Title: Photoshop Now letting Me Edit Money Photos?
Post by: pixel8 on August 17, 2016, 18:29
From my last shoot I have several photos that I am working on that have money involved. Typically Photoshop will not let you edit them now days, how ever I just edited 10 photos and every time photoshop did not stop me, which is great because I didn't have to use GIMP to get the job done.

Did Photoshop reverse their policy?

Photoshop detects the content of the imagery you're working on, and restricts functionality as a result? I've never heard of that. I'm obviously behind the times... sounds scary though.

I have just tried to open a photo with banknotes (€ + $) with Photoshop (CC 2015) and I got this message in return:

A right, for forgery, I get it. I was imagining some kind of image of a bunch of different currencies, at tasteful angles, a bit of depth of field etc. But high res, a straight on banknote, on it's own... makes sense.

Not just that.  It's very good at catching the security measures and stopping you at other angles.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation

I used to get that message but this time I didn't. I guess there will always be Gimp if it starts again.

the restriction is also on copiers, funny enough not on black and white copiers, only color

lol, msp, where are you going to pass out black and white counterfeit notes???
find a color-blind shop owners???

seriously, with many countries adding those plastic counterfeit proof strips on their bills
it may not be too easy anymore for a crook to use a photocopy,
... unless you're one of those exchange dudes who hang around airports of 3rd world countries
to exchange US for local. but still, maybe those who are not US citizens ,etc may find themselves
scammed by such incidents.
but even in mom and pops stores, they are wise to those old bills with no plastic strips,
they don't accept them anymore.

Are you pulling in your image as something other than a JPG, such as an illustrator file or PDF? That is a known work-around.
