Watercolor actions

I have used the Watercolor Actions downloaded from Adobe and it has always worked perfectly. I got a new Photoshop and imported Watercolor Actions again - and now it's not working. As soon as I hit SETUP, I get this message: The command “Select” is not currently available.

 

I have tried to remove the actions, brushes and patterns and install once more, but the problem is still there.

 

Any ideas what to do?

Maybe your layer is locked. Can you show us a screenshot of your workspace including layers panel?

Nancy - thanks a lot for responding. It looks like this. Seems like the background layer is locked, but I have always used it like this. Isn't it always locked ..?

Double-click your background layer to unlock it.

And select the layer you wish to edit.  Obviously, empty pixels cannot be selected.

Hi again Nancy. I have to continue later - it's way over bedtime here in Europe ..!

When you say Reboot computer, do you mean Command-R or what ...? You don't mean to perform a disk repair or anything like that?

Thanks again

Ole

No, simply restart your computer (reboot) the way you normally do.

Do you have a brush named "Watercolor Artist - Basic Brush"?

Check the name in the brushes panel.

Then ... I dont know.

 

Judging by your screenshot, you have an error just when selecting this brush.

 

Try recording a simple two-command action.

1. Select the brush tool.

2. Select this named brush.

 

Try to play this action. Change the brush to another beforehand.

 

Are there any errors when playing your recorded action?

Hi r-bin

Thanks for your answer.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by your suggestion.

The problem occurs already when I press the 'play' button at Setup.

"The command “Select” is not currently available."

 

I guess action step is looking for layer with specific name but that layer is not present. Can you take screenshot? When above message appear stop playing action, expand action in the Actions panel and there should be step highlighted, that is problematic step. Take screenshot with Layers panel visible. Screenshot like this one below
