Can not unlock a partial lock on a backround image

I open my image in my photoshop elements 10 - and my image background is automatically locked. When i press the lock it only partilly unlocks - this prevents me from moving the image around once i've edited. Am i opening my images incorrectily - or how do i stop it from opeining them in lock mode? I am using a mac.
Please help !!!

Double click the background layer in the layers panel to turn it to a regular layer. Since a background layer can't have transparent areas, it always fills the entire dimensions of the image, so there's no way to move it around.
Most images start with a background layer. It's not always necessary to do anything to change it to another kind of layer--it depends on what you want to do with your image.

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • HT4113 Can not turn off passcode lock

    I can not turn off passcode lock. I see it and it is grayed out. I can change the password, etc. but I can not turn it off  I plugged the phone into a friends computer a few days ago to charge it. Does that have something to do with it?

    There is an exchange account on the device and the Admins of that account require a passcode lock on the device.

    I presume you mean that you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten. If that is correct, you will need to restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

    If you're not referring to the screen lock, please post back and clarify.

  • TS1314 what do I do when I photo can not import a photo it says problem downloading image how do I fix

    im getting an error message on my i photo  :  i photo can not impot your photos a problem downloading an image.  now what?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • Unlocking a "Partially Locked Layer" in Ps CS3

    I am working on a poster for a school project and I have come across something that I have never encountered before in the 4 years of photoshopping I have done. Its a "Partially locked layer". The layer is a text layer and the "lock" button in the layers pallet is off. I have been searching around for how to unlock this layer I have only found these on the "backround" layer not text layers and i cannot figure out ( nor can my teacher(s)) how to unlock it. I need to just transform and edit the text in this layer but am unable to due to the partial locking of the layer.
    Any ideas on how to unlock?
    What I have tried:
    restarting Ps CS3
    Lock Button
    Copying the text layer
    saving as another name and re-opening
    Differnt Computer
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Are either of the 2 icons in red down? If so click on them so they are not depressed.
    If you accidentally used New>> background from layer (your layer would look like the screenshot above). In taht case thje text has been bitmapped, adn even releasing would release this bitmapped.
    If this does not solve your problem, can you post a screenshot of your layers palette?
