When I open a photo in CS5 the layer is already locked and will not unlock. Cannot crop etc. This just started happening. Ideas?

When I opened a new photo layers are automatically locked and not will not unlock. It only started happening. Any ideas?

Some formats like jpg does not support layers, that's why it opens as a locked background layer.

You can unlock the layer by dragging the padlock in the trash. This will convert the background layer to a regular layer.

If this is still insufficient, capture your screen with the open layers panel and everything collapsed expanded layers. Then post here so we can see what is happening.
