Blend modes grayed out

[jeljohnssp]

I made a circle shape filled with color on two layers. When I try to change the blend modes most are grayed out. I think tried to make a circle selection (instead of a shape) and fill it with color. Same issue.

Can someone explain why I don't have all the blend modes available? I'm using CC2019.

The Blend Modes of what exactly?

Pleas post s screenshot including the Layers Panel.

Layer blend modes.

I do not have access to color burn, linear burn, screen, color dodge, any of the "light" modes, overlay, hard mix, or exclusion.

Hi

What is the image mode and bit depth of your image? Blending modes are restricted in 32 bits/channel mode.

Thanks, It was in 32 bit!

You clipped the screenshot to be close to useless.

It’s not possible to determine the image’s Color Mode or Bit Depth for example.
