If you have ever accidentally locked a layer in Photoshop, you know it can be frustrating. Fortunately, there is a way to unlock it. Here’s how:

1. Select the locked layer in the Layers panel.

2. Click the “Lock” icon at the top of the Layers panel.

3. A dialog box will appear asking if you want to unlock the layer. Click “OK”.

And that’s it! The layer will now be unlocked and you can make changes to it. Just be careful not to accidentally lock it again.

If you have ever accidentally locked a layer in Photoshop, you know it can be frustrating. Here’s how:

PRO TIP: If you are working in Photoshop and have accidentally locked a layer, don’t panic! There are a few ways to unlock the layer and get back to editing.

First, try double-clicking on the locked layer. This should bring up a dialog box where you can enter a password to unlock the layer. If you don’t know the password, you can click the “Forgot Password?” button to reset it.

If double-clicking on the locked layer doesn’t work, you can also right-click on the layer and select “Unlock Layer” from the menu. Again, if you don’t know the password you can click the “Forgot Password?” button to reset it.

If neither of these methods work, it’s possible that the layer is not actually locked. Try editing the layer or moving it around to see if it’s just stuck. If all else fails, you can always create a new layer and start over!

And that’s it!
