When I go into the file browser and view the images, what are the pad locks?

James,

A few less punctuation marks next time... you HAVE a question... we get the point.

You need to copy the file off the CD before you can make and save any modifications James.

Photoshop has nothing to do with that.

So are you saying I can not make a dup of this cd? I am not real familiar with PS.

What OS?

If I remember correctly, if you're using 9.x, you need to copy them somewhere other than the desktop.

Try clicking on one of the files in finder to highlight. Go to File>Get info. See if the "locked" box its checked.

I drag the file into the hard drive and then open my file browser from PS and it still shows the pad locks. I am confused. I guess I am not good with computers or something.

Don't worry about the pad locks. You can still OPEN the image in Photoshop and alter it - you just have to save it with a different name. That means you have to use "Save As" instead of Save.

I've always been able to open Photoshop do***ents placed on the Desktop under Mac OS 9.x and earlier.

I'm working from memory here but doesn't that just create a shortcut to the CD? You can open them but you're actually opening the file from the CD right?

It's been a while.
