Photoshop not allowing images with money to open

I understand anti-counterfitting measures and I see where Adobe is coming from, but please look at the two attached images.  One is a product photography shot I need to edit, the second is the popup that I get when trying to edit the photo.  I get to options click an info button or cancel.  If i click the Information button I get taken to a website, but my photo doesnt open.  If I click cancel obviously my photo doesnt open.  

 

The huge problem with the is first, the popup says "This Application does not support the printing of banknotes"  it says nothing about opening or editing, so why cant I open the image?  Second  look at the image I am trying to edit.  There is only a piece of a US $5 bill in the photo, you obviously print and counterfit that!!!

 

I have paid a LOT of subsctipion money over the decades to Adobe and all of a sudden I can't edit my own photography.

 

What happens to all the stock photography of money?  Whoever implemented this "feature" was shortsighted on its execution.

 

Can we please get a fast track bug fix for this so that we can atleast open and edit photos that have currency in them, especially if they are just part of a larger image or just a piece of a bill like this is?

The "feature" is from the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group (CBCDG), a consortium of central banks from around the world. Adobe has included CDS in Photoshop at the request of the CBCDG.

Here is the Contact Us page for the CBCDG if you want to send feedback: https://rulesforuse.org/en/contact-information

Oh I know all about the CBCDG policy but I think Adobe is appling it wrong in how they installed it in Photoshop, shocking I know.

 

The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550, in Section 411 of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, permits color illustrations of U.S. currency, provided that:

  1. the illustration is of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of the item illustrated;
  2. the illustration is one-sided; and
  3. all negatives, plates, positives, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof are destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use.

 

This says NOTHING about opening and editing images containing money or even a part of a bill.

 

I think the actual way Adobe applied the CDS is wrong as its preventing us the user of the software from even opening an image containing money in it.  If you want to limit it to I cant open an image that is like a full on isolated image/scan of a bill I am cool with that. But someone holding money or like my image from the post, a bill peaking out of a wallet.  Thats just insane that I can't edit my work anymore.  Like I own a leathergoods brand, I make all these wallets, and I do the product photogrpahy of them after the fact.  So your telling me I now cant even edit my photos if they have a small piece of a bill recogonized in them.

 

No offense to you, but how do we get someone at Adobe that makes software decisions to actually see these posts.  I can go in circles all day with community people, and social media support but I want my issues which I think are valid to be looked at by actual engineers and policy execs that make the decisions of what gets into and fixed in the software.

Since bills could be scanned in pieces and reconstructed in Photoshop, I think you will have a hard time convincing the Adobe lawyers. I suspect, being lawyers hired to protect the company, they erred on the side of caution. If you were an Adobe lawyer, who would you want to p*ss off more: an occasional user or the US Treasury Dept.?
