My layer style option will not populate. I have a Mac running 25.5.1. I have tried all the the options I could find on the web. Here's a list of what I did.

- Made sure the Auto-Select is selected. Clicked on other tools than Move and still did not work. 

- Closed photoshop, while reopening clicked Shift+Command+option to rest. Did not work

- Updated the software. Restarted my computer. Did not work

- When to Preferences, General and Reset Preferences on Quit. Still did not work.

I'm out of options now. Can you please help? I need this urgently.

You are amazing, I’m new at Photoshop and knew it had to be a simple fix….just didn’t realize it was the simplest of fixes haha!! Thank you, truly. You saved me more headache.

Best wishes,

Can you show a screenshot of your document with the layers panel open and the layer you wish to add a style to selected?
