Photoshop Censorship

[JimS]

I saw them demo this on TchTV's "The Screen Savers" Friday show. Photoshop CS would not scan a US $20 bill. They said other currencies as well, but didn't show this. Nothing was said about opening scans made by other means...  So keep your old software :-)

Maybe if American bills weren't so damn easy to copy, stuff like this wouldn't be a problem. It amazes me to see money from all of the poor countries of the world that look like tapestries... and in THIS arrogant coutry, we have the plain, old, ugly greenback

Well, the US banknotes are considered 'classics' and as such represent stabilty & such...  Personally, I think much of the foreign currency I've seen looks like Monopoly money. A bit garish for my tastes. :-) But to each his own... and I'll spend it regardless of what it looks like, :-)
