You can start with Hue/saturation and select "Colorize".

Of course you want to be careful. There are plenty of dumb people who might be fooled by something along those lines. If that were to happen the feds would likely want to "speak: with you. :-)

Maybe someone out there can answer this honestly:

I read a while back that most new scanners -- I don't know what would be considered new; 2, 3, 4 years old? -- won't allow currency to be scanned. Again, I don't know if this is true or just scuttlebutt.

It's not the scanners per se, but the software, and it's true.

Really, Which scanner software? I find unlikely simply because OCR is so poor on anything but the cleanest type written pages. Much less on some less than prefect bill.

It's not OCR - new notes in most major currencies have a built in pattern that the software recognises.

I understand that it is not OCR, which deals with much simpler patterns. It still sounds like one of those myths that pops up on the internet to me.

Does sound like a myth, but it's true:

It is also much more limited than described and not the scanner but Photoshop CS and perhaps PSP 8 that does it. Even then it is only on the new colored twenties and some non-US notes....

Ok, Has any one in the group tried to scan one of the notes on to CS or PSP 8 yet? I am not saying you should print the scans and go to the flea market or save them etc. I just always want proof of stuff I read in any forum. I would do it but I am still using Photoshop 7 because I won't scan money to pay for stuff. :-)
