Can't edit pixels because selected layer is 'empty' but it's not!

[nicolehat]

I am unable to transform/copy my layers. I have definitely messed something up. I know I am clicking on the correct selected layer while trying to edit. This even happens on my text layers (lets me edit and move the text/whatever layer I am working on but not transform the text/content box).

Moved around-----

Do you perhaps have a selection? Good trouble shooting technique is to always try to deselect even if you don't think that you have one. Cmd+D

Or just select your pixels - using CTRL/Cmd +A command

you can also press CTRL/Cmd key and click your Yellow Layer 5 Thumbnail to load exact selection based on your pixels

Thank you so much! I must've made a selection somehow. Life saver!

Glad that helped!
