I Cannot get pixel bender to show in PS

Feb 10, 2012 12:37 PM

I truly hope you guys answer.  I see others have the same problem and NEVER got a response.  I waited on hold for almost an hour to speak to someone and finally hung up.

 

Pixel bender shows up in the Adobe folder, and then under PS.  It does not show up in PS under filters.   I have the CS5 Web Premium 32 bit.

 

Please answer.

 

Thanks in advance.

    The Photoshop plugin for Pixel Bender filters was not included in the Photoshop installer for cs5. The "Pixel Bender" that shows up in your installation is the Pixel Bender Toolkit, which is the development environment for creating and editing Pixel Bender filters. You can download and install the Pixel Bender plugin for free, as a Photoshop Extension from Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/pixelbenderplugin/).

    But it does not work!  We never see the filters in PSCS5.

    We all have tried it many ways.

    Here we are a year later, and no decent answers, what is the problem, please at least let us know.

    Thank you for your interest in and enthusiasm for Pixel Bender. Pixel Bender has been offered in the past on Adobe Labs as a technology preview (http://labs.adobe.com/about/). It was never a shipping/officially supported product/feature: http://labs.adobe.com/about/faq/#itemA-8. As of CS6, we are no longer providing Pixel Bender as a Labs technology. Photoshop CS6 has taken the Pixel Bender filter most popular with customers, Oil Paint, and turned it into an official feature in CS6. Photoshop CS6 no longer supports Pixel Bender for 3rd party development.
