    Hi, when you click on the lock transparency, you are supposed to get a hollow lock icon on your layer,
    "Indicates layer is partially locked" is the tooltip you get when you hover that lock.

    A full lock would be a filled lock, you get it when you click the lock at the end of the icons.

    You might be confused as the background layer also gets an hollow lock, but you can paint on it, therefore it is not fully locked.

    Isn't it what you get?

    Are you referring to the various Lock options in the top section of the Layers panel?

    Can you clarify what this means and what you are hoping to do?

    Since your other thread is about Photoshop, I'm moving this to that forum.

    Hi

    Can you tell us which Adobe application you're using so we can move the thread to the correct forum, I would assume it's Photoshop
