Edit/fill grayed out

[Kent Jakusz]

New to PS and working on a MAC version 10.10.5

Edit/Fill is grayed out with all tools.

I have.

1. Reset the Tools.

2. Reset all setting to default.

3. Updated to the PS current version.

All suggestion welcome. 

Thanks You

Kent

Do you havs something selected to be filled? Noten center capture no Photoshop target Fill is grayed out.

[Kent Jakusz]

I do thank you.

I have the layer selected and the eye is chosen in the Layers panel.

[JJMack]

Can you post a screen capture showing your phoroshop display  showing the image, layers palette and fill menu item grayed out

[Kent Jakusz]

Thank you

[JJMack · Accepted solution]

Smart object layers pixels can not be modified. They can only be acted on with smart filters and adjustment layers. They are locked note the lock icons in the layers palette.

Thank you a ton.

I am taking a Photo Shop Essentials Course on Lynda.com either the instructor or the student missed that part.

Enjoy your Holiday

Thanks again

Kent

Is "eye" off on the chosen Layer in the Layers panel?

Where is the user's manual? If this was supplied, perhaps you techs that work for adobewould have an easier time at the job.

WHERE IS THE USER'S MANUAL?

[JJMack]

Users here do not work for adobe as for the manual here Photoshop Help | Photoshop User Guide

It would be impossible to keep a paper manual up to data and I would not think any one online guide would cover all versions of Photoshop and be completely up to date

I was referred to this "fix" as a solution to my problem

Which didn't fix it.

ALL versions of CC, when I use Content Aware fill I get Cannot Complete Program error

This is after a wipe & fresh Windows, new video card, new hard drive & memory .

Oddly , Photoshop CS6 is ok.

I was told "problem is escalated and will be resolved in 24 hours" , that was a week or so ago.

I was told by Adobe the solution to my problem was this thread.... ????

Do you have another layer on top covering the shape layer? This can be confusing.
