i want to burn a disc with a photoshop file on it that is password protected. i'm trying to find the best method to do this. i was going to do a "new image" on disc utility, and i was told by one friend not to do it that way.

thanks in advance!

There may be a better way to do it, but Disk Utility will certainly work. You can't use it to password protect a single file . . . but you can create a password protected sparse image and then drag as many files as you want into to it. You can move or burn to disk the resulting disk image when you're ready.
