Installation Issues Pixel Bender Photoshop Cs5

I have read previous threads with the same issues installing Pixel Bender in PH SC5.
I have Windows 7 and I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and I also keep getting the error message of not having permission to install the software.
I am not computer friendly so perhaps I need more simple instructions to get this to work.  So I understand I have to right click on Adobe Extension Mananger 5 to run as administrator.  Does that mean I fist have to download Adobe Extension Manger 5, open the zip file and click on the SET UP folder?
Then download the pixelbender plug-in AND WHAT?  I went this route and double clicked on the plug in which opens Adobe Mananger 5 which again tells me I have no permission to run it.
Please be as simple as possible and step by step, apparently this is an issue with a few other people.
Thank you for your help!

this is a common issue, please see the discussion in this post to the forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751576?tstart=0
I moved this thread into the PS plug-in sub forum. This issue has been addressed a few times here. If the post I mentioned doesn't answer your question, please take a look at some of the other threads here, they may solve the issue for you. If you are stuck please reply and we'll help you out.

  • Are there any issues with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10?

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10? I heard I would need an older Java version to start it.

    You'll need to reinstall Photoshop CS5 after installing the MacOS 10.10 update -- for some reason the OS updater stomps on some of the Photoshop files.

    I have just downloaded pixel bender for CS5 and know I get this message The image dimensions exceed the hardware capabilities of your GPU.  What do I need to do to make it work

    What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
    You might try reducing the pixel dimensions of the image and see if that makes a difference.

  • Can't find Pixel Bender in CS5

    Sorry if this item has been discussed before, but After installing Pixel Bender (via the Extension Manager) I can't find it under the Filter menu.
    My system meets the requirements, my video card drivers are up tp date, The Photoshop CS 5 Extended version is 12.0.1 (32x).
    The Extension Manager panel shows Pixel Bender and it is checked.
    I removed and reinstalled it several times but with no succes. Does anyone know what to do next?

    @ MTSTUNER
    No, it is not listed there.
    In PS CS5 after closing I get a warning that the application has crashed (adobeowl.dll). Contacted Adobe about this but got no reply. Lightroom crashes when using the Detail Masking slider (posted that in the appropriate forum). This doesn't seem to get fixed either.
    Pixel Bender won't install and I just give up, don't want to waste any more time by visiting yet another forum.
    I guess Windows XP is not really supported by Adobe. And there are problems with Win 7 too, I read. Maybe it's better to switch to Mac and use Aperture in combination with The Gimp?
    But thanks for the help anyway.

  • Can't download Pixel Bender for CS5

    I've tried clicking directly on the link on the Adobe downloads page for Pixel Bender and also the links offered in the forum. Same result each time, a very long page of mostly question marks comes up but no other indication that PB is downloading. I have Photoshop 12.0.4 x 64. I checked to make sure the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 is in my Applications folder and it is. What am I doing wrong?

  • Where´s Pixel Bender Photoshop CS4 Plugin?

    Hi,
    Some days ago I published a Photoshop tutorial about creating fractals with Fractal Explorer (a Pixel Bender filter).
    At that time, at the Pixel Bender page there was a link to Pixel Bender Plugin for Photoshop CS4 under Archived Downloads.
    Now, that page was redesigned and that link is no longer there.
    Many of my visitors own CS4 and need to download that version.
    Can anybody help me locate a link to Pixel Bender Plugin for Photoshop CS4?
    Thanks!

    The missing content on the Pixel Bender Technology Center has been restored (including the links to the PB plug-in for PS CS4 in an Archived Downloads section).
    Please let us know if you find any other problems with the posted content.

