I am using PS CS. I have opened a file that I was working on yesterday and now the transform options from the edit menu are no longer available. They were working fine yesterday but not today. I have no idea what has happened. I saved the file before I closed PS and left for the day. I had been working with several layers and merged them. One of the layers had a mask but I don’t think that was what caused it since I was still able to use the transform options after the layer merge. Even making duplicates of the original background layer does not give me the transform options. I can open other files and the transform options are available. This is infuriating due to the loss of time and not knowing what caused this. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you on the Background or a locked layer? Are you on the Composite channel or one of the others?

Why did you merge the layers (out of curiosity)

I am not on a background layer or a locked layer. The only locked layer is the original background layer. I have not fiddled with channels in this file. I merged the layers (after making copies of them) to make it easier for cloning, patching and moving. This one is a real stumper as to what has happened.

Well now the transform options are available. I didn’t do anything other than unhide a few layers to figure out how I created them in the first place so I could re-create them in the new file. The has to have been something I hit to grey-out those options to begin with but bugger if I can figure it out.

If you were on a hidden layer when you tried to Transform it would be grayed out.

That wasn’t the case. I’v made that mistake before which is why I really pay attention to what layer I am on. I guess it might be operator error but darn if I can figure what it was.
