Question

Free transform tool just stopped working

I am editing an image in Photoshop.  I have selected a region on a layer and press Ctrl-T, and nothing happens.  When I go to edit menu, all the transform options are greyed out.  I literally used the transform tool just a few minutes ago.

 

I feel like I am doing something dumb, but I cannot figure out what.

 

I am using version 23.3.2 20220503.r.458 d8a9c44 x64.  I have a Windows 10 computer with 128GB ram.

If you can share a screenshot of the Photoshop application window, maybe we will see the issue.

Makes sense.  Here it is ...

It kind of looks transparent due to the color (very light gray), but it isn't.  To answer your question, I have a couple layers that have objects, and those allow me to hit ctrl-T.  But none of the other layers allow ctrl-T.  That include layers where I WAS able to use ctrl-T earlier today.


I rasterized the two layers that had objects, and now every layer allows me to ctrl-T transform.  I'm guessing that's a bug?
