Question

Adjustment layers grayed out and unusable after Loading Files into Stack

Using Photoshop 27.3.1. Used File>Scripts>Load Files Into Stack. In the dialogue box I clicked on Browse, and located two photo files (.psd format)I clicked on them and clicked OK. I checked “Attempt to Automatically Align Source Images. Clicked OK. The images successfully stacked. However all of the SINGLE ADJUSTMENTS LAYERS grayed out and could not be used.  This is not supposed to happen. I tried again. This time I opened the two .psd files into my photography workspace. Then I selected File>Scripts>Load Files Into Stack. I then clicked on “Add Open Files” and the box for auto alignment. This time, the files successfully stacked and now the Single Adjustment layers remained white and available to use.   Weird bug.

    Hey ​@Rob33974746d47f 

    Welcome to the community! May I ask if you still see this issue in the latest version of which is Ps 24.7? If so, can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing and your exact System Info? This can be found be going to Help > System Info. Copy and paste that into a text file and attach that in your response.

    Sorry, but how is Photoshop 24.7 newer than 27.3.1?

    ​@Rob33974746d47f I’d imagine that’s a typo by ​@CMass, and she meant 27.4, which is the most recent version
