16bit

No some are grayed out. If you have the trial, just open or create a 16 bit file to see what filters are active.

Simple answer is "No, not all".

Many Photoshop filters must be about 20 years old and Adobe representatives say they have no intention of modernising them because of a lack of demand by customers.

Here is a list of filters which do not work in 16-bit RGB:

Just a note: probably best not to have your email as name as it opens you up to spam.

This article also explains that some of these filters would not make any quality difference in 16 bit mode, so therefore was not worth the scheduling and expense of the programming. IMO users are not being shortchanged although it would be nice to not have to downshift modes to get at them.

Whether there's an improvement in quality or not isn't the main concern for me. The thing I dislike about filters being unavailable in 16-bit mode is the hindrance to workflow when you can't simply apply the 8-bit-only filters while working on a project that otherwise benefits from 16-bit.

And I 100% agree. I'd rather not have to change bit gears either. I hope someday Adobe will join us.

You mischaracterized my responses.

We want to update the filters.

But management needs to see some demand, some actual reason to update them beyond "I want everything".

I did not mischaracterize your responses. You've just confirmed what I said!!!

I said: "Adobe representatives say they have no intention of modernising them because of a lack of demand by customers"

You said: "management needs to see some demand"

Please explain how I mischaracterized your responses.

Everyone expects these features to "just work".

Management needs to understand that they're not going to be begged, feature by feature, to update the product to modern standards, where they have been lax in scheduling time to do so in the past..

If they don't listen to their senior engineers then there's no hope for your future success.  You should start looking for a better place to work.

>>  no intention of modernising

^^ That part is incorrect.

You should have quoted that phrase in the first place. Now you quote it with no context.

This is what I wrote:

"Many Photoshop filters must be about 20 years old and Adobe representatives say they [Adobe] have no intention of modernising them because of a lack of demand by customers."

And you are still mischaracterizing my statements.

Perhaps you are imagining something which doesn't exist in my statements.
