Actually, I just tried and it is off and on now. Sometimes it will work. Sometimes it will not. I am not sure if I am a fan of this new version. It seems to make my computer run slower as well. I have already adjested my cache level to 4 from 6 but it still is draging. I have 1GB of memory as well, running on a AMD Athlon 64 FX-53.

Anyways, Here are screen shots of what is happening when I try to apply the filter.

1) Here is a document with a black background with a circle as a second layer: <http://69.20.78.76/images/ps_prob/1.jpg>

2) Here is a picture of the layers: <http://69.20.78.76/images/ps_prob/2.jpg>

3) Here is a sreenshot of when I apply the filter: <http://69.20.78.76/images/ps_prob/3.jpg>

4) Here is a screenshot of the settings I am using on that filter: <http://69.20.78.76/images/ps_prob/4.jpg>

5) Here is the end result of what happens when the filter is applied: <http://69.20.78.76/images/ps_prob/5.jpg>

This is driving me crazy. I can open and existing document, and apply the filter to an existing layer and it will work, but if I create a new layer and then load a selection of of an existing layer and fill it with a solid color on the new layer, then apply the filter to the new layer it does the same thing.

Thanks for any help,
