Peachy ? yes, part of one of my large oil paintings.

As I said, I don't have any experience of locking etc and am willing to learn. All I know is that I loaded the jpg and did nothing to it in Xara except to send it to Filter Forge and when it came back to Xara the status was shown as locked.
The locked notice is shown at the bottom left of the image I posted.
Neither programme crashed or complained.
