Pixel bender error in ps cs4

first off specs of my system I am running a kit with an asus dx58so mobo, I7 core, 6gb ddr3 ram, dual geforce gtx 295 graphics card (triple monitor setup two hp and a wacom cintiq) with two 1tb sata harddrives, xp pro 64bit.
I have web design premium cs4, I have always had problems running opengl on the system using my cintiq (3d won't work unless I set my cintiq to be the primary monitor)
anyway I had pixel bender toolkit installed with WDP CS4 and but everytime I try to launch the pixel bender gallery from ps I get an error message: "a pixel bender error occurred: " nothing else, the pixel bender toolkit launches fine, but I thought perhaps since it did work once, I needed to update it, checked the newest version of pixel bender toolkit and downloaded it since it was the newer version as well as the pixel bIender plugins, have installed (both 32 and 64 bit)
I then proceeded to uninstall install both versions of the plugin (separately not together) and tested both, same result. I assumed the install of pixel bender toolkit would uninstall previous versions, which it did not, so I thought that I should uninstall via control panel, but to no avail the uninstaller wouldn't allow me to uninstall pixel bender toolkit by itself, so I can't uninstall, at least not that way.
anyway, I then decided to check if it was simply the version of my nvidia driver, downloaded and updated those drivers, and now, not only do I get the error from photoshop but when I open pixel bender toolkit as a standalone, I get this warning: "theere wasn an error testing your video card capabilities. Please make sure your card is on the approved list" well they are sooooo, I believe I have a compound problem something interferring with the launch via photoshop and now a graphics driver issue.
one thing else, I did install some pixel bender filters from adobe exchange, perhaps one of them affected pixel bender? I had installed them a long time ago, could someone refresh my memory of what a proper install of filters for pixel bender would be? perhaps I placed the files in the wrong directory.
many thanks beforehand for any help you can provide
(I apologize for the grammer, I was typing this a thousand miles a second, I have a ton to do today)

Turn off dual GPU usage in your card prefs.

Pixel Bender Gallery Error in Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

When trying to access pixel bender filters with Photoshop CS4, filters>Pixel Bender>Pixel Bender Gallery, I get an Error dialog images as follows...
I have read the ReadMe file and have the GeForce 8500 GT Video Card on this list.
The Pixel Bender Toolkit is installed at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\Pixel Bender Toolkit c/w pbk filters that run in the toolkit.
In Photoshop there are a number of pbk filters in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Pixel Bender Files.
The Operating system for the computer is Windows XP Professional c/w service pack 2 at least.
My question is... why am I getting this error message and how can It be fixed?

Here are two further images and an NVIDIA System Information report you asked for that I have prepared, I hope this will help.
I am aware that I could download trial versions of Photoshop CS5 and its Pixel plugin version, but first, this first image shows a message that loads from Photoshop CS4 when I start the program and has always done so from day one of owning the machine and the software, could this be of relevence to what could be the root of the issue at hand.
I also use 3D Studio Max with OpenGL and have noted rotating moving objects in 3D space of a file size of 10MB is very slow and chuggie, is this relevent, does this information give any clues.
Thankyou again for your time and effort in helping me resolve Pixel Bender Gallery Error issue.

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!

Pixel Bender in CS4

A friend of mine told me he thinks Pixel Bender will work in CS4. Does anyone know if it will? Also, I don't have Creative Premium. Would this make a difference?
Thanks in advance for any info.

The Pixel Bender plugin for Photoshop CS4 is still available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html. Pixel Bender filters will work in both After Effects CS4 and Photoshop CS4.

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.

Problem Opening Pixel Bender Filter

I just recently downloaded this Pixel Bender Filter for Photoshop CS4 (Win 32-bit). I downloaded it and finished installing with the adobe extension manager. However when I tried to use the pixel bender filter, photoshop becomes non responding and says: Adobe Photoshop CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Does anyone know why this is happening? Looks like a sick filter and I wanna use it!
Thanks

I believe your card is a shader model 2 card, we require a minimum of shader model 3, so the Pixel Bender plugin should warn you up front that your graphics hardware is not supported. I'm not sure why the plugin is not doing so but I do not expect Pixel Bender to work on your hardware. Sorry.

Pixel Bender 32bit for CS5 crashes CS5 when I select the plug-in

I am running Windows Vista Premium Home Edition SP2 on a Gateway Laptop. I have 2gb of RAM and I have checked and my Video Driver is up to date. I have un-installed all my other filters such as Topez and now running a clean version of CS5. I also run CS4 on the same laptop as I am working on converting as I purchase upgrades to my other filters. Pixel Bender runs file under CS4 but when I install it Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and then start CS5, load an image and then select Pixel Bender, it crashes CS5.
I have deleted the download and down loaded it again. I have looked through the forum and have not located a thread related to this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.
Michael

What graphics card are you using? What are the driver date and version as displayed via Vista's Display preferences?

