    my “update” under help is greyed out and when i run the application manager it doesn’t show photoshop needing to be updated… any suggestions???

  • Kevin Pulido

    Please help: I’m trying to practice these filters, BUT when I take my picture and convert the layer to a smart object, the options of Liquify and Blur Gallery get disabled. I also notice that this options are enabled when my layer isn’t a smart object (obviously I can’t see the tree of filters applied below the layer thumbnail). Totally opposite what I see in the video above.

    Thanks in advance.

    Por favor, ayuda: Estoy tratando de practicar estos filtros, pero cuando tomo mi foto y convierto la capa en un objeto inteligente, las opciones de Licuar y Galería de definición se desactiva. También noto que esta opción se habilitan cuando mi capa no es un objeto inteligente (obviamente no puedo ver el árbol de filtros aplicados debajo de la miniatura de la capa). Totalmente opuesto a lo que veo en el video de arriba.

      Hi Kevin,
      This feature was part of the first Creative Cloud update called Photoshop CS6.1. Only subscribers to Creative Cloud can use this feature I’m afraid.

  • Ompopo

    This update is only available for Creative Cloud members if I understand it correctly (not 100% sure), so if you bought a physical copy or digital download without the subscription you won’t get it.

    Is this update only for Mac? As it doesn’t say I have any updates for Photoshop.
