You are working in "Expert" mode?

Just had another look... do you have only your photo open or is it on a layer within a layout? If you only have the photo open and not copied it is called a background and you will not be able to add a stroke to it until you copy it so it is on another layer.

HERE is a link to a discussion about strokes that may help. It has helped me as I think I will use the stroke within styles from now on as then if I do not like it I can delete it or alter it.
So thank you Marie for causing me to discover something new for myself.
Thanks Anne-Marie! I always have the photo as a layer on top of the background and in PSE 12 that worked but in PSE 15 it's greyed out BUT I went to the link and now I'll use the method of making the stroke on a separate layer and merging them
