Try opening up an image of a US bill in Photoshop CS.

Or a bill of any widespread currency.

Guess what happens?

If you attempt to open an image of a bill in CS, you'll get the above error.
uh huh...how does it do a rendering check on it, and how exactly does it check for watermarks on the note, or whatever. There is probably a piece of code that can be chopped or augmented, heh but then that would only be done for defacing forgery, or um yea. I wonder if Kai's does that, or any other photo editing software. Adobe does work with the government though, like the makers of pgp do. [censored] sellouts:D
What happens if you pull up forigen curency? I recomend not to do this but if you were to print out say mexican money and got to a U.S. embassy to exchange it..... You get the idea.
I'd imagine it hits on water marks liek I said, if so, it would hit on foreign bills too;/
try counterfieting the new zealand currency you cant scan a chicken in and try tell a farmer it is a chicken can u..
:p
Here is a picture to where photoshop looks to see if it is currency. http://s92873501.onlinehome.us/Series2004NoteFrontPROTECTION.jpg
dood thanks vdubelu:) nice to see ppl still care about this stuff.
uhm, old news.

but this really doesn't stop you from counterfeiting, just use an older version of PS and install CS on another hard drive. Simple wink Also, you can probably override it with some stenography that'll break up photoshop's perception of the image; something like ADMutate does for NOP sleds and stuff like that to avoid IDS' that check that stuff.
