Apply image is unavailable with new update

[ruthiesmagcam]

I am trying to use the frequency separation technique and have been unable to since the latest update. Something is making me unable to use the apply image option. I have tried the following:

-Updating the latest version of photoshop

-Restarting Photoshop

-Restarting computer

-Flattening image and then trying frequency separation

-Trying technique on entire different photo and file

For context there are 3 steps in frequency separation:

Duplicate the background layer

blur the second layer

and apply image on the 3rd layer this is where it stops working

Thanks for the help!

Apply imags seems to work in my action in 22.0.1.

I also have no issue with apply image. What exactly is or isn't it doing? Did you try this manually or through an action? Have you tried to reset your preferences?
