Help! Permissions problems with image files - GoFuckYourself.com

I've never had a problem like this before. One of the girls whose site I run sent me her latest batch of photosets. I usually need to edit them in photoshop. Unfortunately, I am unable to save any of the changes made to any of these images. I keep getting a message saying that the files are locked.

I use a mac. So I go to file>get info and try to unlock them. I set all the permissions to 'read AND write' and make sure that the 'locked' box is unchecked for each file. But I still can't save them -- in any application (photoshop, fireworks). Any suggestions???

I tried copying them into another file but the copy seems to bring the original permissions with it. In other words, it don't work!

I've done everything I can on my end. I've unlocked the files and changed all the file permissions to read and write. But none of my image applications will save them (photoshop, fireworks, iphoto, etc... ). Now I am gonna have pissed off members and, most probably, a pissed off model.

Hmmm! I downloaded your file and was able to edit and save it. What did you do to the file, besides making it B&W?

That's really weird. Let me try something here.

keep going, you almost have it.

This is fucking weird. If I post the image on GFY and then download it, I can then save the new file (i.e., the permissions are gone). Unfortunately, I can't get the same result by loading the file in my browser directly from the harddrive and then saving it. So, I guess I'm gonna have to post all my photosets on GFY.
