Hi, I made a flyer for my company and I at some point I locked it and now I need to change some information and cannot do so. How do I unlock this file so I can edit it?

Thanks so much for any help.

Yeah I'm talking about the layers being locked... Also do you know how to make text curve in like a semi circle or something? I'm trying to put text in like a state seal but don't know how to make it fit right inside.

Thanks.

I think you juist dubble click the layers and it will ask you to click ok and then they will unlock, as it sound's like you have flattend the layer.

If in CS2/3/4, there's a lock button. Choose the layer and click it. The images above should help you find it.
Warping Text is also shown above too..Alternatively you could rasterize the layer. Then, whilst making sure the layer is selected, press Ctrl+T. Now right click on the layer in the canvas [the area where you work], and choose Warp. At the top, you should have some different warps!
