That could actually be possible. Reasonably sized dollar bills will trigger some sort of error message in Photoshop as well.
>> Anonymous
Fact: Photoshop has a hidden code that sends a message to the FBI whenever a dollar is scanned. Code is hidden in the Adobe Update program, so that it pass through firewalls.

I don't know if you were joking or just trying to bring it up. If you didn't know though, us currency has the blue and red fibers in there on purpose to aid in counterfeit detection.

the funny thing about that is the it's not the Photoshop application that's doing the actual scanning so how would it know?...
also it's prefectly legal to scan ca$h money and use it in graphic design - you see it all time in financially related junk mail etc. yer just not suppoed to re-produce the bill in full at the exact size as a real one... but you can if it's larger or smaller then actual size...

Holy hell. I didn't know about the protection in photoshop. I don't have a 20, but I tried to open a super super highres scan I finally found(google doesn't seem to have many indexed) and it gave me the message. I'm trying to find out what part it detects and how it does it. I've found other people's work online, but nobody knows yet. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sjm217/projects/currency/

It doesn't use those constellations.

Holy hell squared! None of the printers in my house(4 of them total) will print it either. They start and then quit. My lexmark turns off. This is fucking insane. It's everywhere.

There are two mechanisms: The one called EURion and the CDS system, which is an invisible watermark. Both can be broken easily: Load the image into GMask (Japanese image masking/de-masking tool), use horizontal glass blocks with a width of 50, copy&paste image into Photoshop, use rectangle mask and vertical mirroring to reverse horizontal glass blocks. Resize image, save and voila: EURion/CDS gone, PS CS1 will load the saved image without problems...

Jeez guys, everybody knows about CDS/EURion. Of course money is protected against counterfeiting, must be, or the economy would collapse. But did you know that most color laser printers/copiers embed a code containing their series number and a timestamp into every document printed ? The code consists of tiny pale yellow dots hardly discernible with the naked eye. Go look it up.

don't know why all the elaborate protection schemes as no one but your old half blind ma and pa at the corner circle K shop would be fooled by a bill printed from a standard inkjet desktop printer... yer not going to be able to get the right kind of paper and you won't have the holograms or the watermarks in yer copy... I mean please.

Photoshop CS2 will let you open and edit banknotes, but just not print them. Wow, now that's a deterrent.

If you understand printing and paper and other related skills. You too can live comfortably counterfeiting money for profit. This is some of my latest batch. God bless America.

only morons counterfiet large bills. Everyone checks large bills. Key to a successful counterfieting scheme, never do anything over 5

My bills are as close as the real thing. No problems so far. Ten years of counterfeiting teaches you a lot. I also print 5s, 10s and 20s. In God I trust.

Where would one learn as much as you? i imagine you can only learn so much working in printing other things so to really become an expert at printing money you have to practice but in counterfeitting often practice makes arrested.

Bank notes are also art. this one posted here is not usable for counterfeiting, it's spoiled, used and posted here before. everybody has one in his wallet, just take a close look, it's craftsmanship that's rare these days (even with our magnificent technologies)...
>> Ejacu1337
They should definitely have different scan
maps for different parts of the bill..

Like for the translucent map, reflective map,
particle map, and the actual diffuse map. Then
the printer would easily compile that. somehow

You ever see the back of a twenty dollar bill... on weed? Oh, there's some crazy shit, man. There's a dude in the bushes. Has he got a gun? I dunno! RED TEAM GO, RED TEAM GO.

there's no protection in GIMP, is there?

and you honestly don't have to be all that great in counterfeiting to get away with making a few bills here and there. if it looks close and feels close, people don't question it.

there is a legal size to making copies of money, I don't remember exactly but I think its either 100 times larger or 100% larger. Does anyone know the exact size?

Because my 20 is already like 5 inches by 2 inches, having a 500 by 200 inch 20 is a logical requirement.

change some colors in photoshop then have your printers ink cartridge changed to print the color you changed as the correct color and problem solved.
