All Plugins Greyed Out (Despite having the layer selected)


Recommended Posts

I just updated to 2.3.1 and all plugins are greyed out.  I had the .msix installer, tried the .exe installer.  Removed every plugin I don't use (although every plugin worked fine before updating).  I verified settings -> Photoshop Plugins -> Allow "Unknown plugins to be used was enabled.  I tried removing any possible duplicate listings.

You are trying to use a Plugin filter on an Image layer. You need to convert it to a Pixel layer for the plugins to work.

In other words, what @R C-R mean. in the menu bar navigate to Layer -> Rasterize... or make a right click on the image layer at the layer panel and choose Rasterize...

FWIW, that is the same link as in my post above where I linked it to the text "image layer," except that mine is to the US English page rather than the British one.
