I am using the trial version of CS4 and cannot access the Matting filters under the Layers menu.

The Matting selection is grayed out. I have tried different image modes and nothing allows access to Matting.

There’s something wrong, trash your preferences.

Are you dealing with an 8-bit or a 16-bit image? RGB or CMYK? Image type?

Not sure if any of these is a factor, but if you’ve reset your prefs and it’s still a no-go, I’d check image compatibility with the filters.

More than likely you have a Layer Mask on that layer. If you do Matting is grayed out.

I just found out the answer to this in CS3 — you have to select the object and layer via copy, then matting will work. Good luck!
