photoshop errors modals appear during mockup final render

The Fill command is not currently available and other error modals

Summary

Photoshop error modals appear during the final rendering of my mockup (STEP 2).

Why am I seeing this?

When you run STEP 2 it starts off a chain of processes that require a known set of layers to exist — i.e., the script needs to make selections on certain layers or perform transformations on others etc.  Hiding layers in the template throws a wrench into the process because STEP 2 attempts to merge the visible layers. When layers are hidden they do not get merged which creates a problem for STEP 2, it’s expecting to find a specific number of layers in a known configuration.  However, because the hidden layers are now included in the process the layer count is nolonger a fixed value and the script stands a good chance of selecting a hidden layer or selecting the wrong layer entirely.

Solution

Don’t hide layers in your template prior to running STEP 2 — if you do not need Layers then delete those layers rather than hiding them.
