Art History brush - Could not rasterize because the pixel data for this layer is not directly edita

I am following a tutorial. I opened a psd with two layers - the original photo and a transparent layer above it, which I am trying to brush on. With the Art History Braush selected, I've seen two turorials that show using a bruah on the transparent layer (so the original layer below is unaffected). I am getting a circle with slash rhrough it and error message "could not rasterize because the pixel data for this layer is not directly editable". I've chosen a brush and foreground color is black, in the Hisotry Panel the original photo has a brush next to it. I've tried "save as", open and re-open, making a snapshot in history panel and putting the brush icon next to it - nothing works. Banging my head against the monitor for an hour. Any suggestions?

Convert your image to 8 Bits/Channel, flatten the image, save, then reopen, add the blank layer and try the Art History Brush.

Delete the Blank layer, then save as a TIFF, reopen, add a new blank layer and see if the Art History Brush works.

Thanks. I saved as TIFF, reopened, added a new blank layer, but exactly the same problem and error message. I just upgraded to Ventura 13.3.1, I hope that is not the problem.

Try watching this tutorial from Julieanne Kost. It uses an older version of Photoshop, but it's an old tool and hasn't changed. She is very thorough.

That worked. Does that mean the Art History brush cannot be used with 16 bt images? I have 192 GB of RAM, if that matters. What do you think?

That's correct that the Art History Brush does not work on 16 bit/channel documents.
