Pixel Bender install problem

Hello,
I cannot for the life of me get Pixel Bender installed on my windows xp pc. I get an error that says;
"pixel bender critical errors where found please see log file"
I do not know how to solve this, I did have a trial of CS4 which had the same error message when I tried to uninstall that. I looked around and was advided to use the clean script which I did to remove it and get rid of the reg entries.
I can't find a way around this, someone please help.
Neil

i'm very sorry here is the code (working) :
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel SimpleLight

    vendor : "Yossi";
    version : 1;

    input image4 src;
    output pixel4 dst;
    parameter float3 lightPosition
        <
           defaultValue: float3(0,0,-100);
        >;
    void
    evaluatePixel()
        pixel4 pixel = sampleNearest(src,outCoord());
        float3 Normal = float3(0.0,0.0,-1.0);
        float3 pixelPos = float3(0.0,0.0,0.0);
        float3 Kd = float3(pixel.r,pixel.g,pixel.b);
        float3 lightDir = lightPosition - pixelPos;
        float diffuse = dot(Normal,normalize(lightDir));
        float3 res = Kd * (diffuse);
        dst = pixel4(res.x,res.y,res.z,pixel.a);

  • Pixel Bender install issue

    I have been trying to install Pixel Bender on a Window7 64-bit pc in Photoshop CS5 Extended.  I am using the 64-bit Pixel Bender Plug-in.  On my first attempt I did not run the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 as administrator.  I removed the files and ran the install again.  The files are in the plug-in/filter directory but do not appear under filters when Photoshop is opened.  Is there a permission set wrong or a missing shortcut that needs to be established?  CS4 was on the PC but has been removed before the last install.  The pc has been rebooted.

    The pixel bender files are in
    adobe/adobe photoshop cs5 (64bit)/
    which is at the same level as plug-ins
    within plug-ins I have the filters folder which has pixel benders, average, vanishing point, etc.
    I do not see the oilpaint filter anywhere.
    When I open the keyboard shortcuts & menus, the filter options do not include pixle bender in the list

    Downloaded correct version of Pixel Bender, installed it, tried to open Extension Manager which opens but no programs or files listed, nothing available, install button / choice greyed out, unable to do anything but click to open sales page (aka Exchange). Downloaded/reinstalled Extension manager, still blank options, nothing happens when I CMD-O now what?

    Thanks.  That worked.  I had not gone to the .exe part of the file to apply the "run as administrator".

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Installed pixel bender but it doesn't show up under filter

    I am running CS5 Standard 64 bit Windows 7 Professional and downloaded and ran "pixelbenderplugin_p2_64bit_090910.mxp" that appeared to end successfully however; pixel bender doesn't show in the filters drop down list.  I could not see how I directed the plugin in CS5 edit preferences.  Any suggestions on how to proceed?
    Thanks............Ralph

    Duuuh.  I finally figured it out.  I had to right click on the Cs5 Extension Manager and not the executable file which was what I was doing.  Right clicked the Extension Manager and selected run in administrator mode and it ran successfully.  Started CS5 and the pixel bender filter was there.
    Thanks you all so much and I am sorry to have caused you to waste so much time.  If you don't mind and know the answer, why when I get this same message when installing other plugins just responding continue allows it to work fine.
    Again thank you for fixing my problem..........Ralph

  • Failure to install PS update 12.0.2 now seen in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5

    I spent several hours with Adobe support yesterday and the day before trying to resolve a failed install for CS5 PS update 12.0.2. Apparently, this is now a known (and acknowledged) problem and an effort to fix is underway. This a.m. I noticed the Adobe updater was prompting me to download and install not only PS 12.0.2, but also update 2.5 for Flash Pro CS5 Adobe Pixel Bender. I'm writing this to report that the installations for both products failed this time. Apparently the install problems are not limited to PS. My very reliable software platform is Win XP (SP3) with plenty of disk space, memory and processor power.

    Does anyone know why it would fail on this update? I was able to do some of the earlier updates, but then failed on these.
    When I clicked help->Updates,
    These shows up for me.
    Adobe Extension Manager CS5 20MB
    Adobe Flash Pro CS5 4.9MB

  • Cannot Install Pixel Bender on my Master suite 5.5 Student Edition

    Does any one know if there is any limitation on the student edition for add-ons? When I try to download the Plug-in (Pixel Bender from Adobe Labs) file all gibberish comes up on the screen. I spent several hours with Adobe support, who bounced me around to 4 different people. None could help. I was able to download the file on a different (PC) computer & save on a flash drive,. When I try ti install it on this Apple iMac using Extension Manager it says that it can't find the installer file. Has any one faced this problem?

    After spending several hours yesterday with different Adobe Help Lines to solve this problem and still being unable to install on this Apple iMac, I posted this question on the forum. Today I decided to try again, lo and behold it worked the first time! I still had to use the installation file that was downloaded on another PC and saved on a flash drive. I just can't believe. It now works, that's all what matters to me.

  • Pixel Bender 2.5 problems

    I've just installed PB 2.5 (after following the upgrade instructions in the release notes). However, none of my scripts work at all now, nor do any of the example scripts. The only thing that appears in the GUI panel for some of them is the image input selection menu.
    Many of my fractal scripts (in the Adobe Exchange: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=authorExtensions&authorid=14858639) don't use an input image but generate an image region for output. Now with these scripts I'm getting the alert: "WARNING: (line 0): empty generated region!"
    I'm on an iMac with OS X 10.5.6 and a 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card if that makes any difference.
    Any suggestions? I'm going to revert back to v2.1 for the moment until 2.5 works again.

    Tom,
    Thanks for posting. I have been able to confirm the problem you describe and would advise rolling back to the earlier version (2.0 or 2.1) of the Toolkit for the moment. We're looking into the issue and will have an update on Monday.
    On behalf of the Pixel Bender team, I offer our apologies.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Installing Pixel bender

    Yes has anybody had any trouble downloading Pixel bender using CS5 extension manager? I keep geting the message I do not have administrative permissions. Even though I have all administrative permissions on my ImacG5 10.6.7. Is there a way around this or has anybody have the anaswer.

    yes I had no trouble downloading pixel bender from the web. As administrator of my computer I should have no problem installing, but no matter what I do keeps telling me I do not have administrative permissions.

    Just to be clear, I assume by "downloading" you mean you're seeing this problem when installing the Pixel Bender extension via Extension Manager, correct? You were able to successful download the Pixel Bender extension from the web, correct?

  • How do I install new filters in Pixel Bender

    How do I get the new filters in the pixel bender menu? I download them from Pixel Bender Exchange but there are no instructions.I can't find them anywhere with google searches.
    I tried just unzipping the files and putting the pbj and pdk files into the pixel Bender files folder in Photoshop, but that returns an error message when I attempt to use it.
    I then tried just putting in the pdk files in since that is what is alredy in the folder, but I just get the same error message.
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong. This is in the 64 version of Photoshop (Windows 7). I appreciate any help you can give me.

    Yes, the tool kit runs on my machine, though I have to admit the syntax is beyond me at this point. I will have to let other people create the filters.
    I could not find anything that said "Driver Provider" or"Driver Date". Maybe in my computer it is not quite the same arrangement. I have copied the information I find when I go to the NVIDA control panel, and click on System information. Perhaps it will tell you what you need to know
