CS4 will not let me use eraser tool on adjustment layers

[sonicbloom]

Hi Guys,

I wonder if anyone can help. I am quite an experienced Photoshop CS4 user but have recently had difficulties when tryind to use tools on adjustment layers

For example - erasing parts of a levels layer was something I used to do often. More often than not I now get the dialogue - "could not rasterize because the pixel data for this layer is not directly editable" wnen I try to erase an adjustment layer.

I have tried a full tool reset, changing bit depths and file formats but the problem persists. I am pretty sure this is something I have either done or not done with regard to a setting.

Any ideas???

Cheers

Hi, did you tried using the brushes, painting or unpainting the mask with black and white?

No you're not, because those users don't use the eraser tool on adjustment layers.
