ASprogis:Files I have created on my system show locked status when imported.
What does the lock mean and why import the file into a bin?
Does it imply that there is a process or procedure to execute?
If you mean images that you created outside of PS are not locked when
imported into PS, that show a “lock” symbol, can you describe such a
symbol that is attached to each file when in PS? I know of no such
symbol. There are other symbols, such as ! when a thumbnail is not
linked to an actual image on your drive plus other symbols.
Project
Bins provide a degree of organization and isolation to see only/all
media you bring into each specific project. So, you can have multiple
projects in your PS library and work with each independently. You need
not use project bins but in time will see their value. Apparently, they
are used by the pro's (aren’t we all) in other very professional
commercial video editing s/w.
