In expert mode, using the mover tool, I can not move one picture into another. Need help as I get error message

I have two pictures in expert mode in editor. I go to "Move tool", click on picture but I am unable to move and drop in second picture. I do not get the dashed lines around the picture, and if I move cursor to
move picture, I get the following message " This operation cannot be performed on the locked background layer. Do you want to convert the locked background layer into an editable layer?"  I have no idea
what I need to check or uncheck to make it work.,  I am following a lesson plan in a "Infinite Skills" training course.  I talked to them, but was unable to come up with a answer.  Help, please I have been
trying to do this move for over a week.  tks  rdf

We don't know whether this tutorial was written for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, more specifically for which version of PSE. There are differences. Be sure to have the layers palette open.
Try this instead
Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.
To unlock the background layer, double click on it in the layers palette. Perhaps your tutorial will  guide you through the process.

  • HT3275 I need help.  Keep getting error message he backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    I keep recieving he following error he backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/ MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use.  for time machine backup.  Any suggestions

    It is standard for Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Reboot the TC to fix it.
    If you actually run Lion then you can install 5.6 utility and just go to the disk page and click disconnect all users.. this is usually enough to fix it.. on the previous backup TM hasn't dismounted the sparsebundle correctly and so cannot mount it again.

  • Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • I am trying to "personalize my cs2 software online download with the serial number from my original boxed cd set and it didn't work. I tried using the download serial number and that doesn't work either. Need help!

    I am trying to "personalize" my cs2 software online download with the serial number from my original boxed cd set and it didn't work. I tried using the download serial number and that doesn't work either. Need help!

    I understand that you have also used the download link & serial number from Adobe - CS2 Downloads, if still the CS2 is not working, then please refer to the system requirement for e.g System requirements | Photoshop
    The issue can be that the present operating system might not be compatible with the CS2.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions?  If not, please let me know where.  Here's my question:  Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder".  What to do?

    Is this now where to ask DVD Studio Pro questions?  If not, please let me know where.  Here's my question:  Using DVD Studio Pro 3, when trying to burn a disc which is 4.5GB, I get error message "Not eough disk space in target folder".  What to do?

    Thanks.  Unfortunately, I need to make a master DVD that can then be duplicated in bulk as a single layer disc.  This surprises me because I tried burning a different DVD project that has worked in the past which is also 4.5 GB and now I could not burn that either.  I also reencoded some material to get the new project down to 4.4 GB but it still would not burn.  Any ideas are appreciated.

  • When I have selected multiple paths using the pen tool, I can't make a selection out of them all, but only of the last one I created.

    I want to make a selection with both paths in the selection. But it's only allowing me to select one, if I try both the paths just dissapear.

    Similarly to what @JJMack said, if you use the direct selection tool (shortcut: A), you can either select all of the paths, or select a blank area of the canvas (which will deselect all paths) and then selecting the 'convert path to selection' button should convert them all simultaneously.
    This is one of several bothersome changes to the path selection functionality in CC.

  • I have installed airport express and it lights steady green. But when I use the airport tool, nothing can be found.

    I have installed airport express on my Window 7 and had problem to find the airport express.
    I solved the problem by turning off my AVG firewall and  the airport tool found the airport express and it went steady green.
    I then turned on the AVG firewall again and it continues ok.
    But when I turn off and restarted my laptop I have to follow the same procedure.
    The AVG firewall is set to All Allowed for the airport express.
    Is there anybody out there that can give assistance to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    I solved the problem myself by updating the Wi-fi driver.
    Now it works perfect.

  • I cant type and use the touchpad, I got this for causal gaming and I really need help.

    If im holding down ANY key the touchpad doesnt work, I have the touchpad on no delay so I can move it right after i stop holding a button, but i cant move and aim at the same time, please help!

    Hi there ,  Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I read your post on the HP Support Forums and wanted to answer your post. I understand that you cannot use the Touchpad and the key functions at the same time.  Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the mouse and Touchpad gestures. In the document, it shows you how to change the settings by clicking the settings icon to adjust the button actions on the Touchpad. Sometimes this is caused by an update that is needed. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that might need updating. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks

  • IOS5.0.1 constant error "iPhone can not make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes":  I get this message and the phone will no longer work (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range).  help!

    All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4.  Newest OS.  Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help.  Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on.  After first time this happened, I restored.  Six days later...same problem!  Clearly a new fix is necessary.  Suggestions? 

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

    Hi,
            Any data sharing accross views can be achiveved by defining CONTEXT data in COMPONENT CONTROLLER and mapping it to the CONTEXT of all the views. Follow the below steps.
    1. Define a CONTEXT NODE in component controller
    2. Define same CONTEXT NODE in all the views where this has to be accessed & changed.
    3. Go to CONTEXT NODE of each view, right click on the node and choose DEFINE MAPPING.
    This is how you map CONTEXT NODE and same can be accessed/changed from any VIEW or even from COMPONENT CONTROLLER. Any change happens at one VIEW will be automatically available in others.
    Check the below link for more info regarding same.

    kj.arm,
    which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?
    If you’re currently booted into Windows on your MacBook Pro, restart Windows in the normal way, but hold down an Option key once you hear the startup chime — that will put you in the Startup Manager, which will show you an icon for each available bootable OS. Use the arrow keys to select your OS X partition, and press Return; that will boot OS X. Once you’ve logged in, select the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences. If the padlock icon in the lower left of the window is locked, click on it (and provide the appropriate password) to unlock it. You will see a set of bootable OS icons to choose from for which OS you would like to boot from by default; presuming that you prefer to boot from OS X by default, select the icon that corresponds to your OS X partition, and press the “Restart…” button. It should now default to booting into OS X.

  • Using iTunes store I hv purchased 5 Video songs driectly on iPhone.I have paid $1.30 per song. Now I am not able to play those songs on iphone.I am getting error message "Unknown Error" If I do not connect any WiFi or 3G.

When WiFi or 3G data services are off it gices error message- "Unknown Error". I have spent so much money and can't play my Video songs on iPhone without using networ.
    Please help.

    I am experiencing the same issue as dwarfland. I have a black 64GB iPhone 5s running iOS version 7.1.1 and a grandfathered unlimited data plan with AT&T. I have had an iTunes Match subscription pretty much since it was introduced. I currently have around 19500 songs in my music library and try to have only around 2000-2500 songs physically located on the phone itself (all of my "top-rated" songs in a single playlist). I have recently needed to re-download all these "top-rated" songs after I restored my phone from a backup, wiping all the songs from my phone. Thanks for posting your experiences, hopefully someone from Apple will notice and help us out with a solution.

    Hello @annlf 
    Welcome to the HP Community!
    I hope to help you with the scanning concern you have today.
    Unfortunately, you will not be able to scan using HP software with your PSC 1315 (older model), on Mavericks (newer OS X), as there is no Full Feature driver (includes scanning software) available.
    However, you do have some other options to scan. See this link for your options. Scroll down when the guide loads and select "How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?"
