I opened a TIFF file in PS CC and everything in the layers panel is disabled. I cannot select the one and only layer, all the controls are grayed out. I can do nothing with layers. When I go to the Layer dropdown menu, almost everything is grayed out. I can't even create another layer.
Could it be related to the fact that this file is a large 22610 x 10000 pixel, indexed color 8 bits/channel image? I opened another similar file and am having the same problem with it. But, I am able to open other, much smaller, TIFF files and they act normally.
I searched through the forum and didn't uncover anyone else who was having this problem.
Any ideas what may be causing this, and what I can do about it?
Thanks,
Ken

Not the size - but the indexed colour. Change it to RGB mode (Image - Mode - RGB Color) and all will be well

I forgot to mention that when I try to use the Straighten Layer function of the ruler, I get an error message, "The command 'Set' is not currently available." Could this be related to the fact that I don't have the layer selected (because I can't select layers)? (This is what led me to discover that the Layers panel was disabled.)

I did that and Layers is still grayed out. Why?
