RGB layers / Photoshop Elements ?

Hello all,

I have yet to spend the $$ on Photoshop 7.0 but am currently Photoshop Elements. I've been trying to align the RGB layers of the image below,but.......I continue to receive a warning screen that says "layer locked" I seem to have the same Layers Pallete as the more $$ Photoshop but cannot seem to align the color channels. Is there a simple solution to my problem (besides a course in Computer Graphics) :^)

Thanks for the help in advance

To move a color layer in Photoshop 5.5 or later (may also work with Elements and earlier versions of Photoshop, but not tested there):

* Open the Channels palette
* Select the channel you want to move (e.g., Green) by clicking on the channel name
* To see the other color channels while you do this adjustment, click in the "eyeball box" at the left of the RGB channel. You now see all channels, but only the selected channel will be affected.
* Select All (Ctrl + A) so you can move the channel's layer.
* Hold down the Ctrl key and use the arrow key to move the channel.

Repeat for any other channel that requires alignment.
