Photoshop CC won't edit pictures of money, and newspapers need to be able to

I work at a newspaper. Sometimes the AP sends us photos with money in them that we want to use in our editions. Photoshop CC has an anti-counterfeiting routine in it that keeps it from opening these pictures. Can a "newspaper" plug-in be created that will let people who legitimately need to edit pictures of money do it?

    @Happy Co , this thread was started in 2015, so this is not a »new feature« in Photoshop

    Aside from that I think the issue was raised even earlier over on the now defunct feedback.photoshop.com because the feature has existed in Photoshop CS5 already. (Not sure if it existed even earlier.)

    I do not think we should have a workaround. This is ludicrous that we can not open or manipulate a picture with money in Photoshop. This is a new feature that has been added. In the past, I had no issues working with money and images in Photoshop. Adobe has created a hurdle and a headache that will do more harm than good. I can only hope that they will fix the issue.

    Wow! Why not simply say, "This is not a new feature or restriction in photoshop"?

    I believe @Happy Co was asking a simple question, not validation of his expertise in the previous versions of PhotoShop.

    This is massivly stupid. it's not photoshops business to babysit what people do with it. It's not adobe's business, either.

      FYI, Adobe implemented Counterfeit Deterrence Technology in Photoshop nearly 20 years ago because they were asked to do so by the world's central banks. So it's been there for a couple of decades.

      I've been editing money in Photoshop for more than a couple of decades and have never had a problem opening money.

      I recognize why this is a big deal- money shouldn't be counterfeited, but the US Gov't allows artists to use images of money as long as it meets a few criteria, such as being single sided, and larger or smaller than the actual bill.  Youy would think Photoshop would have a way to allkow an artist to do what the government allows without jumping through so many hoops.

        I was able to open it in PREVIEW on a Mac, and export as a PDF. Photoshop allowed me to use the PDF.

        Had the same problem. Best workaround for me was to:

        1. Place the image in Illustrator

        2. Make a WHITE BOX over the money and place it on it's own layer

        3. Export as a high-res layered rgb PSD file

        Opens in Photoshop with no problems, turned off the white box and exported my flattened jpg. However, I had to keep a psd version of the image with the white box over the money turned on to be able to open it again. Still wouldn't open the flattened jpg with the full view of the money even after all that. Extremely annoying!!

          I'm a fellow graphic designer.

          I may have figured out a solution..

          I took my PSD document and opened it up in Illustrator.
          A popup window asks if you want to keep the layers or flattening it.

          Click "Flatten the image" and it will open. I just printed a PDF and as well as exported it as a JPEG.

            CMS is right!

            Bring image to illustrator, open new photoshop canvas Paste image from AI file et voilá you are in your way to glory.

              The warning dialog that comes up when you open currency images has the link for information on how you can legally use currency images.

              If you work with currency images, you should already know this stuff.

                Just tried it with a $1 and a $20 -- no problems loading, resizing and printing (b&w).

                good lord, why are there so many responses like this? just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen to other people. this is obvious.
