All layers are not created equal. Some are locked when created and some are not. I cannot correlate the locked status with any other condition. I can’t even create a layer that is originally locked when I want to. It happens or doesn’t happen at PhotoShop’s whim, not mine.
Now, this really doesn’t bother me because (1)It is infrequent, at least for me, and (2)The layer can be readily unlocked with one mouse click. What DOES bother me, however, is the constant whining of a colleague who is absolutely bugged by it. In our weekly group meetings, every time it happens, he turns to me and asks if I have figured it out yet. (These meetings are about digital imaging, not group therapy).
Having thus stated my problem, I throw myself at the mercy of the forum. Please, can somebody get my friend off my back! What determines the locked or unlocked initial status of a layer when created? How can I create an initially locked layer when I want to—if for no other purpose than to replicate the condition? OR, how do I politely get my friend to knock it off?
