Thanks for the report, I’ll forward to the Photoshop guys. By the way, the font is apparently Adobe Caslon Pro. Substituting an unligated ſi (U+017F + U+0069) for fi (U+0066 + U+0069) makes no sense at all. If the current font doesn't contain an fi ligature (U+FB01), Photoshop should just leave the combination alone. More likely, the image was created in Illustrator or some such, and the glyph selected manually by the author. I did not check explicitly, but I am ready to bet a whole lot that the font does the correct thing. Eric.
