Photoshop Elements Editor the object layer Background is not currently available

Asked By Robby L Stutz 20 points N/A Posted on - 01/19/2014

Hi,

When I added a mask to a Background layer in Photoshop this message appeared and I clicked the Continue button but nothing happened. Later I realized that I can’t make any changes to the Background layer. I have closed the Photoshop and reopened it again and the same message appeared again. Does anyone can help me to fix this error with the Background layer ? Why I have this error since I didn’t make any changes ?

Thank you !

In Photoshop ‘Layer Mask’ is one of the best creative tools. With the help of this tool you can do a lot of works. Masking is just another way of making a selection. You can’t add a layer mask to a background. You must convert the background into a layer first by unlocking the layer, as this will help you to move free on the canvas. Next,  flattened your image first. Check you are not in mask mode. And if you want to delete a layer mask just drag its thumbnail into the trash icon in the Layer Panel. Still if the problem persists, then it may be the problem in the language of your Photoshop.
