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 not showing

Hello
i just installed Adobe Extension Manager, then Pixel Bender (it appears on the list of extensions for Photoshop CS5).
A "Pixel Bender files" has been added in the Photoshop CS5 path, with some *.pbk files
But when I start Photoshop CS5, open an image an look in the "Filters" menu, there is no reference to Pixel Bender !
Did I forget something ?
I use Photoshop CS5 with Windows 7 - 64 Bits
Thanks for anuy help

Thanks for your answer
Following your comment, I downloaded and installed both ( 32 and 64 bits)
versions of Pixel Bender
It works fine when I start PhotoShop CS5 32 Bits version
But it does not appear when I start the 64 bits version !
Thanks for your help

Pixel dimensions not rendering correctly with Extract Assets?

Was really excited to hear about extract assets and have been trying to set up a new workflow but am having some difficulty. My PSD is set up ay 2x size, so I need to create 1x-sized assets. My 1x-sized assets are rendering with a 1px white line around them and I can't figure out why this is happening? I have tried both with the .5x button selected and also speccing the required pixel dims in the layer name, and both produce the same result.
In my layer name I have: [email protected]%, 498x440 filename.jpg-85%
The resulting asset is 500x442px and has a 1px white line around it
What am I doing wrong?

Hi can you email me your PSD file? My email ID is: [email protected]

Region for pixel bender

Afaik region function in pixel bender does not work in flash. I use a pixel bender on a masked clip and instead of calculating only the masked area pixel bender renders also invisible / masked areas. Which becomes a problem because I have to mark a special position in pixel bender and the area pixel bender is rendering changes evey frame where somthing is moving/animating outside my masked area.
First I used a copy of the clips graphic but now it is animated and copying every frame is a bit hungry in performance.
Is there an easier way to calculate only a region of a clip?

Pixel Bender... I do not have the appropriate permission...

I get this message consistenly on all attempts: either installing pixel bender in extension manger as well as launching xmp plug in by itself.
"You do not have appropriate permissions required to perform this operation. Contact your system administrator to obtain permission."
I tried this:
the "Is -alFod" procedure in the terminal.app;
Re: Pixel Bender... I do not have the appropriate permission...
1. Open the Utilities directory within the Applications directory.
2. Launch the application, "Terminal.app."
3. Type "ls -alFod " (case is important and note the space at the end) in the terminal but do not press enter/return.
4. Drag and drop the Pixel Bender Extension Manager package, "pixelbenderplugin_p2_64bit_090910.mxp," onto the window in "Terminal.app."
5. Press enter/return.
6. Copy the contents of the window and report them here.
gives me this result:

Re: Pixel Bender... I do not have the appropriate permission...
It's not clear to me how you can get into a state where the ls command cannot be found. Do you have admin rights on your mac? Regardless, please start a new thread, with details about the problem you're encountering. Thanks.
My admin rights is to an extent that i can bequeath the unit to anyone as I please.
Problems encountered is as stated on the first post, exactly like the problems encountered as posted by Brabusa60's; and the Is -alFod procedure at Terminal.app returns an unlikely response.

Sorry for the untimely response. I had internet troubles.
here are the terminal.app the output for these:
ls -alFo ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/
ls -alFo ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Extension\ Manager\ CS5/
ls -alFo /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS5/
Last login: Mon Apr 13 21:13:57 on console

total 0
Even though I had read write permission then I was only able to succesfully install after I enabled "root" user.
nevertheless, thank you for responding

Pixel Bender will not open in PS CS5 (not enough RAM)

I get the following message when I try to open Pixel Bender in Photoshop CS5:
Could not complete the Pixel Bender Gallery command because there is not enough memory (RAM).
I have 4GB RAM on a Mac Mini 2gHz Core Duo, and I have never had another plug in fail to load. Requirements are supposed to be the same as CS5.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your response.
Photoshop is running in 32-bit mode, as most of my plug ins are not yet 64 bit.
This error dialog appears before the gallery opens.
All my images are under 4096 px wide. I tried using a much smaller image. Same message.
I tried increasing the available memory in preferences. Same message.
I tried lowering the available memory in preferences. Same message.
My Mac Mini has an NVidia 9500M, which is listed as one of the cards that support GPU processing for Pixel Bender. Memory is shared with the CPU, but that should not be relevant - many others would have had my complaint if that mattered.

Pixel Bender does not show in filters after installation but shows in extension mgr as plugin

I installed pixel bender (64bit) into my CS5 extended group through the extension manager as administrator as per directions for win 7. All went well and I restarted both PS5 and the computer. I do not have any pixel bender option under filters or anywhere else I can find. Did I do something wrong? I will uninstall it and try again, but right now, it's not looking good.

Ok... here's the deal. I installed the CS5 Master Collection on my computer. It installed a 32 and a 64 bit version of PS5 on my Win 7 64bit system. I thought that may have been because I downloaded a trial version (possibly 32 bit?) from the web before I got my full version in the mail. I uninstalled it and did a clean install with the disc a second time thinking that the earlier trial version had created some kind of protocol. When I reinstalled the PS5 64 bit from the disc it AGAIN installed both versions but the only one that will open is the 32 bit. So, I downloaded the 32 bit version of Pixel Bender and reinstalled (as administrator) the plug in (or extension) from the Extension Manager. It is there now although I have not tried it. At least it shows. I still don't know why I am working in the 32 bit version??? Anyone know?

