Image - mode grayed out

First time encountering this problem, what am I missing?

We would need your Photoshop version and would also need your OS version (Windows 7 or Mac OS 10.9)
I'd wonder if it happens with all files, or just one.
I can give you some generic advice:
Under Help > choose Updates and make sure you are current.
Sometimes the Preferences get corrupted, so holding Ctrl-alt-shift keys on the PC and starting Photoshop should give you a "delete settings" box, and by answering "Yes" you erase the old corrupted settings and hopefully that fixes it.
Uninstall/reinstall is the last idea.

  • Contact sheet images are grayed out

    I have made an album of black and white images and want to print them as a series of contact sheets. The sheets look good when customized, but when I tell it to print, all but the first two of the previewed images are grayed out and not worth printing. Is this an iPhoto or a printer problem or something I'm missing? The images were converted from B&W film negatives. This happens whether using the Macbook Pro or the Macbook.

    what color profile do they have? If it is gray scale it will not work - they must have sRGB as the color profile for use with iPhoto (they will still display and print black and white)

  • Using photoshop elements 13 but the option to crop a single image is grayed out and also the option to crop a scanned image into individual pictures is grayed out - any ideas?

    The option to crop an image is always grayed out or unavailable - both for single images and when I want to crop scanned images into individual pictures. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

    Did you try using the crop tool to see if it is working?  See the tool I am talking about.
    I suspect you are in Guided Mode rather than in Quick Mode or Expert Mode.

  • ISight camera image is grayed out

    As of a couple weeks ago, the image from my MacBook Pro built-in iSight camera has been grayed out. The image can be seen, but barely - it's in monochrome with minimal contrast. It happens in multiple applications - have tested with Skype and Photo Booth. I followed the iSight troubleshooting steps, including resetting the SMC. Any assistance with further troubleshooting/fixing would be appreciated.

    Yes EZ, per my first message I followed the iSight troubleshooting steps, including resetting the SMC. That didn't help. His recommendation of starting in safe mode, then restarting did help the first time, but the problem has recurred. I tried that fix again today, but it had no effect - the iSight image is barely visible, mostly grayed out.
    If your problem is EXACTLY the same with EVERY Apple app you test in EVERY user account, I can suggest two options for your consideration:
    (1) Contact your Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.
    (2) Backup you data and reinstall your Mac's software to see if that corrects it.

  • Image choices grayed out

    Just installed Photoshop elements 9 with Vista.  Seems to work like Elements 6, except that I cannot
    see more than one photo at a time - the images option is grayed out (in Full Edit as well as in the others)
    , so I cannot cascade or tile -  I do not see a preferences for this... thank you in advance

    Here is an excerpt from Adobe help on the same:
    View and arrange multiple windows
    In Full Edit, do one of the following:
    To display windows stacked and cascading from the upper left to the lower right of the screen, choose Window > Images > Cascade.
    To display windows edge-to-edge, choose Window > Images > Tile. As you close images, the open windows are resized to fill the available space.
    To view all open images at the same magnification as the active image, choose Window > Images > Match Zoom.
    To view the same section (upper-left corner, center, lower-right corner, and so on) of all open photos, choose Window > Images > Match Location. The view in all windows shifts to match the active (frontmost) image. The zoom level does not change.
    Note: The Window > Images options are enabled only when Allow Floating Documents In Full Edit Mode is selected in preferences.
    Below is a screenshot of the Preference which needs to be checked on Editor:

  • How do I backup my MacBook Pro when the disk image is grayed out?

    I have a MacBook Pro (15 inc. four years old) running OSX 10.6.8 and last night I got the color pinwheel of death.  I could not force quit anything and had to manually power down.
    When I powered back up I got the folder with the question mark.  I ran Disk Utility and tried to Repair Disk, but I got:
    Disk Utility stopped repairing "diskOs2"
    ...Back up as many of your files as possible
    Details: Invalid B-tree node size
    The volume could not be verified completely
    Volume repair complete
    Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk, Back up... at the disk, and restore your backed-up files
    I hooked up an external hard drive and tried to make a copy of the disk image, but it is grayed out.  I also tried to partition the main Hitachi drive and make a "New Image" but I got: "Unable to create backup (input/output error)
    So I now have a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow, but I can't even back up my computer before going.  I can have them tell me what to do, but then I'll have to go home and do it, and then make a second appointment.
    Any suggestions?  Oh, and I backed up this computer about six weeks ago on Time Machine, but I'd love to make a copy of all new files I've created since then.
    Thanks!

