Re: Most menus greyed out in Photoshop CC 2019?

To reset Photoshop settings, press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Option+Command+Shift) and click on your usual photoshop shortcut. 

I often also have my menus greyed out. The whole Image Menu, the all Type Menu (Top bar), etc are greyed out from top to bottom. Really don't know what's causing that annoying issue.

    Hi. Those menus are grayed out even with an image open?

    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible?

    Hi Hans Solo,

    When the menus are grayed out, the first thing to check is the options bar. If you have entered a feature such as Type, Crop, Transform, etc., then you need to exit it with Accept or Cancel.

    Thank you, but this is not helping me at all.  First, I have no idea what the "options bar" is.  I closed my image, and reopened it.  Puppet Warp, and many other Edit options, are still grayed out.  I've hit enter.  I've saved.  Nothing is working.  Times like this, I really hate Photoshop.  I need it to be accessible, and you should design it so we can figure out how to make it work.  I am not satisfied.

    Hey Adobe... I call [inappropriate language removed by moderator]

     

    WHAT IS GOING ON?  This started happening in InDesign 2021... now it's happening in PS 2022. [inappropriate language removed by moderator]

     

     


    Are you sure Photoshop is not currently in some operation that makes invoking those menu items impossible? 

     

    What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far? 

    Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:
