PIXEL BENDER FOR ELEMENTS  10

I DOWNLOADED THE PIXEL BENDER FROM THE ADOBE WEBSITE BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME CAN NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT TO WORK WITH ELEMENTS 10.  PIXEL BENDER DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE "FILTER" TAB LIKE IS SAY IN THE INSTRUCTIONS.  PLEASE HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE.
THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL HELP
LINDA

Pixel Bender has been discontinued by Adobe
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/07/changes-to-pixel-bender-support-2.html
However, I understand that it only worked with Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS5.
There's no Pixel Bender for Photoshop CS6 nor any version of Photoshop Elements.
Which instructions are you reading? Got a link?

    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 install pixel bender for CS4

    When I click on the download for pixel bender for CS4, it downloads the one for CS5. Can someone give me the correct file to download? I need one for both 32 bit and 64 bit (two different computers). Thanks!

    Thanks for the summary--it definitely helped. The problem you are describing is well known and has been discussed, documented, and resolved many times and in many places. You need to run Adobe Extension Manager CS4 as administrator (right-click the Adobe Extension Manager executable and select "Run as administrator" from the contextual menu) in order to install the Extension. This is necessary because of the elevated privileges required to access the Program Files directory and sub-directories. Please see the installation instructions found here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/pixelbenderplugin/ or my answer (posed in the form of a question) in this message http://forums.adobe.com/message/3877496#3877496.

  • Pixel Bender for Photoshop CS4 -- in August 2010 ?????

    How could I have missed it!
    Just found out about Pixel Bender today via an email from Wacom.
    Can only find the CS5 version available for download on the Adobe Labs site. Will the CS5 version work with PSCS4? If not, is there someway for me to download the CS4 version?
    I'm still saving my pennies for a CS5 upgrade. Hope I don't have to wait until then to explore Pixel Bender.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • The Pixel Bender for PH CS5 download link doesn't work

    There is a download link on
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html
    for
    Pixel Bender Plug-in for Photoshop CS5 with following adress:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/pixelbenderplugin/
    but if you click on it you will be back to
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html

    I'm looking into this (whether to remove the PixelBender dev page or add the CS5 plug-in to the Legacy Downloads section at the bottom of the page).
    That said, PixelBender is more or less EOL (end of life) as it's not supported in CS6 and not planned for support in future versions:

  • 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?

    @ 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.

  • Looking for filters for Pixel Bender CS4 32 bit OS

    I just downloaded and installed Pixel Bender as I am hoping to get something similar to 'oil painting".
    Looking for filters for Pixel Bender for:
                                                           CS4 32 bit OS.
    Is there any out there?

    I don't think you'll find an oil paint filter for photoshop cs4, since it wasn't until photoshop cs5 and pixel bender that had the oil paint filer and as far as i know, adobe
    has never made the oil paint code public.
    There used to be lots of pixel bender filters for photoshop cs4 on the adobe exchange, but adobe shut it down.
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1513504
    You can look at what was available and see if any external links are given to the authors websites where you still be able to get some of them.

  • Pixel bender in photoshop CS4 extended

    I down loaded and installed the version of pixel bender for use with photoshop CS4. I used the extension manager to complet the install and all was well. I did not install the tool kit. Do I need to install the toolkit as well?
    As it is, PS does not show the pixel bender option if the filter menu.

  • Pixel Bender not rendering preview

      After I have been using Pixel Bender for a while it will stop rendering a preview of the adjustments that have made.  This will occur with any type of file of any size.  It doesn't matter what filter I am in or go to once I get a blank screen, it stays that way.  I can see a preview again if I zoom far out so that the image is really small (12% or smaller) and then I can increase the size to see it at full size again.  The only way to fully correct this issue is to restart my computer.  Shutting down Photoshop and restarting it does not solve the issue. 
    My setup:
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Photoshop CS5 64-bit
    XFX Nvidia 8800 GTX  768 MB
    Intel Q6600 2.4GHz

    I'm assuming that this only happens if you are in GPU mode? If you switch to CPU mode does it still happen? If you make some changes and then click "OK" are those changes applied to your original image even if the preview stopped working?
    Shutting down Photoshop should fix the issue because the GPU driver is really tied to the process. Are you using transparent windows in Win7? Do those stop working when this happens?
    Sorry for all the questions, we haven't seen this issue before.

