Locked image in photoshop?

Maccy · 22 Oct 2008 at 12:35

I've received an email from a friend with some pictures and I'd like to edit one in photoshop. However I can't create any new layers or change the background layer. The background layer is locked and when I try to create a new layer from the menu, all options are blanked out and I get a small black circle with a line through it if I try to create a new layer from the bottom right menu. Any ideas?

select all, copy, open up a new file, paste. Edit to your heart's content

The image is either a bitmap, or some silly bitrate.

go to the toolbar, select Image, Mode, RGB colour. That should do it I think..
