Does Photoshop secretly scan your images?

I downloaded this image from Adobe Stock ( File #:  329573176 ), now Adobe Photoshop will not let me open it. It gives me an error message:

 

"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 distibuting banknote images or go to www.rulesforuse.org."


This is an odd message considering this image was already manipulated and it's being distributed by Adobe. Another question that arises from this... does Adobe Photoshop secretly scan every image you open?

Hi

Adobe Photoshop includes a counterfeit deterrence system (CDS) that prevents the use of the product to illegally duplicate banknotes. Details here:

I can tell you from experience that this doesn't always work properly.

 

Using this type of structure:

//nothing here except targeting photoshop & localize
try {
    // --> all code relating to loading and manipulating an image
} catch(e){
    // handle e
}
//nothing here

 I've still had money images that made photoshop crash. Things like packshots of a wallet with some currency showing.

 

 

To the OP: I don't work with currency a lot, but for me, images not showing the entire unit of currency (ie not the entire bill or coin) are usually fine. The picture below doesn't show an entire dollar bill and does open in photoshop.
