Dear Photoshop people,

 

I have a huge issue.

I have been trying to use Image > Adjustement > Gradient Map, but the Sample: All Layers and Show Sampling Ring are greyed outr and I am unable to change it.

I can pick up color from color wheel or swatches but not other layers.

Tried re-installing Photoshop, didn't work, tried Performance and ticking the boox for "Use Graphics Processor" it did not work, also checked the layer settings and all is set to RGB/8 and tried several other things. I am running out of ides how to fix it and I really need that to work.

 

Thank you for your help.

Hello, yes it's better to wark with layers, in your case layer adjustement. But if all is greyed maybe the layer is always locked, a little padlock on the layer. If yes just click on it to unlock.

    Hello, thank you for the help, but the layer is not locked, also I prefer not using gradient layers, as the way I showed worked until 3 days ago.

    I recommend that you use Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map instead.
