Problem with Background layer

[Jenjill123]

Hi Damian, ( Or Advisor),

When I open PS, the photo on the screen (for editing) doesn't show up in the background layer panel. Instead it shows a brush.

I shut down the computer completely. I think I have reset it to original settings by going to Preferences. Still no luck.

Thank you for your help

Hi @Jenjill123, could you post a screenshot so I can see what you mean?

[Jenjill123]

Sure!

Here it is.

Oh yeah, it just means your layer thumbnail size has been set to "None".  It happens to everyone from time to time, and nobody knows why.

Just go to the Layers panel submenu and choose "Panel Options".  Choose a size for your thumbnails in there.

I'm just looking for the sub menu. I have Version  21.2.12.  I
can't find panel options

[Damien Symonds]

No, the submenu in the layers panel itself. The tiny three lines at the top right corner.

Yippee - i've got it! 

Thank you so much! 🙂😅
