Hi Trevor,

to lock an object, right-click on it and select 'object properties', then check the 'lock' checkbox.
Unlocking is currently only possible for all objects at once via 'Object' menu.

You can also put your objects on separate layers, which can easily be locked an unlocked using the layers dialog (Ctrl+Shift+L).

I don't understand what you mean by 'extracting images based on color alone'. Can you explain that a little more?

Kind regards,
 Maren
