this isnt a problem but this is just what photoshop does. a .gif is immediately placed in Color Mode called Indexed Colors. What you want to do is go to Image > Mode > RGB Color or CMYK Color and then your layer will be unlocked and you can add your layers or your fill or canvas size, etc. hope that helps you out. |
