Photoshop is frequently locking images. Following the dialog box advice below doesn't always work.

“Could not open ‘ImageName.jpg’ because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder.”

How can I stop this PS behavior? Seems to happen in spirts, and with no common characteristics in the locked images. PS is CC updated to the latest. Mac is Mac Mini (M1, 2020) Memory 8 GB, MacOS 11.7...

@brianw59208541 sorry I'm not a MAC user, so can't answer that question, I'll tag @jane-e she might be able to answer that question for you.

Maybe, Brian, but can any of us say with certainty what will happen in the next updates to Photoshop and macOS? 🙂 Full disk access is a security feature from Apple that was introduced with Mojave.
