Pixel Bender only available for jpg files?

I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a brand new macbook. Everything has been working fine. I recently installed Pixel Bender and started playing with it. It seems to work fine on .jpg files, but whenever I open any PSD files, (or raw files from my Nikon) the Pixel Bender menu item is grayed out. I'm sure I am doing something wrong, but can't for the life of me figure out what that might be. I read that the filter needs to be applied to a smart object, so I tried creating a new layer and converted it to a smart object. But still the PB menu item is unavailable!! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Mode is RGB and 8 bits.
However, it appears that the problem has gone away. I did uninstall and reinstall the exention.  It must have been an anomoly because I can not reproduce the issue. Thanks for your attention to this issue. Regards.

  • Custom DNG camera profiles only available for DNG files?

    I developed a custom camera profile for my Sigma DP-1, using a colorchecker chart and the DNG profile editor.
    I exported the DNG profile in the default location.
    When I open Lightroom or ACR, the new profile is not available for X3F files, only DNG files. Is this normal???

    Well, I've imported the original X3F file as well as the converted DNG file in Lightroom.
    When I develop the DNG file, my custom profile appears in the list. When I click on the X3F file, embedded*  is the only option.
    It may have to do with an incomplete support of the X3F format. I have just repeated the exercise for my D300, and in this case the custom profile is available for NEF files.
    Too bad since I'm happy with some of the Adobe camera profiles for the D300, but less so with the default look for Sigma DP-1 files.
    I guess I should file a bug report...

  • Is it possible that theseproperties are only available for files and not f

    Hello All,
    I have created few properties like ReqNo (takes Integer) and ReqDate (accepts Date). 
    I have set the above 2 properties as manadatory. Created a Group and added his goug in 'allgroups' such that I see a tab wherein I can fill in these properties.
    My questions is:
    <b>Is it possible that these properties are only available for files and not for folders</b>. The reason being that even if I create a new folder, I need to fill some values in the above two mentioned properties.
    These properties need to be mandatory and cannot make them optional.
    Please help me solve this mystery.
    Awaiting Reply.
    Thanks and Warm Regards,
    Ritu

    Hi Ritu,
    If you only want the property to be available for files and not folders you only enter data into the "Document Validity Patterns" field in the Property config.

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

  • Is xmp files only availble for RAW files?

    When we develop a RAW image with Camera Raw, we always get an xmp file with all the settings,
    But after I developed a JPG image, I saw the Camera Raw Settings icon appeared above the right upper corner of the image thumbnail in Bridge,
    however, I couldn't find the xmp file.
    Is xmp files only availble for RAW files? JPGs or TIFs don't have xmp files for their Camera Raw settings??

    Read-only didn't work for me, on a single jpg file, although it did lead to some interesting behavior.  Set the read-only attribute on a jpg file in Windows XP and then tried the following:
    1.  Opened in Bridge, then into ACR 5.4.  Performed some edits, then tried "Done", received permissions error and would not save edits.
    2.  Did the same except now invoked "Open", went into CS4 with edits intact and allowed saving out as different file.  However, the ACR edits were not saved within the jpg, as expected, nor was a xmp created.
    3.  Removed the read-only attribute, repeated (2).  Even though did not save file in CS4 the "Open" action did embed the edits into the jpg.
    So read-only doesn't really allow creation of a xmp file, other than perhaps temporarily for transfer to Photoshop.  It does lead to somewhat inconsistent behavior, in that I would have expected the "Open" to fail also since it could not bury the edits in the jpg.

  • 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?

  • "Preview not available for this file" error message.

    I'm using LR 4.4 but it hasn't worked correctly since I got my new camera (Canon 70D). When trying to import I keep getting the "Preview not available for this file" error message. I had some better luck connecting the camera with a usb cable, that let me see the jpg images, but it would not let me see the raw (.cr2) images. Would I solve this problem by upgrading to LR5?
    I'm running LR 4.4 on a Windows 7 PC.
    Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    Support for the Canon 70D was introduced with LR version 5.2. see the link below.

  • AC:U only available for shipping

    Anyone know why Assassin's Creed: Unity is only available for shipping on both the PS4 and X1 version? I know each store is gonna have like a zillion copies. Why can't I pre-order and select in-store pick up?

    Hi DannyEndurance,
    There are a few reasons why pre-order items on BestBuy.com may not be available for store pickup. In most situations though, this can generally be attributed to the item being an online-only product or all expected inventory having been already allocated to existing orders. While we can't provide any specifics here or details on upcoming product availability, I'd encourage you to keep an eye on BestBuy.com for updates the closer we get to the release date. Remember that you can also pre-order many titles we carry by visiting your local Best Buy store.
    Thanks for your interest in pre-ordering Assassin's Creed: Unity with us!

  • Only Available for Store Pickup

    I have six Xbox 360 Games in my cart that I would love to purchase!  
    Only problem is "Only Available for Store Pickup" and no stores in my area?
    This really seems silly to me and is a missed sales opportunity.
    No one our buying these games and no one probably will.
    These titles have been available now for months...  
    Is there any possible way to simply have them shipped
    to me or my local BB if they must be picked up at a store?
    I would be more then happy to pick them up If I could.
    There must be a way around this, can someone here work their magic.
    Let's figure out how we can make this happen and make a sale!  
    THANKS - 3DK
    3DKillers - Founder of ClaN G!B

    Hi there 3DKillers, 
    How frustrating it would be to get a great selection of several games in your cart only to find they aren't available for store pickup in your area! If they're fairly popular games that we should be getting consistent stock of, it would seem strange that none of them are available in your area. 
    Sadly, if they are only available for store pickup, we would likely be unable to ship them to your home. With that said, if you should like to provide me the name for each game (SKUs would work perfectly) I would be happy to look further into this issue with you! 
    Sincerely,

  • Preview not available for this file on import

    I just transferred all my stuff from a vista computer to a new Windows 7. Lightroom 3.3 is now running as a 64 bit. I am importing tiff scans which were done on the Vista computer. At first everything was going fine, but now when I select files for import, all I can see are greyed out boxes which say "preview not available for this file". If I import the file, all is well, but I would like to see them in preview as well. Also, the program has crashed twice in the middle of an import.
    Thanks for any help!

    Yes, the larger preview is viewable. I'm using Vuescan to scan the files. Nothing has changed with the scanning from the previous scans which worked fine...same settings, same computer (not the new one).