  • Pixel Bender - Oil Paint Module Crashes Photoshop?? Any ideas?

    I have downloaded and intstalled pixel bender for PSCS5. It works well except for the oil paint module.
    Can't move sliders. Every time I use it, Photoshop crashes!!! Any ideas???
    Thanks, Joe

    Samantha,
    I have not had the problem with any other filter. Sorry I do not have a 
    crash log.
    The problem occurred several times, but recently I have not been able to 
    recreate it - in other words,
    it now seems to be working. I'll let you know if anything changes.
    For your information I am using 32 bit Photoshop CS5 on a Windows XP 
    Platform.

    Hi,  Joe.
    First, thanks for downloading the plug-in. I believe you may  have hit a
    bug we are planning to address shortly in an update. I'd like to  confirm my
    suspicion, though, and ask if you have been able to re-create the  crash
    using any other filters. One of the issues were addressing in our next  release
    is actually a UI problem and not specific to the Oil filter. If you  have a
    crash log, I'd be interested in checking the stack,  too.
    Let me know either way; if it's not the issue I'm thinking  of, I'd like to
    investigate your problem.
    Thanks  again,

  • Advanced Flex / Pixel Bender interactions

    Hello,
    I've been looking through the documentation on both Pixel Bender and Flex, and I'm trying to figure out if this even possible:
    Basically I start out with floating point image data in a ByteArray and I'd like to run a Pixel Bender filter or shader job on the data in floating point, then convert it to 8-bit / channel RGBA on the output.
    I know I can start with a 8-bit BitmapData and use a Pixel Bender shader to produce a new 8-bit BitmapData. Or I can start with a floating point ByteArray, use ShaderJob to compute a new floating point ByteArray.  Can I use ByteArray input and output to BitmapData?  Put another way, do the input and output classes/dimensions of a shader job or pixel bender filter have to match?  I'd like to take advantage of the fact that when using a BitmapData object, Pixel Bender (or Flash), converts the floating point Pixel Bender data to 8-bit for you automatically.  It would also save me the trouble of unpacking a linear list of floats into a 2-dimensional image with setPixel32() calls.
    Thanks all.

    Hi David -
    Thanks for those examples. The audio visualizer is pretty cool, but looks like the author witheld the source code for us to look at .
    I did find another blog posting that's helpful too - converting a BitmapData object into a Vector of RGBA floats with Pixel Bender:
    http://webr3.org/blog/general/pixelbender-is-more-useful-than-i-assumed/comment-page-1/
    I'll see if I can figure out going backwards.
    I'm curious if anyone could shed light on what's going on with memory under the covers. I found another blog post that treats a Vector as if it's a 2-dimensional object like an image:
    http://blog.robskelly.com/2009/02/using-pixel-bender-for-math-in-flashflex/
    This raises questions about what do the width and height input/output parameters actually control if you can treat a flat Vector as an object with width and height?  Does anyone know? Does that only work with Vectors? What about ByteArrays?  Does this basically mean that width/height are only convenience parameters and you could put any 2 numbers that multiply to the size of your data?   How does this affect the input type inside the shader (image1 vs image4)?  Why does Rob Skelly's example above even work at all?
    I'll hack away at trying to get stuff working, and re-post if I figure something out.

  • Merging blended layers (pixel bender blends)

    I've been building a ton of blend modes in pixel bender for a graphics library. To use them within flash, I can use the DisplayObject.blendShader and the result is displayed to the screen.
    This is all great, but it doesnt let me use the result as a single bitmap that can be processed further. I know its possible to draw a bitmapdata on top of another and apply a blend mode using BitmapData.draw(), but it only supports strings that represent the native blend modes.
    How would I go about merging two bitmapDatas using pixel bender shaders blends?
    Thanks!,
    Julien Iafrancesco

    Hello. I have the same problem. I need to use BitmapData.draw() with BlendMode.SHADER. But it doesn't work. While I use two sprites with blendShader = myShader it's ok. But with BitmapData.draw() it's not work.
    How I could do this?
    Thanks.

