I LOVE the trick of dragging the padlock to the trash!!! It may only save a second or two, but every second counts!

Or, even better, you can drag the little padlock icon in the background layer onto the trash icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.

You can also just drag the lock icon from the Background layer to the trash can and it becomes a regular layer.

Even easier, just drag the lock, in the layer, to the delete bin. This is a tip from Julieanne Kost.

Or, yet another way: drag the “lock” icon from the background layer to the trash can! Makes sense, in a weird sort of way. Photoshop is so multi-dimensional! mh++

or just click on the padlock on the background in the layers palette and drag it to the trash and it’s a layer !!