Pixel Bender Filters

I`ve just downloaded the Pixel Bender filters for Photoshop CS4 from Adobe Labs. The speed of those filters is really incredible (GPU accelerated)!
But the filters itself :(
Most of them are pretty much useless in my opinion. I hope we will get more usefull filters like a simple gaussian blur or unsharp mask or smart sharpen. Of course we already have those filters in Photoshop, but not at that speed. Pixel Bender is really realtime!

Thanks, Stephan,
I wonder how much onboard memory new cards need to handle 8000x8000. It looks like the Technote on GPUs and OpenGL has been revised. I don't see the information that I recall earlier about what features work with various amounts of onboard GPU memory. There are more specifics in the FAQ at the bottom of the technote:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb404898
These are the FAQ's that seem most relevant to spec'ing a card:
>>
Q. How much video RAM can Photoshop take advantage of?
A. Photoshop is limited by OpenGL itself on the amount of video RAM it can access. Photoshop can access approximately 500-700 MB of video RAM. 3D, a separate feature from OpenGL, allocates its own GPU resources, and can use as much video RAM as is on the display card. If you load a large 3D volumeric texture, for example, it might use a considerable amount of RAM (such as 1 GB) by itself, leaving less than expected for the rest of Photoshop.
<<
So if I'm working with a 3D layer in PS CS4 extended, it sounds like 1.7GB of memory would cover Photoshop's maximum memory utilization and the adapter's 3D rendering overhead.
>>
Q. How much RAM do I need on my display card to run faster in Photoshop CS4?
A. For basic OpenGL functionality, you should have at least 128 MB of RAM on your display card. If you're running Windows XP in general, OpenGL will work best if you have 256 MB RAM on your display card. Most Photoshop work will run faster with between 256 - 512 MB of display RAM. If you do a lot of 3D work, you use Panoramas or large images, or you need to have multiple applications open at the same time that use the GPU, you might benefit by having 512 MB or more RAM on the display card.
<<
As I recall, the earlier version of this technote spelled out in more detail what "basic" OpenGL functionality means one image window without too much resolution in my experience.
The specific mention of XP suggests it needs more memory for OpenGL functionality. Vista virtualizes the graphics adapter and XP doesn't. I've yet to see anything but vague "it works better on Vista" from Adobe tech on what the GPU performance difference is between the two platforms.
>>
Q. Does Photoshop take advantage of dual-GPU display cards?
A. Not at this time.
<<
SLI and Crossfire aren't utilized by Photoshop.
I guess I'll stand pat with the GTX 280 card. I wonder if running Aero features uses GPU memory.

Photoshop CS4, Pixel Bender, Mavericks OS ERRORS

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and am using Photoshop CS4. When I attempt to use Pixel Bender Filters, I get the following error messages for all of the plugins:
ERROR: (line0): require metadata “namespace” of wrong type.
Expected string
ERROR: (line0) required metadata “vendor” of wrong type. Expected string
ERROR: (line 0) required metadata “version” of wrong type. Expected int
I have no clue what is going on. PSD files that have Pixel Bender filters applied on Smart Objects will open but simply attempting to turn off one of the filters causes Photoshop to crash.
HELP!

Hi there,
I have made some serious progress with this. I too was having difficulty with Pixel Bender in Mavericks and have tried with CS4,5,6 and CC. This morning I had a major breakthrough on CS5. I have successfully loaded and run the Pixel Bender plugins. I am however still crashing when attempting to run the Fractal Explorer plugins. Here is what you may need to do to correct the error messages and any issues loading with the Adobe Extension Manager.
1. Download this plugin Pixel Bender Accelerator for Photoshop and follow their direction to place the plugin - http://aescripts.com/pixel-bender-accelerator-for-photoshop/#upgrade-notice
2. Download and run the CS5 Extension Manager update (I used the 5.0.3 version) - Adobe Extension Manager Updates Downloads
3. Install the Pixel Bender Plugin through the updated Extension Manager and "replace all" if necessary.
I think that covers any steps I made to correct this. All the filters in the Pixel Bender gallery work except for the Fractal Explorer plugins at this point, and I believe thats a RAM issue I am having. Please let me know if this helps and if you discover anything along the way.
30 min later...
I just solved the last issue and ran the fractal explorer filters successfully. Once you have the Pixel Bender library accessible in Photoshop, run the Pixel bender accelerator with your image open and saved as a smart object. Once you have applied the accelerator all filter can be used in the pixel bender gallery. No crashing or error messages!!

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.

You'll find it on the right panel.

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.

After Effects CS5 Checkerboard Error (pixel bender)

I was just playing around with the pixel bender plugins inside CS5 and the pixel bender plugin checkerboard does not work. I receive an error message. Has anyone else been able to get it to work in AE? Just wondering if there is something wrong with my machine. Thanks.
Kevin Snyder

I've figured it out.
If you test like so, it works!
     dst.rgb = float3(0.0);
     if(mod(coordFloored.y, 50.0) < pixelSize(src).y)
            dst.rgb = float3(1.0);
        dst.a = 1.0;
