Washington -- Adobe Systems, developer of the popular Photoshop graphics editing software, acknowledged that it has embedded software into its programs -- at the behest of the government and international banks -- that defeats attempts to copy currency, the Associated Press reported. Adobe said that it could not provide details on the software, which it said only slowed down its own applications by a fraction of a second. The currency anti-counterfeit software was created by the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group, a consortium of 27 central banks in the United States, Japan and various European nations.
