filter received a performance upgrade, making it faster when working on larger images.
Before applying the Oil Paint filter, first convert the layer into a smart object. This will let you apply Oil Paint as a smart filter which will keep the filter settings editable in case you want to go back and make changes.
You can then inspect that part of the image in the preview window at the 100 percent zoom level, while still having the document zoomed out far enough to see how the oil paint effect looks on your entire image.
Larger Scale values tend to work better with high resolution images. But all of these sliders will give you different results depending on the size of your image. So if I was working with a smaller image, I would need to dial back the settings to get a similar effect.
Good day ... Went a to a new MacBook Pro not long ago ... info below. Loaded up the Adobe applications
that I have been using successfully on previously MacBook Pros as well as MacPros. After updating to
Photoshop 19.1.16 the application started acting buggy. This in terms of speed being much slower in various
ways and now the current issue is that I'm unable to use filters like oil paint as it returns a message saying
the Intel Iris Pro video needs to be updated. The OS is as current as offered for the laptop as are the drivers
and I sent a considerable amount of time trying to find a solution to this last night without any luck.
These onboard graphics processors from Intel, especially early ones, are just not as capable as an AMD Radeon or nVidia graphics card. It is possible recent OS updates or software updates may have made changes that do not allow these features, like Oil Paint, to work reliably so they are made unavailable.
Thanks for the post ... my question is why would Adobe have changed the code in a way that breaks it on while
a bit older a laptop ... but still widely used laptop? I get that speed increases are great things but I would be happy
But up until this last PhotoshopCC update everything was running properly and this was with another memory
demanding graphics app open that I switched back and forth from with ps. I use the oil paint and other graphic
All OS updates are the most current available and I've checked drives, emptied caches. purged etc ... and made
all the recommended changes as well as all the complete power restarts. Last night I spent 2 hours digging through
sites looking for driver updates I may have missed ... nothing. As well as looking at numerous sites that I found any
mention of issues with drivers or filters like Oil Paint and again nothing that made a difference. Most just kept pointing
back to the links above and others which again went over all the steps I tried many times with no fix.
So, all I can really track this to with any confidence is the latest release of Photoshop CC (version 19.1.6) which was
performing well until the current update was run and created a conflict somewhere. Again thanks for your input ... Ira
There are no video drivers beyond what Apple includes in the OS. This isn't Windows where you have to dig around to find some third-party software. Do make sure you have installed any firmware and OS updates, and try creating a brand-new user account for testing and run Photoshop there to see if that fixes the problem.
Interesting but I better not have a refurbished computer ... it was sold to me as brand new at brand new pricing
at an Apple store. I was very specific in asking for new. Anyhow I guess after meeting I guess I have to head back
Thanks Daniel ... I agree on the video cards but I had pretty close to the same laptop for years that worked without
issues like this. If anything it was less capable than this current laptop is supposed to be. Anyhow, I'll report back
Again ... laptop aside ... these filters and drivers worked fine prior to the most current Photoshop update install so,so whatever issues the Intel video may have it didn't impact app use before this.
I thought you bought it online. That is the mid-2015 model, but it was discontinued in June 2018 so if you got it new, it was just the older model without a touchbar. It will have Thunderbolt 2 and not USB 3.1 ports, and a card reader.