  • Pixel Bender metadata hinting proposal

    I put this on my blog earlier, but I wanted to repost here for discussion.This was what I wrote:
    We tried to be semantically agnostic in the original design of the Pixel Bender language. We'd seen other languages go down rabbit holes of over-specification around what parameters really meant, locking them into archaic and insufficient implementations or clumsy hierarchies of meanings. We didn't want to limit Pixel Bender developers into what we could conceive at the time of the invention of the language.
    We were being a bit too idealistic :). It is completely true that the community of Pixel Bender developers continues to blow our minds at what they accomplish with the language and we never would have anticipated half the stuff that you guys are using Pixel Bender for. However, having some generally useful semantic meanings for Pixel Bender parameters would definitely help those who design general user interfaces for Pixel Bender filters.
    One smart thing we did (if I do say myself) was to allow parameter and kernel metadata to be extensible. It provided developers like After Effects and Picnik a way to add custom metadata to Pixel Bender that specified semantics or actual UI controls for Pixel Bender kernels and graphs. The picnik metadata and the After Effects metadata are different though. I started to get concerned that by not having something around this that we could end up with many different Pixel Bender semantic metadata mechanisms floating around. To that end, I created the proposal below and started floating it around Adobe and some of the sites that are heavy users of Pixel Bender.
    In this design, I tried to follow some general rules:
    Pixel Bender is not only a way to write image and video filters for Adobe applications, but also a way for you to host 3rd party filters in your Flash-based applications. Any guidelines we create need to be implemented by us, but also by any independent Flash developers creating apps that use Pixel Bender kernels. To that end, I tried to keep the design relatively simple so that it wouldn't be too difficult to implement in Flash.
    This proposal adds semantic metadata, but avoids specifying specific user interface controls. Rather than specifying a slider as an editor for a parameter, I think it makes more sense to say that the parameter is a percentage and allow someone designing a UI to make a good percentage editor. We are definitely thinking about how to specify custom editor UIs for Pixel Bender filters, but this proposal does not approach that.
    The proposal is not a complete answer for all Pixel Bender filters. I'm trying to get the most universal semantics represented. The most generally useful, as opposed to trying to give the complete solution. If you have an application that is uses Pixel Bender kernels for something that makes sense to augment the metadata you can still choose to do so.
    The proposal represents guidelines, not requirements. As a developer consuming Pixel Bender kernels, you can choose to enumerate the metadata as described in the proposal or not. The suggested metadata is metadata. It is not required. The goal is that if you wish to take advantage of it when it is present, that you can provide a more compelling user interface to your users because you understand the intent of a parameter, not just its type.
    There are a couple open questions in the proposal that I'd like feedback on. They are called out pretty clearly. I'd really like your feedback on this proposal. I hope to issue the final version soon. Reply to this post or in the Pixel Bender forums on Adobe Labs. If you decide to post a reply on your own blog, please post a link to your post here or in the forum. Right now trackbacks are off so I won't know about it otherwise. You can also tweet a reply to the Pixel Bender twitter account (if you can fit it in 140 characters ).

    Overall I like the proposal. To address the issues called out:
    For both integers and floats concerning a "time", I think it is best
    to have that be relative to the time that the filter has been running.
    The time a filter is running would be determined by context the filter
    is being used in. For video I can see it being tied to video time,
    while for a filter being applied to an image it probably corresponds
    to how much real time the filter has been running. The general idea
    being that if I run my application multiple times I should expect to
    see the same results, which is harder to do if time is tied to actual
    time versus relative time. If that makes any sense.
    I am not in favor of the InputSizeX types. While I understand the
    desire to have the image size is a common request, given the ability
    to chain filters it promotes a false sense of accuracy. Better to let
    people have workarounds with known caveats instead of a semi supported
    standard.
    As a side note, the mousePos example on page 8 is specified as float2,
    but the values only contain 1 number.
