Unlocking a PSD Image File
OK I've discovered how to do this so I'll share the fix. An Adobe employee contacted me and answered my question. Since this image had been saved in Multichannel Mode, I could not unlock it, until I changed the Mode to grayscale, then added a new layer, Saved As and now I can resize the image according the the buyers need for a larger image file. I don't think I've ever dealt with leaving a file in a multichannel mode with an Alpha Channel so this was news to me. I have a workflow I pursue and rarely ever work outside it so this was a tough one.
Great news and many thanks to ssprengle.

Ever found that you cannot unlock an image file in Photoshop? Often times all we have to do is right-click, choose rename and we are good to go. Alternatively you could use the Windows system browser (Mac system browser) and then choose, Properties and unclick the Read only box under the General Tab toward the bottom.
But I have found that I cannot unlock an image file and am looking for your help. I saved it originally as a PSD from CR2 (RAW in Canon-speak). Then somewhere along the way I must have created an Alpha Channel as following the file name in parenthesis is this (Alpha 1/8). I have tried all the known ways and am hoping someone can help me with this.
