How come adding a layer is not an option?

I just started using elements today and I am trying to learn things.  On the picture I am working on when I go to adda layer or even a mask it is not allowing me to click on it.  Does anyone know why?

Kindly review here on how yo ucan create layers in PSE- http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f-f216bde12e28ad1224- 7fff.html. You can also navigate to expert mode or click Window->Layers or add layers from Layer menu from top menu bar.
Also make sure your file is in 8 -bit. if it is 16 bit you can convert to b-bit from Image->More->8 bit and try.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Garry

  • Photo from iMessage saved to my camera role, how come the saved photo is not available to edit with iPhoto on my iPhone?

    When I save a photo from iMessage to my camera role, how come the saved photo is not available to edit with iPhoto on my iPhone?

    I tapped a photo in Messages to vie it full screen.
    Tapped the Share icon and saved it to my camera roll.
    Opened iPhoto for iOS and my image library updated. After the update I could see the image in my camera roll. I selected the amera roll, then tapped the image I had copied from Messages. I was able to edit the photo with no problem.
    Did you follow this same procedure or ry to copy the little thumbnail photo from Messages?

  • How do I activate the do not track option?

    How do I activate the do not track option?

    '''tuckertest''': The original poster does not have Firefox 4beta installed.
    Firefox's 4.0b11 implementation of "Do Not Track" will depend on recognition by websites of the "Do Not Track" header being sent by Firefox 4b11. There are no standards established for "Do Not Track". Other browsers are in the initial phases of implementing other procedures.

  • HT2534 How come I can't avail the "none" option after following instructions in review payment info?

    How come I can't avail the "none" option after following instructions in review payment info?

    If you are doing this on the iPad, try accessing your account in the app store. Tap the featured tab and you can access your ID in the lower left corner.
    If that doesn't work, perhaps you can be a bit more specific in what you have tried already.

  • How come layout of Websites is not same as in Internet Explorer

    The menu on my Website spreads across two lines instead of one in Firefox. It should only be on one line as in Internet Explorer. How come this is happening? Someone else says it displays fine on one line in Firefox: I don't see it.

    Do you want to post the address of the site?
    One possible reason is different zoom settings. Firefox has two modes of zoom: text only, or proportional (full zoom). Text only zoom is more likely to overflow the containers on a page and either wrap or distort the layout.
    To check what kind of zoom you're using, you can use the classic View menu. If you are displaying the orange Firefox button instead of the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key to show the menu bar temporarily.
    View menu > Zoom > Zoom Text Only
    If checked, you are using text-only zoom. You can toggle this back and forth to see the difference.
    If you do not see a difference, the issue could be that your menu bar specifies a font that is smaller than your minimum font size. By default, Firefox does not set a minimum font size, but if you ever set one, then that could be the issue. You can check that in the Options dialog:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
    In the Fonts & Colors section, click the "Advanced" button. Depending on your site encoding, check both Western and Other Language (utf-8) for a minimum font size.

  • HT204088 How come all our purchased were not deducted from the redeem card number entered yesterday and have deducted my credit card instead ?

    My sun has entered like he always does his redeem card gift and purchased a sereis of song yesterday.  How come any of his purchased were deducted from his redeem card and were all charge to my credit card instead?  No amount are showing up under the my account name like usual.  Normally we see the total amount of our gift card and we are able to see that number dropped after each purchase...
    Hope I will get some answers...

    This is not official HP Customer Support and I don't work for HP. This is a peer-to-peer user supported forum for HP consumer products. HP maintains no official presence on this forum. It is unlikely that HP will respond in an official capacity. Any reply from a HP employee represents their own opinion and not that of HP's.
    It looks like the only graphics card option for this model is the GeForce GT 630 (2 GB). The GT 630 is not a large powerful card, so it is conceivable that the bracket isn't installed with integrated graphics or a low-end graphics card that doesn't require it. The "graphics card bracket" would mosr likely be installed with larger more powerful cards like the GeForce GTX680, Radeon HD7770, etc. Typically, the videos on HPs website are used for hundreds of different models and may show optional items not installed on a particular computer or may not show items that are installed. Just because a part is or isn't shown in the video, doesn't mean your specific computer is going to be the same.

  • Adding Media Center feature not an option on Win 8.1 Pro

    Found the instructions below most helpful in terms of adding a Windows Media Center upgrade key to my Windows 8.1 pro (full, clean install) and the option "add features to Windows 8.1" is not an option listed...(The only option showing is "turn
    windows options on and off")... Therefore, the path for purchasing or adding this feature seems impossible to find.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/feature-packs
    Two questions:
    1. Should I be able to use the older Windows 8 Media Center Pack product key, if able to get to that point? 
    2. Why am I not able to find the "add features" option, having looked from multiple directions?

    You don't say that you attached the iso to the VM.  The easiest way to do
    that is to connect to the VM and then on the console, pull down the
    "Media" menu, Select "Insert Disk", then browse to the ISO and select it.
    Then under the "Action" menu, select "Reset".
    You can also mount an iso in the settings for the VM.

  • How come adobe flash player does not work on my macbook air

    when on yahoo and i select to watch a video it doesn't play and any other website with a similar format.
    But i have downloaded and installed adobe flash player but yet i am still experiencing these problems. Is there another way or am i just missing something?

    If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
    If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
    In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
              Delete All Site Data and Settings
    then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              Flash Player (failing).plugin
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked 
              Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
              Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • How come my mini iPad is not working after trying to update apps?

    My mini iPad is repeatedly showing me a black screen with a, "white apple," in the middle & then a couple of minutes later it turns off for a few minutes. Then the black screen with the, "white apple," in the middle comes back on again and then it goes black again. Sometimes the black screen would lighten and the whole pattern of these "screens" would start over again. It's been doing this for hours since I fell asleep.
    This happened when I was trying to update 4-5 apps at the same time. It had trouble updating the, "Pinterest app." It failed once and I retried it and that's when my mini ipad started to not work. I can't use it at all. I never had trouble updating several apps at one time before. I was at home using my wifi and my wifi strength was at its maximum for the iPad.
    The battery was at 40 something%, so I charged it over night. It has the latest iOS update software. I had downloaded that yesterday.
    I plugged it into iTunes on my computer and the same thing is happening. It's picking up my icloud stuff like my music and videos and my computer is trying to import photos from my mini ipad automatically, but my iPad isn't fully recognizable on iTunes. I get 2 error messages. One says, "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." I also get an error when trying to import photos (just to try it out). The other error message says, "The iPad cannot be sync because this iPad cannot be found."
    And so, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and I get the same response. My iTunes is the latest version.
    I don't have warranty on this iPad and I spent like $500 on this one. I'm kinda worried...?
    Any kind of response would be appreciated....

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
