Perspective Tool problem

Hello everybody,

I have a little problem when I try to use a Perspective Tool with some images or levels. The problem is this :
"You can not use the Perspective Cutout tool because the image contains unsupported types of layers" some one can explain me why this happen? I don't understand why it happen and I'd try to rasterize the levels or the images but don't work. The problem can be a smart object? or a level blocked? or maybe a masks?

Thanks in advance!

Any Smart Object - no Perspective Crop. You dont't crop exact layer - you want to crop whole image!!

If you want to crop only selected layer you can use Free Transform Tool (CTRL+T) and use any transformation you need - ony on layer

Here is the solution for that error message. Flatten the image, even if it looks like there is only 1 layer. Then the perspective crop tool works correctly.

I can't use it if there is one or more smart object between my levels? Because I've tried to use the tool on a level that is not a smart object and the prospective tool don't work the same :/