  • Tools Palette issue after updating Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.2

    After updating Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.2 the Tool Palette is having an issue. Normally when leaving or hovering the mouse cursor on the Tool Palette in Photoshop a small window appears to indicate the name of the Tool and keyboard shortcut. Now this small window shows but the space is blank.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop CS5 and again updated but this problem still persists. Now I wish that I should not have updated from Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.1. Do any Photoshop CS5 users have seen this bug with their product? Is it possible to downgrade Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.1?
    p.s The Tool-Stack window, when clicking the mouse and holding for a second on the Tool Palette, opens and shows all the corresponding Tools that can be selected and to be used.
    I use Windows XP Professional 32 bits as operating software.

    This is a known problem with the update, and Adobe is working on it.

  • Issue activation adobe photoshop CS5 extended

    Hello folks,
    I just bought the adobe photoshop CS5 extended student version which cost me awfull much money.
    After installing it, I am not able to insert letters into the activation box, only numbers appear. The result is that I am unable to activate the program...
    Very f*cked up for my deadline of the school project. Does anywone knows why I am unable to insert letters into the activation box and how I can insert them so the program is activated?
    I am running an asus intel computer with wondows 7 on it.
    Thank you in advance

    Hello,
    Thank you for your answer.
    The product code start with 5 letters in capitals like this:
    HYLRD6-****-****-****-****
    *= a number
    Hope somebody has experience with this issue

  • Temporary dead pixel in Photoshop CS5

    Hello,
    I got some strange bug.
    There is a white dot appearing on my screen right after I open any file or preferences window.
    The dot turn grey if I drag something white under it.
    The dot shows itself only when the PS app is active.
    Even if I just click on my desktop wallpaper "through" PS making it inactive - the dot disappears.
    Activating PS back - returns the dot.
    I figured out that it happens when PS switches from integrated to discrete GPU.
    Some more strange behavior:
    - If I force to use only integrated GPU before starting PS there is no dot
    - If I force to use only discrete GPU before starting PS there is no dot
    - If I use dual monitor configuration before starting PS there is no dot
    - If I unplug second monitor during PS session the dot appears
    - If I plug second monitor during PS session the dot doesn't dissapear
    - If I reset or delete preferences in PS folder it switches to discrete GPU on launch and there is no dot. But after closing and restarting PS with preferences saved it starts with integrated GPU and switches to discrete on opening file or preferences. And the dot appears.
    Tried to ask Adobe Support and Adobe Community. No solution.
    Any idea on what's going on and why is it started only now?
    No changes to PS preferences or to system were made.
    It appeared just during one of PS sessions.
    Thanks.
    My specs:
    Macbook Pro 17 late 2011
    2.5 Mhz I7
    16 GB RAM
    Two drives SSD + HDD
    Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.5.
    Adobe Photoshop CS5 12.0 x64

    Well, after all I want ot find out what is the root of this bug. Is it a software bug or a hardware malfunction.
    It doesn't seem like a hardware malfunction to me, because the dot appears in one exact place.
    If it would be some sort of VRAM problem - then it would be in different place each time, because there is a random information allocation in VRAM each time it loads into.
    So it looks like a software or driver bug.
    The problem is localized and here it is:
    - PS CS5 in current situation doesn't switch to discrete GPU during launch
    - If something switches graphics to discrete GPU when PS CS5 is already running - the dot appears in one exact place only when PS interface is active.
    It could be new file creation, file open, going to PS preferences, or it could be other application that switches GPUs, or manually through deactivating energy saving options in system preferences, or manually through gfxCardStatus application or any other way to switch GPUs when PS CS5 is opened and hasn't switched GPUs during its launch.
    Is that's a normal behavior for PS CS5 - not to switch GPUs on launch - I don't know.
    I know that if reset preferences on launch or delete it manually - first run of PS CS5 is with GPUs switch during launch. After closing it and opening it next time - it doesn't switch GPUs during launch no more.
    So the questions is what is broken now. If PS always before switched GPUs after launch - then it could be some sort of driver or hardware problem.
    If the behavior of PS changed somehow and before current situation it switched GPUs always on launch - then it's a PS problem.
    Or maybe some sort of other problem, that I don't see yet.
    I haven't found any other program, that switch GPUs after launch, so I can't test it.
    If you know any - please tell me.
    If anyone of you use any versions of PS on dual GPUs macs - please tell me if your PS switches on launch, or after. You can use gxfCardStatus for that kind of check.
    Well I'm going to make a clean install of OS and reinstall PS if there will be no other answer.
    I'll share the results.
    I've already tried to install Mavericks and Updates over current installed OS, reset NVRAM and SMC - no result.

