If you have Photoshop CS2 copy this pic open or paste it in CS2 then try to print it. I'm not sure what is going to happen in the other photoshops... but let me know what happens in CS2?.

Holy sh!t, that's pretty wild! It will let me edit it but not print it.

When I open it in CS2 I get the following:

This application does not support the printing of banknote images.

You can open and edit this image but you will not be able to print it as is. For more information blah blah blah....

I can't believe how fast it seemed to react to me pasting it into CS2; it was almost instantaneous.

Here's a question for anyone that might know:
Is burning money considered illegal by the federal government. I know burning it in the slang terminology happens every day and my guess is that its OK to burn it (I know the govt does it when bills go out of circulation) but can I just sit and burn piles of money if I have earned them?

Thanks for the cool test w/the picture.

I believe that's "defacing government property" and is therefore illegal.

However I could be wrong cuz it seems those machines that smush images into pennies should be illegal too, but they're everywhere.

Yes it scared the crap out of me when I was editing it. I was like I hope the feds are not going to be watching me thinking I'm making counterfeit money. Now at least they will come for all of you as well.

I got the same message with my photo. I don't even have entire bill visible.



Yes, as far as I know it is illegal to destroy money.

If you destroy money, it is effectively taken out of circulation and is lost from your countries economy - Is it something to do with that?!?!?

Also it has faces of presidents (Queen in the UK etc) so is classed as defacing blah blah...

It is not illegal to burn or otherwise damage US currency, except for the purpose of committing fraud.

However, generally speaking, the Treasury Department will only replace damaged currency if you have more than half the bill.

Okay, THIS is what really irks me. It can determine that within a second's time of trying to paste it.

Okay, so some algorythm is damn fast....why do all my processes have to be so slow? If they can determine that, why can't they determine other recognition aspects as quickly.

And lastly, how much of my $$$ that I spent on CS2 went toward a feature that prevents me from printing my documents?

It should only prevent you from printing within Photoshop. You should be able to save the file as a TIFF and print from almost any other program.

Also, if it's so smart, it should be able to recognize the scale of the document and whether or not it's intact; it is not illegal to reproduce US currency outside of certain sizes (I think smaller than 75% or larger than 133%) or if you reproduce only a section of a bill.



The laws are mainly designed to prevent counterfeiting and fraud.

BTW: I don't have this problem with PS 5.0 -- upgrading is not always advantageous : )

PSP v8.0 gives me the same message. It won't even let me open the file in PSP, not even as a TIFF file.
But, I can print it using ACDSee v5.0

How long until it's standard. ANd yes it should allow the printing of skewed, partial, etc. Just prevent near scale full printing.

Thank God for PS7.

Or I'd have to live off my pension....:D

I have jasc psp8 and I was able to open it and print it but I cancelled the printing because I don't want to waste printer ink lol.

The currency of many countries is included in this print prohibition. But I wish they had devoted all that effort to making CS2 perform better, as it is very slow to load, insists on stupidity like "checking for updates", and will occasionally hangup when trying to exit the program. If I had not received this as a gift I would want my money back!
 02/21/2006 12:26:09 PM · #17
Interesting....... my PS CS2 didn't recognize this one as money:



I guess that means that the significant part that it recognizes, isn't visible in my photo.
 02/21/2006 12:28:15 PM · #18
Open it an a viewer hit the printscreen key and paste it into photoshop.
& voilà.

From what I understand it is NOT illegal to destroy any note or coin of the us treasury. You will just be out that amount.

I'd heard about that feature from someone once, but I tried taking a photo of a $20 bill and opening it and it didn't care, for mine.

It got pissed when I tried to open that one though. My bill might have been crinkled or something.. forgot, lol
 02/21/2006 12:33:58 PM · #21
I've heard about this but never tried it. On our new money, there are small circles in patterns. Photoshop and other programs and even printers detect this.

Adobe Counterfeit Deterrence System(CDS)

You wouldn't know this but your printer also prints out a serial number on each print for the same purposes.

If you resize, the proportions will be off enough not conflict.

legal or illegal, I could not afford to burn anything real. Not even a single.

PS7 doesn't seem to have the same safeguard. I printed this picture, but more importantly, the $100 bill is printed off PS7 itself in perfect proportions. Must be new technology.
 02/21/2006 02:47:56 PM · #24
This is new behavior that I believe was first introduced in either CS or CS2, can't remember at the moment. I personally think it's a bit ludicrous, it's really just CYA on Adobe's part. If somebody really wants to print counterfeit bills, they'll find a way.

That is how I planned to do mine, but it would not let me. Good thing for me, we just got a scanner/printer/copier combo, so I was able to just make copies on that.

I never tried just printing it with some other software, I guess I was a little to freaked out to.
