I recently purchased elements 12.  When using layers, I noticed the background layer was only partially locked and not fully locked as I was assuming it should be.  I couldn't find anywhere that I could change this.

Photoshop :: CS6 32bit Image - Locked Background Layer?

Jun 22, 2013

In Photoshop CS6 why can't I unlock the background layer in a 32 bit image as you used to in CS5?

I only seam to find answers as "change it to 16 bit" but that's not a solution. In previous versions of Photoshop you were able to composite images in 32 bit.

Photoshop :: Locked Background Layers

Feb 21, 2008

I am trying simply to work with layers, however when I start a new document and then import a photo, the background automatically locks. The lock icon is visible in the layers pallate. I can drag that icon to the trash and import another photo but the first photo disapears as the layers all merge on top of one another and the lock icon returns.

Photoshop Elements :: Background Layer Seizes Added Images?

Jan 16, 2014

I am trying to create a photo collage by scratch (not using "Collage"). First I create a new blank page for the background and save it. It is shown as "locked" with a padlock. Then I open an image file (.jpg) to add to the background layer, and I get a message that I need to unlock the background layer so I click to unlock it. However the added image locks onto the background layer and doesn't make a new layer. If I open another image file it locks on top of the others.

Photoshop Elements :: Image Layer Expands To Background Dimensions?

Jan 10, 2014

When I create an image layer (say 1.5 x 1.5 inches) and when I set that image onto a background (say 2.5 x 2.5 inches) the image expands to the larger background size. 
 
Why? Or what am doing wrong that would cause this to happen.  I recently upgraded from PSE 9 to PSE 12.  This was never an issue with PSE 9.

Photoshop Elements :: Layer(s) Not Showing Up On Top Of Background - Only In Layers Panel?

Jan 16, 2014

Started working with PSE and when I tried to "stamp" a brush shape (whether default brushes or otherwise), the program does something it had never done before....SEE ATTACHED.  I will create a new layer to use my brush, but when I try to "stamp" it onto background, the program then creates a layer mask where I can see the brush shape AND a new layer, however ALL that shows up on the background is the icon you can see in my screen grab I am attaching here.  What is this icon? (The teeny one middle right of image, black square, outlined in red, with two red circles in the middle) I called Apple, we did a few things, they said it wasn't on there end.  I reset my tools, I uninstalled, reinstalled, to no avail. Again, I've reset all tools, the "eye" icon on layers panel shows it should be visible, I've tried layers-->merge visible, I've uninstalled and reinstalled.....

Oct 21, 2012

I want to keep the width pixel size the same but change the height of the background layer (canvas). When I unchecked constrain proportions and choose reshape, of course the proportions are off on the layers within and when I try to resize each of those layers, they become blurry.

Photoshop :: Why Is Layer 1 Locked In Every New Document

Oct 22, 2013

What is/are the benefits of having every background layer of a newly opened document locked? I have never come across a need for it and wish it wasn't. It only means I have to create a new layer and import an image to that. Or, double click the layer to unlock it. Is there a way to permanently eliminate that "preference?" It's like entering a room with your shoes tied together.

Photoshop :: Locked Layer - How To Unlock

Mar 13, 2013

one layer in a photoshop document has a padlock on it; no clue how it got there. I can't make it go away; perhaps the method is different in CS6 than in previous versions...
 
Any clue about this? I can't fill a selection on this particular layer...don't  know why. The layer in question IS selected, and the selection is active, etc.

Photoshop :: Problem With Locked Layer...

Jun 9, 2006

I'm attempting to finish some artwork, and I seem to have run into a problem. I duplicated a layer--filled with white--and locked the transparent pixels in the duplicated layer. When I try to color over it, there are some white pixels showing about the edges. Inexplicably, these white pixels don't even seem to be in the layer that I'm trying to color at all--but the original layer underneath. When I hide the original layer, the white pixels disappear. What's going on?

Photoshop :: How To Select Locked Layer When Too Many Layers Overlapping

Sep 6, 2013

How to select a locked layer when you have too many layers overlapping?
 
I know I can select all the layers, lock them and unlock them. But I can't lock/unlock all layers when some layers are hidden. I'll have to dig in to unhide those layers. But then I don't want to unhide all layers, because it will make changes to my design that I wouldn't know.
 
Is there a smart way to find/select the lock layer?

Photoshop :: Partially Locked Layer But No Icon Highlighted Under Lock

Jul 7, 2013

1. I try to use any auto correction such as tone, and nothing appears to change

2. I see the small layers 'background' icon flashing as I do this into the black and white check pattern

3. It seems that the layer background is partially locked- (when I scroll my mouse over the 'lock' icon this is written)

Yet there is no icon above in 'lock' that is highlighted. So I cannot unlock it.I am able to adjust in all other methods which are not auto corrections. Perhaps I changed some settings accidentally?

May 1, 2012

I am trying to assign objects (only in UNLOCKED layers) with a new layer.So basically, the user will select all the objects in the drawing.
