QUESTION: good day, what i meant was the spherize option isnt available or cannot be used.

Answer
Hi ted,
Check if your document is in RGB mode. If not change it by going to the top Menu Image>Mode>RGB Color (If asked ".....flatten image before mode change?" select 'Don't Flatten')


Hope this helped, Do let me know if u need further assistance.
