Trying to align series of layers. Auto align greyed out. All layers selected

The auto align button is greyed out. I've seen a lot of answers on this but they are not applicable.  I have all the layers selected.  They are all at 100% opacity.

      Also after Rasterizing the Smart Object make sure you have "Align To: Canvas" selected in Properties.

        That was the solution! I knew there was a way to align it without ruining my layout by rasterizing the layer. I just needed to select Canvas instead of Selection. Thank you so much.

          Hi

          It looks like you have opened the image layers from Lightroom.

          There is an issue in the current version.

          Close both apps. Open Photoshop and leave it open. Now open Lightroom. You should now be able to take your images from Lightroom to Photoshop and the menus should work.

            You an easy solution that would look better would to be just to retake the photo with the PANARAMA MODE selected on a person's cell phone.

            Then the images are also stitched together a little better.  Plus you will have an image that you do not have to play with to align.  Getting rid of all those seams would make a better image.

            Some cameras also have PANARAMA MODE as well.

            Just another option.

            Hi,

            What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

            Could you post a screenshot of photoshop including the layers panel?

            Hi, thank you for answering.  I'm trying right now to figure out how to take a screenshot.  I've done it before on other things but can't figure out how to do it for the photoshop page.
