I am having a problem when using gradient tool, when I create a gradient map layer, photoshop shows "Could not use the gradient tool because the content of the layer is not directly editable."

Here is a 26 seconds video about the problem:




I am following the instruction below, it works at the past but it is not working now



Thanks in advance.

That's an adjustment layer, it's not an editable layer, and you can't use any tools on it, including the Gradient tool. That's why you have that error warning. You could use tools on the layer mask, but not the Adjustment layer itself.

You need to select the gradient in the Properties panel instead. Click on the drop down box, to select a gradient.
