In the stand-alone Photoshop versions, there was always 8 bit & 16 bit versions. The former I used with some older filters. Is there any work around to using 8 bit filters in Photoshop CC?

Are you saying that you can't choose between 8 and 16-bit in PS or that your filters are no longer working in CC?

I believe you confuse two types of bits. Images can be in 8 bit/color or 16 bits per color. Some filter may not work with 16 bits/color, but they sure all work with 8 bits/color.

Photoshop itself is 64 bits computer code. Your old filters are 32 bits code. That is why they don't work in Photoshop CC anymore. There has been a period when Photoshop was installed in 32 bits and 64 bits versions.

http://www.mediachance.com/pluginbridge/ $39 US, there is a trial version too

This might help if your desired plugins run successfully in any x32 PS CS or CC version. It allowed me to quit storing a Photoshop x32 version on my machine to run the old plugins Polariod Dust & Scratches and the Kodak Digital ROC plugins.

Are you actually replying to my post? I understand the different bits quite well :D
I obviously was replying to the OP, but you apparently didn't realise his confusion so I felt it was probably easier to keep this as a single thread rather than to add a subthread.
