Anisotropic filter crashes Photoshop CS2

350 views1 repliesLast post: 10/8/2006
I'm on a Mac G5 - OS X 10.4.4 with 4.5 GB of memory and Photoshop 9.0.2.

My granddaughter wants me to do some portraits using the comic book/pop art effect she saw online at photofiddle.com.

I have several actions that will easily do the trick - but every one of them crashes Photoshop.

After a bit of detective work I figured out it was the anisotropic filter that is causing the crashes. to test my theory I went directly to Filter>Stylize>Diffuse>Anisotropic in Photoshop - not using an action. The moment I hit the Aniso button - crash - I am back on the desktop!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Well for starters you are 4 system updates behind.

have you trashed your prefs?

will it work in a new user?
