Need to edit locked photo
Hi,
I am using photoshop cs2. I intend to edit the photo.
1) So I open photoshop and then say file–>open–><
>. The image is a gif file.
2) But I see that everything is disabled. The layer, filters, etc. The only options available are the tools like crop, select,etc and canvas size, image size etc.
3) I am not being able to do anything with the image. I am not even able create a new layer since the layer menu is disabled.
4) I have also tried to save the file as a tiff and then make changes but the result is the same as above.Any help how can I unlock the layer/image will be of help.
Thanks,

If you are Mac OS then in the finder select the file and do > FILE > GET INFO and change ownership & permissions and details.

I am on windows and I don’t think it is a permission issue. Also the file is not read only.

Sounds like you opened a index color mode image. Try converting to RGB.

with gifs I often will select all >copy and paste to a new document.
