greyed out filters

Hi all,
I find on opening a file in Photoshop and filling with colour that most
filters are greyed out, except Blur, Noise, Sharpen, Stylize and Other .
Even after adding noise, the others still remain greyed out. How can they
be accessed? Any help much appreciated

The most likely reason is that your image is in 16 bit mode, and you are
using version 7 or earlier.

Your files are most likely CMYK or 16 bit per channel.

16 bits was the problem,

Almost every filter (save for the "artistic" filters) will work in CMYK.
