Selection tool grabs locked background image instead of strokes


Recommended Posts

I have the source image locked on a lower layer with the strokes and objects placed on a layer above. I am trying to grab the fills in order to edit them, but it grabs the photo instead, even though it's locked...

I included a picture. You can see the photo is selecting. Also included screenshots of the layer settings for the photo  Any ideas?

Try turning on Select Under and or Select Inside, on the Context menu. Alternatively select the required layers in the Layers Studio. Just slide finger across each required layer.
