Illustrator + Photoshop

I made a picture in Illustrator which I then pasted into Photoshop CS2 as a smart object. I'm not sure if that is what caused it or not but I am not able to use a lot of the filters now such as:

-All Artistic Filters
-Brush Strokes
-Sketch
-Texture
-Video
-Lens Flare
-Lighting Efftects

Aswell as some others. And is there a way to be able to use these filters on the piece I am working on because I really need them

Thanks in advance guys.

 

Bump

 

just copy and paste anything you do in illy and place it as "pixels"

 

Thanks I'll try that now

Merged Post:

It still didn't work even when I deleted the thing made in Illy completely. The only other thing that is different to what i usually do is that it is CMYK colour instead of RGB would that have anything to do with it?

 

yes you have to be in rgb for both

 

Thought that might be it, is there anyway to change the thing I made in Illy to RGB without restarting?

 

mode.

 

I'm pretty sure you either have to change the color mode to RBG (Image>Mode>RBG) or you have to rasterize the layer if its still a smart object. Thats my guess

 

Yeah, I got everything to work now Thanks guys

 

Thats great can u show the finished piece of work now.

 

Yeah it's in the large artwork section now, I'd give you the link but I have to go in a sec. It's titled | B R E A K I N G | F R E E |

It should still be on the first page.
