Is Adobe Photoshop CS Spying on You?
It’s official - Adobe Photoshop CS automatically prevents you from making copies of world currencies. Adobe have added technology to it’s market-leading image-editing application that generates a warning message when someone tries to make digital copies of some currencies. Many users are now wondering what else is built into Photoshop CS that Adobe haven’t made public…
“Adobe Systems Inc. acknowledged on Friday it quietly added technology to the world’s best-known graphics software at the request of government regulators and international bankers to prevent consumers from making copies of the world’s major currencies.
The technology was designed recently by the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group, a consortium of 27 central banks in the United States, England, Japan, Canada and across the European Union, where there already is a formal proposal to require all software companies to include similar anti-counterfeit technology.”

Run a firewall and block all attempts by the program to communicate with the internet. Adobe will spy on you no more!

you can open any image if you go through Imageready then save it as psd
for some reason the currency thing fails to detect it this way

Good points, but Adobe should really just have been upfront and made the whole thing public before releasing Photoshop CS, not afterwards...

Agreed Mark. And does this slow down Adobe's Photoshop at all? If so, by how much. I want it out!

Adobe claims that it has no noticeable effect on the speed of Photoshop CS.
