      SOLUTION: make sure you have the RGB mode and 16 bits image

      I had the same issue beacuse my image was 32 bits

        Changing from 32 to 16 completely destroyed the colors of my image.

        Talking about images without showing them often seems problematic. 

        And you didn’t mention the settings you chose when converting to 16bit.

        Make sure the color mode is RGB

          I'm using PS 2023. The issue arises when I try to use sky replacement on an image for the first time on that image, and I cancel it. Then I try to open up sky replacement option is greyed out. Every new image I can access sky replacement, but if I go into same image  again a second time it's greyed out

          I've moved your post from Creative Cloud Desktop to the Photoshop forum for you. Can you show a screenshot that includes the Sky Replacement and Layers panels? What is your bit-depth? Are you in CMYK, RGB, Lab, Index, or ??

           

          When you go to sky replacement and cancel, have layers been added? What is in your History panel?
