1. Re: Can't install either 32 bit or 64 bit on Mac Photoshop CS5
unique_screenname_here Jul 1, 2011 9:48 AM (in response to theillustratedlife)That error message seems misleading; I believe it should say, "between 12.1 and 12.1.x" or something to that effect. It sounds like you are trying to install the Pixel Bender plugin into Photoshop CS5 using the Pixel Bender plugin for Photoshop CS5.1 installer. Or stated another way, there is no "Pixel Bender 5.1 extension" only Pixel Bender plugin installers for Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5.1. Let me know if I need to clarify that. In the meantime, give one of these installers a try and let me know if they're successful:

theillustratedlife Jul 1, 2011 6:22 PM (in response to unique_screenname_here)Sorry, I mistyped before.
The extensions you listed are the ones I have. I redownloaded just to be sure, but I still get the same error.

UberMortal Jul 7, 2011 10:40 PM (in response to theillustratedlife)I'm having the same issue. I've tried the CS5 and CS5.1 64-bit plug-in on Windows 7 64-bit.

AcmePixel Jul 8, 2011 3:16 PM (in response to UberMortal)Same here;
I finally installed my Photoshop CS5 upgrade yesterday.
I have been trying to install Pixel Bender Plugin, but the Extension Manager App CS5.5 seems to have a major bug.
My primary installed system; Mac OSX.6.8, MacBookPro Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, Photoshop CS5.1 [12.1 x64] installed.
Launched Extension Manager CS5.5,
Clicked the Install button,
Selected the pixelbenderplugin_p3_pscs5_64bit_061711.mxp file,
Installer begins the install process, then reports error;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Adobe Extension Manager
This extension can not be installed, it requires 64bit
Photoshop version in range of inclusively between 12.0 and
12.0"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(that's an exact quote from the error window, bad grammar and all).
64 bit Photoshop version 12.1 is installed as already mentioned above.
I get the same result with the 32 bit version of the plugin. Repeated tries, plus re-downloading plugin files, but same failure results.
I also get the same result on my back-up machine which is a MacBook Core 2 Duo, running identical system and installed apps.
The Extension Manager seems to be unable to recognize Photoshop 12.1 ? Yet it was installed along with Photoshop CS5.1 from the install CD. Odd.
I've been upgrading Photoshop since version 1.0, and I really miss just dragging a plugin into the Plugins folder.

5. Re: Can't install either 32 bit or 64 bit on Mac Photoshop CS5
AcmePixel Jul 12, 2011 11:01 AM (in response to theillustratedlife)I've tried installing with Extension Manager CS5.5 [part of the PS CS5.1 upgrade Disk installation] and it keeps repeating the aforementioned error.
I get the impression that the plugin requires the previous version; Extension Manager CS5 [NOT CS5.5], for installation.
However, Extension Manager CS5 is no longer available for download.
It is clearly stated on the Pixel Bender site that Extension Manager CS5 is required;
The Pixel Bender Plug-in requires Extension Manager CS5. If Extension Manager CS4 is launched when you double-click the MXP file, you need to launch Extension Manager CS5 from the Start > All Programs menu on Windows and Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS5 on the Mac OS and manually "Install Extension" from within Adobe Extension Manager CS5.
So my Questrion is this; When will the Pixel Bender plugin version for Extension Manager CS5.5 be available?
All currently available pixel bender plugin downloads will not install to Photodhop CS5.1, Mac version.

6. Re: Can't install either 32 bit or 64 bit on Mac Photoshop CS5
unique_screenname_here Jul 12, 2011 11:22 PM (in response to AcmePixel)You should use either "pixelbenderplugin_p3_pscs5_64bit_061711.mxp" or "pixelbenderp lugin_p3_pscs5_32bit_061711.mxp" if installing the Pixel Bender plugin for Photoshop CS5.
You should use either "pixelbenderplugin_p3_pscs5-1_32bit_061711.mxp" or "pixelbenderplugin_p3_pscs5-1_64bit_061711.mxp" if installing the Pixel Bender plugin for Photoshop CS5.1. Please note the extra "-1" in the filenames.
It sounds to me like you are installing the CS5 extension using Extension Manager CS5.1. Please clarify.

7. Re: Can't install either 32 bit or 64 bit on Mac Photoshop CS5
AcmePixel Jul 13, 2011 12:30 PM (in response to unique_screenname_here)Thank you for replying.
As I stated in my earlier posts I have the Photoshop CS5 upgrade CD and it installed the Extension Manager CS5.5. What I should have also mentioned was that I upgraded from CS2 [photoshop 9] so I suspect that the installer is looking for some previous, more recent, installations of Adobe products.
I was getting the error mentioned in my first post above, consistently with the CS5.5 installer. And yes I was trying all the versions of PixelBender plugin including "pixelbenderplugin_p3_pscs5-1_64bit_061711.mxp" which should have installed.
So, on a clueless hunch I downloaded the older Extensions Manager CS5 because that is the version mentioned on the Pixel Bender site, and then I tried installing the Photoshop CS4 version of the plugin. Oddly enough it DID install and showed up in the Photoshop Filter menu. But it did not work of course.
I also re-installed Adobe Air, and re-installed Adobe Flash. Just to be safe.
I then re-ran the proper, CS5.5 installer with the proper p3-5.1 version of the plugin, but first removed the CS4 plugin. Then I re-installed the CS5.1 version and voila! It is now properly installed in Photoshop CS5.1.
Not sure it that helps at all, but thanks, anyway.

unique_screenname_here Jul 13, 2011 2:46 PM (in response to AcmePixel)Thanks for the clarification. I can't explain why you were encountering these problems, but I'm glad to hear you were able to resolve them. Sorry for the trouble. Happy filtering.

9. Re: Can't install either 32 bit or 64 bit on Mac Photoshop CS5
AltWhitman Aug 16, 2011 11:26 AM (in response to unique_screenname_here)I can't install Pixelbender in Photoshop for CS5.5 / Win7 either.
Extension Manager refuses to install both the Pixelbender packages for version "12.0" and "12.1" because I have Photoshop "12.0.4".
( Photoshop version 5 is of course not to be confused with version 12--except that it IS supposed to be confused with it, because in *your* world, 5 = 12.)
Tech Support on the phone is useless on this issue, and just burns up expensive cell phone minutes.
I need this plugin! Please help.

AcmePixel Aug 16, 2011 3:21 PM (in response to AltWhitman)This is a Mac thread.
Perhaps you can glean something from this thread that will work on win7, but I would have no clue. I've been using Photoshop since the days when it was a Mac-Only app. You could try the steps I did in my earlier post. Also try installing the latest Flash and Air versions.

unique_screenname_here Aug 18, 2011 2:39 PM (in response to AltWhitman)AltWhitman, please start a new thread describing the problem you are seeing. As an aside, I was under the impression that the Pixel Bender plugin was working for you in Photoshop CS5; would you please note what changes necessitated a reinstallation of the Pixel Bender plugin. That may help me figure out what's going wrong. Thanks.
