Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the inability to access texture filters in Photoshop CS2, particularly in the context of a tutorial. Participants explore potential reasons for this issue, including color mode settings, and also touch on broader themes related to photography and editing practices.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports difficulty selecting "textures" in the filter menu while following a tutorial.
  • Another participant suggests that switching the file from CMYK to RGB color mode resolves the issue with texture filters.
  • Some participants note that certain options in Photoshop are not available in CMYK mode.
  • A later reply humorously lists specific features absent in CMYK mode, indicating a light-hearted take on the limitations of the software.
  • One participant expresses concern about the reliance on Photoshop for image presentation, questioning the authenticity of digitally altered images compared to professional photography.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that certain features are unavailable in CMYK mode, but there is no consensus on the broader implications of Photoshop usage in photography.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations related to color modes in Photoshop and the potential impact on available features, but does not resolve the broader debate on editing practices in photography.

Hey people, photojournalism and didn't see any work that came off like so many images I've looked at online. Basically, the color is just too perfect (almost to a level that seems animated) when compared to legitimate professional photographers. I personally would like to learn to use equipment the right way and not rely on Photoshop to make my images presentable. Am I just late and wanting to join a dying breed?
 
Hi.
Even though this question is 3 years old. It hasn't yet been answered and other people may google this search term just like I did.

I couldn't use texture filters in Photoshop either until I switched the file from CMYK color mode to RGB color mode.

Image===>Mode===>RGB Color.

Hope that helps someone.

A portion of Photoshop's options aren't available in CMYK mode.

'Make giant eyes for lolcat'
and
'Add jetliner to Twin Towers pic'
