Problems with filters

[rymaples]

I'm just a noob at Photoshop, but I'm trying to learn. I'm having a problem trying to use the filters. Majority of them aren't available and I don't know why. All of the Blur, Noise, Sharpen, Video, and Other filters are available. Only a select few in Distort, Render, and Stylize are available. And none of the other Filters are available. Can someone help me out here? I few sigs ago I was able to do Clouds, but now it's not available. Thanks.

Check in the Photoshop Plugins folder and see if they are still there.

go to toolbar image>mode and switch back to 8 bit

That's what it was einCe. A friend of mine told me that and it fixed it. Don't know how it got changed to 16, but it did.
