Studio V2 Doesn't Like Displacement?

Hello,
Anyone else here have this issue? In studio in any material it will not let me add displacement. The selector field indicates mouseover, but upon click nothing at all happens. Works fine from within Maya.
This is in OSX 10.6.1.

Do you have a Layer, Emitter, or BSDF item selected when you right-click? The Add Displacement item is only enabled when you do; depending on the color scheme, the disabled state of the menu item may be more or less apparent. Or, it might be an osx problem...I only checked on Windows.

That did it. I was confused because within Maya the Displacement is at the Global Level and in Studio it appears to be at the layer level. A bit inconsistent.

I just discovered that displacement doesn't work if you are using a 16-bit image (or TIFF at least). It worked fine when I converted to 8-bit. I have to see if other formats are affected. OS X 10.6.1