Pixel Bender is NOT installing Please help!

I have The Creative Suite Version 5.5, which includes Photoshop CS 5.1. I'm trying to install the Pixel Bender Plugin for Photoshop CS5.1. I run at x64 bit and I'm attempting to install the correct plugin version. However, when I double click on the MXP file it opens up Adobe Extensions Manager 5.5 and goes through the process to install the plugin, when finished, the plugin isn't listed on the Extensions Manager. I don't get a error or any kind. The plugin simply doesn't show up. I have restarted my computer, downloaded the latest version of Adobe Air and Flash Player. I have repaired permissions on my computer. I'm really at a loss here. Can anyone help? Oh and I'm Running a Mac with Lion. Thank you in advance.

I spent all day yesterday trying to install PB into my PS5, and it will not work. Then I got smart and started to search the forums, and it has been DISCONTINUED! This means that you cannot get it to work.
Though I did see someone say that you can get PB into PS3. Which I still have, so we are awaiting to see if anyone on those forums has any info on that.
Oil Paint, which is the one filter in PB that we all want, has been put into PS6 as an included filter. But we are awaiting some of our classmates who have already updated to PS6, to tell us if they like it. I wont upgrade to the new version yet.
I realize that this forum has not been added to for a year, but hope my answer helps those of us who are really interested in Oil Paint.

Pixel Bender will not install

I downloaded Pixel Bender and have tried both auto and manual install into my
Photoshop 5> Extension Manager, but it keeps telling me that it cannot install
into my 32 bit Photoshop 5 PC program. Also installed Adobe Air in case I needed
it.
Message I keep getting is...
"Extension can not be installed, it requires 32 bit or 64bit Photoshop ver5 or later"
What could I be doing wrong for it to not install?
I've got plenty of memory and disk space along with an Intel i5
processor. I've installed all updates to my Photoshop 5 that I purchased
when it first came out.

Preview is not rendering fonts well in PDFs

Hi,
For some reason Preview is not rendering fonts well in PDFs. I have created high quality PDFs using two applications (Illustrator CS5 and Numbers '09) and in both cases the fonts are not rendering correctly in Preview. They generally look much less sharp. I am attaching screenshots below, with the original image first and then the PDF in Preview.
When I look at the same PDFs in Acrobat Pro the fonts look fine, so I am presuming that the issue is with Preview. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Thanks,
Nick

It looks like, at least in the Navigation menu, that your using Palatino font, which isn't a web safe font. So Explorer is probably substituting another font when it finds fonts not installed on the viewers computer.
You may be using the default font in a particular iWeb theme. These aren't necessarily web safe fonts.
For your pages to look better on most computers, change all your fonts to web safe fonts which you can find in the "font inspector window" in iWeb. (there is a "font" button on the bottom edge of the main iWeb window) There, you will find different categories of fonts, you want to use any of the fonts listed under "Web" group of fonts.

Pixel Bender did not install with CS4 on Win7 64. Downloaded toolkit, message "installer failed to initialize"

Pixel Bender did not install with CS4 on Win7 64. Downloaded toolkit, message "installer failed to initialize"
What should I try next?
Thank you, and happy Holidays!

What I had installed was CS4 Desin Premium on Win7 64 bit. Pixel bender seems to be installed, but nothing happens when I launch and it doesn't show in Photoshop 32 or 64...
Thanks

Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?

Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?
I found a simple answer to this question: control click on the thumbnail and select "purge cache for selection"
After years of intermittently having this problem, this solved the issue. I had just finished a fresh install of main sys hd (new hd) and first time opening bridge encountered this issue again after not having the problem for a few years.
Hope this helps others.

Pixel bender parameter not showing up in flash

I am writing a pixel bender filter to be used in Flash. When I run the kernel in Pixel Bender I can see and change all my parameters (float and float2), but once exported to a .pbj and embedded in Flash I get a "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.". I have run a loop tracing the shader data and it does not show that the parameters are there I change the version number for each export and I am surely embedding the latest version.
Can someone please tell me why this would be happening, I am totally at a loss.
Thanks,
Chris

UPDATE:
You can forget converting the fonts, here is what really helps:
Move all of your fonts from your user library to your desktop (or whereever, just make sure to remember where), basically uninstalling all your fonts.
Then put the fonts that you need & miss in FLASH into this folder: Macintosh HD/System/Fonts
Enter your user password to confirm the movement of the files into the system folder.
Restart FLASH.
Now the formerly missing fonts should show up in FLASH.
When you're done with your Flash Project, you can delete the added fonts from the system folder and move your old fonts back to your user library in order to get your sytem back the way it was.
WARNING: Be careful while in the system folder, you don’t wanna make any mistakes there. ^^
SICK that adobe is not fixing this issue which is really hell hell hell. Hope this helps you guys in the meantime.
cheers.
