Dynamic Lighting and background map objects

When editing a map with dynamic lighting and a image in the map layer I sometimes move the background image throwing off the dynamic lighting. Is there a way to lock the specific images in the map layer so they don't move? Thanks!  Dave

If you have a large background map, you can move it temporarily to the GM layer. It will be uneditable and you can control the opacity with the slider int he layer toolbar. When you move it back, if it obscures anything, you can right-click to send it to the back.
Thanks for the info I also figured out that I could do the edits on the token layer and move them to the map layer. Dave
