OK.... Just back from a trip and I must have inadvertently hit the protection button on my D800. Just a few of my 750 images were "protected" and I didn't notice that until after I imported them to my computer. As I am screening my images post vacation, I cannot rotate, score with stars, or delete any of these files in Photoshop Bridge. Is there a way to un-lock these files in Bridge? I's rather not go back to the camera and unlock them.

If there's no context menu there's still likely a similar menu somewhere. Alternative #2 is use ... I think it's called "finder?" to locate the files, and there's probably a way in there to remove the read-only attribute.
That's assuming on Mac the locked attribute is a file system read-only attribute as well. I do not know that, but it seems simplest if they did the same there.
