Are there any reasons why the Smart Blur option wouldn't be available? I've imported an image from Lightroom, 16-bit, go to Filter > Blur > all the blur options are available to click except Smart Blur, it's grey'd out. I tried converting to Smart Object and it's still not available. What am I doing wrong? Thanks folks!

When I open an image as a 16-bit, like you've seen Smart Blur is unavailable.

When I convert to 8-bit it is, so I guess it's an 8-bit only filter (some CS "stuff" is still like that).

You're not doing anything wrong, some filters are available in 8-bit only. Smart Blur is one of them.
