437984 2006-03-14 07:15:00 I have a CD full of old photos that have been recorded on the disc as read only. I want to photoshop them. When, after editing, I try to save in Photoshop it tells me that the file is locked, go to Properties in Windows Explorer to unlock. I do that and in the File-Properties window I clear (untick) the Read Only toggle, but when I then try to apply that option I am told "Error Applying Attributes. An error occurred applying attributes to the file. Access is denied."

Does anyone know a way around this?

437985 2006-03-14 07:23:00 copy 1 photo from the disc to your desktop then try editing that photo...
if it works then copy all photos to your hard drive and work from there..

from what I know, you cant edit photos and expect them to be updated on the disc...
