Use a black/white/grey rectangle instead of the note. Place the actionscript, get your dvd case and edit the bill manually. You'll work at high resolution, so it shouldn't be a problem.
What layers does the action export ? You can use a smart object to fool the action steps.
No joke, this is what I'm going to have to do. The pain is that the final image is like a box set so has multiple manuals, cd's and dvd's all in the image. Yep you guessed it, ALL with the bloody cash images on them! But yes, thanks for this workaround man.
As for PS, I've been trying to figure out what exactly is triggering the currency detection. The note is mostly covered in my image so I'm like WTF.
I've come to the conclusion it's a mixture of:
1. A currency note being present which triggers a 2nd 'checking' system .
2. The aforementioned checking system which measures exactly how much of the note is showing through.
I ran a few checks with black blocks on the note in random places. One time, I had it working with the black blocks in place. Then I literally removed a smal sliver and allowed a tiny section of the PLAIN WHITE border of the note to show. And it suddenly gets flagged as currency. Trust me there are no marks in the white border in my image.
This leads me to believe that PS runs 2 scans. 1 to check whether any layer contains currency. And another to calculate just how much of the currency is showing through, under other layers.
One time I changed a specific blacked out part of the note from 100% opacity to 99% and this made the image get flagged as currency too. Bastards.
Anyways, I've already spent too much time on this today. Thanks for your replies people, appreciate it.
What's the action script for exactly? Is for rendering a 3D cover from one of those ebook/media covers/cases packages, or are you actually preparing a DVD cover for print?
Rendering a 3D cover for now, for concept art. I'll cross the actual printing bridge if/when the project requires it later on down the line... Cheers
