Ok.
Well, I found a workaround for anyone else who has the same issue.
Here's what happened:
1.) I had a CTG fill layer with only two colors - medium Grey and White .
2.) I accidentally converted the CTG layer to Anim layer . (I had intentionally made it an Anim layer, but thought I was using a Duplicate layer so I had my original CTG layer intact,
but that was not the case , so I was stuck with the fill layer as an Anim , not CTG ).
3.) I wanted to turn it back to CTG layer , but then I get the error message:
"This Layer contains too much colors to be converted" .
SOLUTION:
4.) I used
FX Stack > Color Replacer . I selected the Grey tone as the Source , then for the Destination I selected the medium Grey from my palette .
I dialed up the Tolerance and Softness on the Color Replacer . Apply to all.
EDIT: I found that it also works to use
FX Stack > Gaussian Blur (set to strength of 1) . After applying Gaussian Blur to all the frames of the Grey and White fill layer I can transform it to CTG layer.
5.) NOW when I went to "Transform to CTG layer" it did convert it back to CTG , but now I only had my medium Grey tone, the white areas had been converted to Grey . (the white was for eyes ) So I had to reapply the White areas, but that did not take long .
