Photoshop now prevents you from opening ANY image that may contain currency

Did you know that, as a professional designer, you can no longer open any image that may contain "currency".  They prohibit that and you will get this message in a popup:

"This application does not support the editing of banknote images.

For more information, select the information button below for Internet-based information on restrictions for copying and distributing banknote images or go to www.rulesforuse.org."

How many of us need something for a professional design for a finance/investor/etc???  The image that I PAID to use from Thinkstock.com is a hand holding a fan of money.  There is NO way that could be used for counterfeit.

I think we all need to contact Photoshop and let them know how utterly ridiculous this new "rule" is.  It's almost Nazi-like.  I could understand if it was a head-on image of a valid currency/bill.  But, NOT something like I was trying to open!!

Join me in this effort to stop this type of ridiculous and unacceptable censorship!

Thank you
