WHY: Crashing problems with Pixel-Bender Plug-In in PS CS5...

WHY is my PS CS5 crashing, when TRYING to use Pixel Bender Plug-In...?!?
Its correctly installed, shows up in the Filtermenubar of PS, It just shows the first filter and when I try to choose another one, PS just shuts down...?!?
(PS CS5 (12.0) (Win 32–bit) / (W7 Ultimate, 2GB RAM, P6100 2GHz, 118 Gb free of 195 GB Harddrive).
PlugIn from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html
HELP PLEASE... Thanks !!!

PB requires a reasonably juicy graphics hardware and well, your specs clearly indicate that this is not the case. It will probably never work, but as a minor update your graphics driver...

Problem with Pixel Bender

Hi - I am 85 years old and not very experienced with computer jargon etc. My problems with Pixel Benders only started after I recently had my Dell 64 bit computer upgraded. Previously it used Windows XP and had 4 gigs of RAM my graphics card had only 64 MB. HOWEVER, before the upgrade Pixel Bender filters worked perfectly, I have a folder in "My Pictures" that contains 65 images that have all been treated with a variety of P B filters, I am very pleased with the results. My software includes Photoshop CS5 also Lightroom 3.
My upgrade, done by a professional technician, involved, wiping my internal hard drive completely (everything was backed up on two external hard drives) the installation of Windows 7 - 64 bit and additional RAM (it now has 8 gigs) When it came to re installing the Pixel Benders it was a nightmare. I had to make several calls to Adobe technical support before it would download I even had to allow the technician to access my computer. The next problem was that the Pixel Benders would no work. I looked at the Adobe Forum and found that others had experienced the same problem. One solution seemed to be to install a graphics card with more MB, I therefore bought a GeForce GTSD 250 that has 1 GB of RAM. Whereas the 65 pictures in my Pixel Bender folder are 2000 pixels on the longest edge using my new system and graphics card the Pixel Bender filters will not work on any image that is more than 1000 pixels on the longest edge. Can anyone out there explain the reason for this?

Problems with pixel bender toolkit 2.5 for photoshop cs5

hi, i just installed the pixel bender toolkit 2.5 and i am trying to use it on photoshop but it won`t appear on the filters menu, and there should be a folder named Pixel Bender Files in the photoshop cs5 folder but there isn't any.. so what is going on???

It will NOT work, PB has been totally ruined.
So what I did was to upgrade to PS CS6, and its there in the filter menu.
I didnt get back to this forum till today, and sorry I didnt get the info to post ready.
Ive used the oil paint filter a lot since, its worth the upgrade to PS 6. But its nasty of them to take stuff out that we like to make us spend more $.
So, Warning,,,,,Im going OT here,,,,,,Apple has stripped out some of our old and favourite things when we upgrade to the new OS 10.9(Mavericks), and we are very unhappy with what they have done. Ive found some workarounds, but the really eyecandy stuff is gone from our screen savers, Mosiac, and some other things.
Is this cost cutting? Nope, not with AAPL, they have penty of dough.
Is this just youngsters in the app developing work who have not used the older and nice stuff? We dont know, but what ever you do, DO NOT give your older Macs away, as you will lose some of this fun stuff, and Adobe better learn too, as we oldsters use the old stuff. I dont like the Cloud prices either, so I upgraded all my Adobe stuff before they did that.
And do NOT get rid of the old PSE programs, as you can scan paper money and I use it for my web page background images, but I do distort it.
Im getting off into a rant, so I must stop, but I think these companies whoare making lots of money and have good products, should not mess with the good stuff. Hang on to your old programs and your old computers!

Alpha channel problem with Pixel Bender blendShaders

I'm using Pixel Blender to try and create a blend shader for a Flex 4.0 app.
It looks like this:
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel PixelReverse
<   namespace : "com.abc.def.filters";
    vendor : "EdAlive";
    version : 1;
>
    input image4 foreground;
    input image4 background;
    output pixel4 dst;
    void
    evaluatePixel()
        pixel4 fgPixel = sampleNearest(foreground, outCoord());
        pixel4 bgPixel = sampleNearest(background, outCoord());
        if((bgPixel.r == 0.0) && (bgPixel.g == 0.0) && (bgPixel.b == 0.0) && (bgPixel.a == 0.0)){
            bgPixel.r = bgPixel.g = bgPixel.b = 1.0;
        dst.r = 1.0 - abs(fgPixel.r - bgPixel.r);
        dst.g = 1.0 - abs(fgPixel.g - bgPixel.g);
        dst.b = 1.0 - abs(fgPixel.b - bgPixel.b);
        dst.a = fgPixel.a;
It looks correct in the Pixel Bender preview window.
When I use it in a Flex project with proper 32 bit png images, the filter seems to work correctly, except it sets any partial alpha value on the images to fully opaque (like a 1 bit alpha channel).
Because the image preview looks correct in Pixel Bender, I'm assuming it's a problem with the bitmap data that Flex is passing to the blend shader filter.
I tried changing the filter to simply output a copy of the foreground firstly, and the background second, to test.
When returning a copy of the foreground, the imags weren't visible on stage, either because the pixels were transparent or because it was really returning the background pixels, camouflaging the images.
When returning a copy of the background, the images were just black rectangles.
The images are being place on stage programmatically inside an mx Module, and having their depth property set.
They also have draggable behaviour, where the current drag object is layered above all else during the drag.
I'm actually using a subclass of mx.controls.Image, but am simply setting the source property with preloaded bitmap data, so I'm am fairly sure the subclass is not a factor.
I hope this is enough information for someone to be able to provide some help.
Thanks

