Edit > Transform> Warp grayed out (was "perspective warp grayed out")

I created a large psb file using the panorama tool and I now need to correct some issues using Edit>Transform>Warp, but Warp is grayed out.  It has always been available for me before.  Does anyone know why this might be happening?  Thanks.

Thank you.  I moved files to an external hard drive to free up space.  I now have 43 free GB on my 688 GB hard drive.  I tried to access Warp again and it is still grayed out.  I'm posting a screen shot below.  I was able to access Wrap on other smaller files I used it on.  Is it possible that it's the size of the file that is preventing this?  I have the "Use Graphics Processor " box unchecked.  Thank you.


Norman is asking to see your Layers panel, and because he's trying to figure out what is selected. For example, if you have multiple layers selected, Warp will gray out.

But if you have just one layer selected (the masked layers or the stamped layer), it will be available.

Would you please show your layers panel?

That may very well be the reason but, after correcting that limitation, you find the tis not the cause, I suggest you follow my original request and let us see Layers panel and image.

Your inquiry is confusing. Perspective warp is a separate command from Edit > Transform > Warp. Please post a screen shot of the Layers panel and image and describe your objective.

I just got a message from my PC that it is almost out of disk space, which I was not aware of.  I am wondering if I can't use Warp for that reason.  I remember seeing something about needing a certain amount of RAM in a post on this subject from 2014 to use Warp.  I wonder if limited disk space also affects it.  I will move files off my computer tonight to see if that helps.

Barb, thank you so much.  I am embarrassed to say that this was the problem - I did not have my Layers panel showing and I had forgotten that I had multiple Layers in this file.  When I brought up the panel, I saw that I has multiple Layers selected.  This is a good lesson in always keeping that Panel visible.

Thanks to you and Norman both.

Regards,

Barton

Hi bartonlew,

Could you please check the "Use Graphics Card" disabled under Preferences>Performance tab in Photoshop? Also, please let us know the exact version of Photoshop you are using now?

Regards,

Mohit

Thank you, Mohit.  I unchecked the box "Use Graphics Processor" in the Performance tab as you suggested, closed PS and then reopened it, and Warp is still grayed out.  I am using version 19.1.1 20180206.r.254.  Do you have any further suggestions?

Regards,

Barton
