To delete all user slices and layer-based slices:
Do one of the following:
a.. (Photoshop) Choose View > Clear Slices.
b.. (ImageReady) Choose Slices > Delete All.

You instructed Photoshop to show you the slices, probably accidentally
by clicking on the Slice or Slice Select tool. Turn off the slices by
using the View command, and going to Show, and turning off Slices.
Generally speaking, any time you see something on the screen that you do
not want to see, you should go to the View command to turn it off.
If your images are locked and can not be saved, that probably means that
they were copied form a CD. Windows (stupidly) marks any image copied
from a CD as read-only. You can either use the Save As command to save
the image somewhere else, or you can right-click the image in Windows
Explorer, go down to Properties, and unlock the image there my making
sure it is not set to "read only."

I wonder why I've not experienced that.

It also does it if you use the camera/scanner wizzard. I have had to
rotate in elements and thensave, because the windows preview won't let me
turn it, claiming it is 'read only'. Incidentally, explorer doesn't say
they are read only, but the preview says they are!

I use the wizard and have no problems with rotating images as it downloads
the thumbnails.
Are you trying to rotate images still on the Flash Card?
I also can rotate any image in the picture fax viewer without that error
xp pro sp2

No, not on the card. I downloaded a load to a folder on the hard disc,
then when going through with preview it let me rotate some, but not
others. I know it's strange, but it is true, and I can't see any reason
for it. I just got used to doing it all in photoshop elements 4 now.
Incidentally, if I let PSE4's camera downloader do the job, there is no
problem with rotating while still in the browser. Why windows should
decide some are read-only, and others not is a mystery.
Yes, my XP Pro, SP2 is up-to date, as is my Photoshop Elements 4.
Here's another for you. My Elements 4 steadfastly refuses to work unless
I disable my graphics card accelerators, using DXDiag. So now I have a
short-cut to dxdiag on my desktop so I can turn pff acceleration to use
PSE4, and turn it back on again for everything else. Funny, PSE3 works
fine with acceleration on. Adobe seem unable or unwilling to resolve that
one, but want me to pay a huge amount to upgrade to CS2. I won't until
they prove they can solve this problem.

| To remove the lock on all files in a folder, use Notebook and make file

attrib -r *.*
It's so simple when you get past WindoZe.

Ahh, those were the days! Good old-fashioned DOS batch files. That's OK,
but as I said, there is no read-only attribute set. Right-click on the
offending file in explorer, and view the properties, but the ReadOnly and
Hidden attribute boxes are clear. It's a mystery why it happens. If I
download say 40 pictures from the camera, and maybe 15 have been taken in
portrait format, about half will rotate happilly and the others will
complain, then revert to landscape. If it really was read only, I
wouldn't be able to write over it from PSE4 or anything else for that
matter. It doesn't bother me, I just get on with it in PSE, and one day
the mystery might just be revealed??

some files when I rotate them Win Pic fax viewer says it has to save them
over the orig files, overwriting the original so it won't let you unless you
click yes. The program itself is re-writing your original files when you
rotate and instead of just previewing the rotate it is actually having to
change the file??
dunno if this making sense

I don't think it does overwrite it. Example: If I have say 5 pictures
that need rotating by 90deg, it might do the first one without complaint,
at which point it HAS overwritten the original file. Now if it complains
at the second one, although it shows me the picture with the correct
orientation, when I move on, and then move back again, it has reverted to
it's original and I have to rotate it again. The complaint from the
wizzard always says that the file is write protected, and I wonder if
there is some subtle difference between 'write protected' and 'read
only'. If I look with windows explorer and the right-click properties,
it is not read only. I have even gone to a does box and used the attrib
command, but that also shows the file as not being read only.
It's just completely weird, and as I say, I just do it all in elements
now and have done with it. Elements never complains about write
protection or read only, it just turns the picture. It's nothing more
than curiosity now, because I am so used to it.
Thanks anyway to everyone who has tried to answer this. I don't suppose
even Microsoft would be able to explain it.
Keep snapping folks.

Actually, I believe that I read somewhere that this is an issue with CS2 as
well, and that it's apparently bad enough that it won't work at all with
some graphic cards. I have 6 and CS, but not CS2, so can't attest from
personal experience.

That wouldn't surprise me. If the newest version of Elements won't work
with acceleration. then it is logical that the newest version of
photoshop won't either. I know PS7 works OK, and elements 2 & 3, so I
wonder what they have changed in the newer versions? After all, there is
hardly a new machine comes out without acceleration, so the folks at
Adobe will be severely restricting their market if their new versions
won't work on new machines. Of course it could be an underhand plot to
make everybody buy a MAC so they don't have to make more than one
version!

Windows versions prior to Windows XP would mark any file copied off any
CD as "read only;: unless you edited the Properties for the file, you
could not modify, delete, or save over it.
XP seems to have fixed this rather boneheaded user interface quirk.
