New photoshop won't let you use images of new currency

[iwearnosox]

Over on /. but I just verified it, how rude..

1. Copy this image.
2. Open photoshop cs, ctrl+n
3. Paste, Ctrl+v
4. Enjoy the censorship.

Hmmm. I wasn't planning on counterfeiting but I didn't pay my upgrade fees for this "feature."

Thoughts?

Is that photshop CS?

A counterfeiter accidentally prints up a batch of $18 bills. He figures, what the heck, and heads off into the mountains to find some hillbillies, figuring they don't know anything about money anyway. He runs across a couple of them sitting on a porch, rolls down his window, and shouts, "Any of you got change for an $18 bill?"

One of them shouts back, "Sure do! You want 3 sixes or 6 threes?"

I can open it in PS. =)

Thats interesting. Does it allow you to c/p smaller 'parts' of the image, and reassemble them (I dont have Photoshop CS)?

Interesting. PSP 8.1 does the same thing.

Yup

Does it stop you from saving the image?

Haven't tried that.. lemme check.

EDIT: Yep. I can save it.

Confirmed here too, crazy.

Did anyone ever stop to think that the image might be watermarked? Thus the reason why you cannot open it in PS 8?
I bet if you scan in a 20 dollar bill, Photoshop CS will open it up without issue.....

Works for me

Linky no worky.

EDIT: You fixed it.

 

[SaigonK]

ok try this out.

You can actually open it in Imageready. LOL!

Just open up Photoshop CS, then launch Imageready and voila! the 20 dollar bill opens right up!
Then all you have to do is select "Edit in Photoshop" and it opens it up. What a joke!

 

[aircooled]

I wish I had 20 bucks to try it with...

Negative, it's been tried. Doesn't work.

That's not photoshop CS.

 

So how does it recognize the presence of money? It's not like every picture of a bill will be the same, especially if it's tilted a little...it would make it really hard for Photoshop to figure out it's a bill.

Maybe it looks for a certain % of color values?
