Many readers are expressing dismay over the revelation that Adobe Photoshop CS contains code to prevent reproduction of images of U.S. and other currencies. One reader writes:
As with all forms of copy protection, you know this will only hurt the honest users. The counterfeiters won’t care, but the rest of us are going to be saddled with an unknown performance hit … Should my computer start behaving strangely for any reason, I’m going to have wonder if it’s Photoshop misinterpreting what I’m doing. Thanks, Adobe, I guess the joke’s on us for having put our faith in you.
