Smear - brush....tools will not work on image?

I am not sure what I am doing wrong or if I have turned the tools off some how.

I am unable to smear or use the brush tools on digital images opened in PhotoPaint.
Please help me...

  •  Thank you for the note:

    I am using Corel PhotoPaint 12. F8 will bring up the tool but has no effect on any digital image.  I can draw lines, mask areas and use the fill tool etc. but I am unable to use the effects tool, smear or paint brush tools.  There must be something turned off but I am unsure what.

    Any ideas?

    I made sure that the paint mode is normal and I have sized the tool to be large and yet smear will not work.  I have also made a mask to see if it would work in an area that have  been masked but not luck.  I only have one JPG image open.

    :(

    Andy.