Pixel Bender Plug-Ins in AE CS6

Hi,
i just noticed that my Pixel Bender Plug-ins do not show up in the Effects and Presets Area in my AE CS6.
I copied the *.pbg files into the Plug-ins-Directory of AE CS6.
What's the problem here?
Thanks.

I think one of the main points of Pixel Bender was, that everybody could code
some quick'n'dirty tool and use it right within After Effects. There have been
a lot of new, simple tools that where never created when SDK was around.
It's really sad that this possibility disappears now. If you want to let people
move to the SDK I hope you will provide really simplified wizards and an
excellent development UI integration. Not having a C/C++ background makes
it almost impossible to set up everything correctly to compile for example
a simple color transformation plugin with GPU acceleration.
Nevertheless it would be a miracle if PB gets released as Open Source,
from the amount of feedback this would be an excellent solution keeping
and even extending the possibilities of todays complex production pipelines.

Mac OS 10.10.3 killed my Pixel Bender plug-in

Hi. I installed OS 10.10.3 last night and now find it stops my Pixel Bender plug-in from loading and sends up a slew of warning and error messages. Here's a screenshot:
I love Pixel Bender and have used it without a problem for years on this iMac. How do I make it work again? Thanks!

How do I download the Pixel Bender plug-in for CS5?

Everywhere I go on the Adobe site, I see links that say "click here to download Pixel Bender plug-in for CS5," but when I click on the link, it takes me to this page:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html
That page has "archived" downloads for the CS4 plug-in, but not CS5. I also tried using the toolkit, but that looks like a programing language. I just want the plug-in that works with photoshop. I did find one site,
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Plugins/Adobe-Pixel-Bender.shtml
but it only had the windows version. I need the Mac version. Can someone help me?

Downloading a file would bring up an option to open the file or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

Downloading a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It's very frustrating - sometimes you want the file opened first so it can be discarded or saved to a different location.

Hey. that's great! Thanks for posting back with the outcome.

Inoperative link for Pixel Bender Plug-in for photoshop CS-5. I have tried all of those suggested and the link just back tracks to itself. Where is the real plugin link?

This question has been asked many times but none of the answers work. The one link that everything refers to does nothing other than to refresh itself. Where can I really get the Pixel Bender Plug in for CS-5 as I want to use the Oil Paint Filter that it contains. Thank you for any help you may offer.

Safari Crash - Problem with doodle (planer) app - doodle web links cause safari to crash with a very strange message "Error - Please make sure Safari is not used in Private Modus" (translated from german) No Privat Modus buttom in ios 7 safari settings!

Safari Crash - Problem with doodle (planer) app - doodle web links cause safari to crash with a very strange message "Error - Please make sure Safari is not used in Private Modus" (translated from german) No Privat Modus buttom in ios 7 safari settings! Works fine with an older Safari Version. Web link, call doodle app. You could see the website in the backround working but safari crashes after clicking on the error window. Any suggestions?

Turn off Private Browsing.
Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

Can I make custom blend modes with Pixel Bender 3d?

So it seems PixelBender does not work in GPU mode, which is essential in iOS.
I want to create a custom blend mode for adobe air in iOS and was wondering if it is possible with Pixel Bender 3d.

for the mesh, hexagon is actually better than photoshop. Since it can create the actual mesh. Though, you can import the mesh into photoshop so you can see it while you paint the texture.
The 3d creation portion of photoshop is still a bit limiting. (But my experience stops with CS5. I have not tried CS6 yet, so impovement could have been made)
The issue I have with hexagon is the amount of bugs in it. I prefer a more robust and more expensive alternative. But thats me
A free alternative is Blender. But I find the UI a bit outdated and hard to grasp. But again, thats me.
Generate your UV maps as you normally would then load them into photoshop and get painting. You may like other texture generating apps to go along with photoshop. Genetica is great for making tileable textures.
