Masked destination layer

Solved/Closed

Hello,
This message appears: "Unable to use the move tool because the destination layer is hidden"
and I can no longer modify the position of my layers, nor rewrite the texts, I can't do anything... even though each layer is clearly visible (eye icon in front) which makes my PSD look more like a flattened PSD when each layer is still independent. I've been using Photoshop for 4 years and this is the first time I've encountered such a bug, who can help me? It seems like my software has an issue. I want to mention that I've browsed the internet and no one has really provided a solution. Thank you.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

    Hello,

    It seems that you are confusing layers and channels.

    If you have "removed" the eye of a color in the "Channels" palette, not "Layers," and you select this channel to then, for example, try to write on this channel, you will get this message.
    So, in the bottom palette, click on the "Channels" tab instead of "Layers," and check that all channels are active (the eye is visible)

    Best regards
