Restoring The Missing Filters In The Filter Menu
Is this a huge problem? No, but it could potentially slow down your workflow. Thankfully, Adobe realized this and included the option to revert the Filter menu back to the way it used to be in every version of Photoshop before CS6, and that option is found in the Preferences. On A Windows PC, go up to the ** Edit ** menu at the top of the screen, choose ** Preferences **, then choose ** Plug-Ins **. On a Mac, go up to the ** Photoshop ** menu, choose** Preferences **, then choose ** Plug-Ins **: Selecting the Plug-Ins preferences. This opens Photoshop’s Preferences dialog box set to the Plug-Ins preferences. The option we want is ** Show all Filter Gallery groups and names **. By default, this option is unchecked. If you want to revert the Filter menu back to the way it used to be in earlier versions of Photoshop and be able to access all the filters directly from the Filter menu, simply check this option, then click OK to close out of the dialog box (note that you’ll need to restart Photoshop for the change to take effect): Selecting the “Show all Filter Gallery groups and names” option. Through the magic of you not being here as I’m writing this, I’ve gone ahead and restarted Photoshop, and I’ve re-opened the same photo. I’ve also again converted it to a Smart Object by clicking on the ** menu ** icon in the Layers panel and choosing ** Convert to Smart Object **: We’re back to just having the Smart Object itself (no filters applied) in the Layers panel. With the ** Show all Filter Gallery groups and names ** option selected in the Preferences, I’ll once again go up to the Filter menu at the top of the screen, and this time, all of the filter groups are available, just as they were in Photoshop CS5 and earlier:
