It seems that you have loaded the file as a volume instead of a segmentation.

You can either save the file with the `.seg.nrrd` file extension to give a hint to the application to load it as a segmentation. Or you can keep using the `.nrrd` file extension but then you need to manually select `Description` → `Segmentation` in `Add data` window.
