Hello, 

 

I'm making a collage in photoshop and now it doesn't allow me to select or resize the images. My computer shut down and the file saved automatically to the photoshop cloud and since then I'm having this issue. I keep getting the error "Could not transform the selected pixels because the selected area is empty" and is obviously not empty. I'm able to see all my layers too so I don't know what's happening. Please help!

Hi!

We are sorry to hear you're having this issue!

It sounds like the file is having some problems. Can you turn the visibility of all the layers off and then turn then back on one at a time? We need to see if the different parts of your collage are accessible.

 

If you can see each layer indifidually, I would then recommend that you create a new file and either drag or copy and paste the layers into your new file, and save it.

 

If when you turn the visibility of the layers off and on and the image still persists then the image might have collapsed into one layer.

Can you show us a screenshot of your image in the Photoshoop window with the Layers panel visible?
