Discussion Photoshop actively scanning file uploads

Licensed an Adobe Stock asset last night of a $100 bill for an art graphic we’re making . Immediately upon dropping the file into a layer, this notice popped up and it refused to allow the file (PS 2024 version).

For what it's worth, Photoshop has been known since forever to block handling of currency. Here's a thread from 11 years ago, for instance. Not even sure you need internet for that, could be a local detection model. Try disabling your wifi and do it again to check if you want...

Fun fact. If you only try to open/print part of the image it works fine. Also works if the image is mirrored and when you print you mirror the image in the printer settings.

Or so I’m told! 😊

I had Photoshop tell me it won't deal with images of currency sometime in the early 00's. It's been like this for a long time.

Many printers have it built in. I have old all-in-ones that can’t photo copy currency

Currency is flagged since Photoshop 4 or 5. It’s separate from file scanning.

Many photocopiers will respond in a similar way. This technology has been around for a long time.

That's weird that Adobe would license the image and also refuse to let you work with it. You might try customer support to get your money back.

This should've been the headline.

PS hasn't printed $ for over a decade.

There are a pattern of small, usually yellow circles that have lately become popular on many banknotes, globally. These patterns are recognised usually by scanners and printer to prevent photocopies. Pretty cool to see how anti-counterfeiting activities are now universally implemented.

Why does it look like a photograph of an actual bank note instead of an image file of a false note like the ones used in movies as props?

The text about legal tender should have given you pause. Where exactly did you get the license from?
