Hello,

Hopefully you wonderful people can help me. I have a file with grouped layers. Nothing is locked I have checked all layers. Everytime I go to move or transform the group it tells me I can't because it contains a locked layer. Is this an error within Photoshop and if so How can I work around it or am I doing something wrong.

As you can see no locked layers.

Still getting this error message

Seems like a good news, bad news situation.

• I can reproduce the behaviour and I do not know what causes it.

• I can work-around it by ungrouping the Layers and grouping them anew, then transforming the Group seems to work.

Thank you,

I can't move them up or down as a group and the entire purpose of this file is for positioning. I recreated the file and that one works fine. My guess another Adobe glitch.

For testing purposes, try selecting and moving or transforming one layer at a time to see if that works.