  • Tool Palette issue after updating Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.2.

    When leaving or hovering the mouse cursor over the Tool Palette in Photoshop usually a small window appears to indicate the name of the tool and keyboard shortcut. However, after updating Photoshop CS5 to version 12.0.2 the small window shows but it is now a blank space. I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop CS5 and updated again and this problem persists. Now I wish that I should not have updated from version 12.0.1. Do any other Photoshop CS5 users are seeing this problem?
    p.s The Tool-Stack window works fine, when clicking the mouse for a second, and tools are selectable.
    The operating software I am using is Windows XP Pro 32 bit.

    This is a known problem with the update, and Adobe is working on it.

  • Issues with my Photoshop CS5

    Recently I downloaded a Free trial version of Illustrator CS6 and now My Full version of Photoshop CS5 wont work. I try and open Images and they dont work. I will say that my Free Trial is really buggy. It keeps giving me an ERROR message. "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022). Click OK to close the Application." Ever since I downloaded AI cs6 trial my Photoshop CS5 does not open files. Why? I will provide Photos and videos

  • Camera Raw 6.7 installation not working with Photoshop CS5.1

    I have been trying to upgrade Camera Raw to 6.7 on my windows 7(32) machine running  CS5.1.
    It will not update via Help>Update (indicates download problem) or manually using the downloaded file and AdobePatchInstaller.exe (indicates "an error installing the update")
    I have tried Adobe support adviser but this was of little help.
    Also tried running Photoshop as Administrator.
    Can anyone help?

    I don't know why your Help - Updates feature shouldn't be working; it worked for me, and it would disturb me if it didn't work, but to jump to the solution to your issue, you should be able to install the update manually by carefully following the instructions that go with the download you can find here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5373
    Make sure you unzip the contents of the file to a folder on your computer before running the installer.

  • OpenGL issue when launching Photoshop CS5 Extended from Lightroom?

    I noticed about 2 weeks ago that the scrubby zoom and rotate commands stopped working.  Obviously OpenGL was not
    enabled and was greyed out, not letting me enable it.  I have a 295GTX video card with dual GPU's and I have updated all drivers NVidia 280.26.  When I went through the Adobe troubleshoot doc I reset my preferences/defaults by holding <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT> when launching Photoshop and it allows me to enable it.  I can even open a bunch of images and everything works but only if I open them FROM within Photoshop.  If I pick an image from Lightroom (Latest Version) and launch it to photoshop it will not allow me to run OpenGL features any longer and the only way I can get it to work again is to reset it doing the <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT> move.
    Any suggestions or knowlege of issues / bugs?

    As a temporary workaround, you can uninstall the driver and try using an earlier release.  Sometimes they break new things with new releases.

  • Pixel Bender Photoshop Plug In - Display Name

    Well, I defined a Parameter in a Graph this way:
    <!-- Graph parameters -->
        <parameter type = "float" name = "Radius" >
        <metadata name = "defaultValue" type = "float" value = "2.0"/>
        <metadata name = "maxValue" type = "float" value = "8.0" />
        <metadata name = "minValue" type = "float" value = "1.0" />
        <metadata name = "displayName" value = "Blur Radius" />
        </parameter>
    I used the "displayName" metadata so Photoshop will display a more understandable Parameter name.
    However, Photoshop won't display the name in this Metadata. It displays the Parameter name which limited (No Spaces etc...).
    How can I display one name in the Slider under Photoshop and another name for the variable name within the Graph?
    Thanks.
