Thanks for the reply. As it turns out, the lock was checked on all my images already. I finally figured out that when protecting the worksheet, examine the actions you will allow after it is protected. Before entering a password, scroll to the very bottom and make sure the check is removed from "edit objects".

I also found that headers and footers are not protected by worksheet protection methods.