    You have two options. Purchase Disk Warrior or erase the drive. The former would require your ability to install a download of DW on a bootable disk so you could repair your hard drive. And, DW costs $99.00. The latter requires a Snow Leopard installer DVD from which you can boot, erase the hard drive, then reinstall Snow Leopard. Then download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can then restore from your Time Machine backup. There is no way now for you to backup files unless you can access the drive. Open Disk Utility, select the entry for your disk volume then click on the Mount icon in the toolbar. If your volume mounts on the Desktop then you may be able to copy files to an external drive or even run a Time Machine backup.

  • Import of "image sequence" grays out when you select multiple jpg in Premier CC

    It worked jus fine untill a few days ago after the CC update. I even reset the number sequencing on my camera to try a test set of picture.  no matter what I do the "image sequence" check box grays out as soon as i click on multiple jpgs.
    any one ever have this occur?

    As joe bloe says, select only a single image file to enable the Image Sequence checkbox. Once you select multiple files, then the importer is set to import as multiple single still images. FYI, you can also select any file (other than the frst), if you wish to import a shorter range of files (eg: select 0040 to import an image sequence of frame 40 and on)

  • Lightroom print mode and Color mode grayed out

    Both print mode and color mode selections are grayed out not allowing me to select them. Help

    I see you haven't gotten much input so far from the Mac experts...
    As a Windows user without an Epson printer myself, I can't comment on why you might have color problems under the covers where the software doesn't seem to be following the chosen settings.  However, perhaps I can get you thinking about how to further diagnose the problem...
    The obvious thing I see is that you've chosen "Photoshop Manages Colors" in the main dialog, which implies your intent is to shut off color-management in the printer driver itself.  So to me the graying out of those settings in this case seems to make sense.
    Have you tried a test print using the "Printer Manages Colors" setting?
    Also, to try to test whether color-management isn't being turned off in the printer (regardless of what the grayed-out settings show), do you see any improvement if you use "Photoshop Manages Colors" but choose a standard profile, such as sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the Printer Profile setting?

  • Surround sound modes grayed out

    I have attached my mac mini duo to my surround receiver using an optical cable; however i can't set the output to anything but stereo (even in the multi speaker setup).. all surround modes are grayed out (also after reboots and fresh boots)..
    Surround work just fine with my dvd players and xbox 360 but the macmini refuses!!! Please please please, anyone have a sollution? Surround is needed! :}

    I'm pretty much having the same problems. I have the optical jack plugged into my home theater receiver. When I play DVD's encoded in 5.1, I am still getting a PCM signal (2 channel). I go to Disc Setup but the audio options are greyed out. I don't get it. I thought the mini would send out the raw signal and then my receiver would decode what it gets.
    I don't really want to use a third party app just to get 5.1 from DVDs. This is a major reason I even bought a mini...

  • Disabled JButtons without grayed-out images

    Hello,
    I have a disabled button, and when I put an image in it, the image is grayed out. Is there anyway I can have the image remain as normal instead of becoming grayed-out?
    Thanks in advance.
    Troy

    Just use the setDisabledIcon(Icon) method:
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class JButtonTest extends JFrame {
         private Icon icon = new ImageIcon("img.gif");
         private JButton button = new JButton(icon);
         public JButtonTest() {
              this.getContentPane().add(this.button);
              this.button.setDisabledIcon(this.icon);
              this.button.setEnabled(false);
              this.setSize(600, 400);
              this.setVisible(true);
              this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
              new JButtonTest();

  • CS3 to deactivate (grayed out) ?

    I tried to deactivate CS3 from one computer to put into my other computer and the selection to deactivate on the computer that it was originally installed is grayed out. Why is this happening?
    Kathy

    It is in the trial mode at this point? When I tried to deactivate it originally, I did it wrong somehow and it is trial mode now with both activate and deactivate mode grayed out. I guess I cannot regenergize it? Thanks for your inputs.

  • Grayed out in library

    pic i want to edit is grayed out in library-  already in catalog-  also grayed out in catalog finder- how do i get it to develop?

    Thank you for responding.  I appreciate it. I think I got it though.  When it said already in catalog I went to the open catalog option.  I was able to navigate to the folder but the images were grayed out there too.  The problem seems to be that I was accessing LR through Canon Image Browser.  You can select a picture and there is an edit with drop-down with all your editing applications. It works fine with PS and Gimp.  I just opened LR and went to the library and it worked just fine.  Some issue with accessing through the Canon app.
