I am working on an iMac running Sonoma OS 14.6.1, using Creative Cloud PScc Version 25.12.0.  I am trying to add a pattern for my background replacement for a portrait.  When I try to add The Pattern Adjustment layer when I click on the adjustment layer icon at the bottom right of PS, it is greyed out, all the other adjustmernt layers are black.

 

Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it.

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

This often happens when too many patterns are loaded into Photoshop.

In Photoshop go Window>Patterns and remove a Group and see if that makes a difference.

It's possible you may have to remove more than one Group.

Jeff,

 

Thank you for your reply, I tried that and I can now access Patterns as an Adjustment Layer.  I did find a work around

 

Go the window, click on Patterns

Add a new  layer

click on the new layer

Go the the pattern tab, click on the pattern yoiu want

A pattern Fill Layer replaces the new layer

 

Thanks again for your help
