Question

how will you unlock the background in adobe Photoshop​

Answer 1

Answer:

When you create a new image in Photoshop CS6, or if you open an existing image within the program, there is a strong chance that the background or initial layer is going to be locked. This can be problematic if you want to make certain changes, such as transforming that layer. Fortunately you can follow the steps outlined below to unlock that layer and have more freedom with how you want to manipulate it.

Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop.

Step 2: Make sure that the Layers panel is visible by clicking Windows at the top of the screen and checking for the check mark to the left of the Layers option. If the check mark is there, then the Layers panel is visible. If the check mark is not there, then select the Layers option.

Step 3: Select the locked layer by clicking it in the Layers panel.

Step 4: Click the lock icon to the right of the layer name, then drag it to the trash can at the bottom of the Layers panel.

Step 5: You will notice that the lock icon is now gone from the layer, allowing you to freely edit the contents of that layer.
