How to Write-Protect Pictures

If you frequently crop, resize or manipulate pictures, you could accidentally overwrite the originals with your modified images. Write-protecting the pictures will prevent such mistakes and preserve your original images. You can still open and modify a write-protected image, but you won't be able to save the changes over the original image. Instead, you'll be prompted to use a different file name, ensuring that you maintain separate original and modified versions.
