Adobe Photoshop: Counterfeit deterrence system
Years ago I had an Austrian 5000 Schilling note in absolute mint condition. It was a beautiful note with an image of Mozart on it but it was too expensive for me to keep just to admire (~$500 USD) so I cashed it in for local currency. (Also, it had to be converted as the Schilling was being made obsolete by the Euro.)<p>However before I did I wanted to keep a permanent record of it so I scanned it in the highest resolution I had available (2400dpi) and processed it in an early version of Photoshop.<p>There were some herringbone issues which I resolved and I ended up with a truly stunning TIF image of approximately 900MB.<p>I never attempted to print it out as my printer was pretty mediocre and I was aware that it, like all modern printers, had anti-counterfeiting measures.<p>I don&#x27;t know whether I was just lucky with that combination of scanner and Photoshop version. Anyway, as I mentioned the results were spectacular. Here&#x27;s a low resolution image of said note (click on image for a larger size):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.numista.com&#x2F;catalogue&#x2F;note216574.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.numista.com&#x2F;catalogue&#x2F;note216574.html</a>
