That explains everything, doesn't it? Your file has a file-name
extension that matches some image file, so Emacs enters the Image mode
for it, and doesn't let you edit images (because image-editing
capabilities are not yet part of Emacs).
Solution: remove that extension from auto-mode-alist, and Bob's your
uncle.
Cool. That's what I want. So I guess I put something in ~/.emacs...
but what?
I don't know what is the file-name extension of that file, so I cannot
give a precise recipe. Assuming for a moment that its extension is
.png, I see that auto-mode-alist includes this element:
("\\.png\\'" . image-mode)
So to remove this, you need to do this:
(delete '("\\.png\\'" . image-mode) auto-mode-alist)
