Pixel Bender

I recently learned that you had a Pixel Bender or Droste Filter in Photoshop cs4. But when I tried to download it into Photoshop cc it wouldn't work. Why wasn't it included in cc?

Adobe killed off Pixel Bender in CS6. It has been retired.
John Nack on Adobe : Pixel Bender discontinued in PS, AE CS6
It was a nice experiment which Adobe claims did not get enough traction amongst developers - so Adobe killed it since they had other uses for their resources.

Image Processing Algorithms - From Matlab to Pixel Bender

Hello.
Got a few Image Processing (Mainly Image Enhancement) Algorithms I created in Matlab.
I would like to make them run on Photoshop, Create a Plug In out of it.
Would Pixel Bender be the right way doing it?
The Algorithms mainly use Convolutions and Fourier Domain operations.
All I need is a simple Preview Window and few Sliders, Dropbox and Buttons.
I'd appreciate your help.

pixel vs float - Couldn't figure out what exactly is the difference if there is at all. I assume Pixel always get clipped into [0 1] and float won't until it gets to be shown on the screen as an output?
There is no difference between them. At one stage of development we had some ideas about the way the pixel type should work that would make it different to float, but the ideas never came to anything and by the time we realized that it was too late to change. It's #1 on my list of "mistakes we made when developing Pixel Bender".
Regions - Let me see if I get is straight. For the example assuming Gaussian Blur Kernel of Radius 5 (Not the STD, but the radius - a 11x11 Matrix). I should use "needed()" in order to define the support of each pixel output in the input image. I should do it to make sure no one changes those values before the output pixel is calculated.
Now, In the documentation is goes needed(region outputRegion, imageRef inputIndex). Should I assume that at default the outputRegion is actually the sampled pixel in the input? Now I use outset(outputRegion, float2(x, y)) to enlarge the "Safe Zone". I don't get this float2 number. Let's say it's (4, 3) and the current pixel is (10, 10). Now the safe zone goes 4 pixel to the left, 4 to the right, 3 up and 3 down? I assume it actually creates a rectangle area, right? Back to our example I should set outset(outputRegion, float2(5.0, 5.0)) right?
Needed is the function the system calls to answer the question "what area of the input do I need in order to calculate a particular area of the output?".
I should do it to make sure no one changes those values before the output pixel is calculated.
No, you should do it to make sure the input pixel values needed to compute the output pixel values have been calculated and stored.
Should I assume that at default the outputRegion is actually the sampled pixel in the input?
No. When "the system" (i.e. After Effects, PB toolkit or the Photoshop plugin) decides it wants to display a particular area of the output, it will call the needed function with that area in the outputRegion parameter. The job of the needed function is to take whatever output region it is given and work out what input area is required to compute it correctly.
Let's say it's (4, 3) and the current pixel is (10, 10).
Don't think in terms of "current pixel" when you're looking at the needed function. The region functions are not called on a per-pixel basis, they are called once at the start of computing the frame, before we do the computation for each pixel.
Back to our example I should set outset(outputRegion, float2(5.0, 5.0)) right?
Yes - you're correct. Whatever size the output region is, you require an input region that has an additional border of 5 pixels all round to calculate it correctly.

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

Wenn noch fragen offen sind einfach fragen, ich würde gerne das Problem so schnell wie möglich lösen....

Ja wie gesagt es hat davor auch ohne Probleme Funktioniert nur war ich gezwungen das System neu zu Installieren und ab dann konnte ich die da oben genannten Updates nicht mehr Installieren. Ein Mac ist zwar eine schöne Sache kommt aber für mich nie in Frage da ich mein PC als Arbeitsrechner und Gamer Rechner nutze und das meiste läuft halt nicht auf einen Mac und man müsste manche Programme neu Kaufen, das sehe ich überhaupt nicht ein, und meine Anwendungen werden aus Prinzipien nicht für Apple Produkte entwickelt da verdient man kaum etwas... aber das muss jeder für sich entscheiden. An eine neue Version habe ich eventuell nächstes Jahr gedacht aber auch nur die CS6 ob man das brauch ist die Frage da CS 5 genau macht was es soll. Das Modell mit der Adobe Cloud hat zwar denn Vorteil das die Programme Aktuell sind aber man muss Monatlich dafür Zahlen und CS5/CS6 oder älter brauch man nur einmal Kaufen. Darüber hinaus finde ich eh das Adobe so eine richtige S*** ist wenn es um Support ältere Programme geht so zeigt Adobe meiner Meinung nach das Ihre Produkte nichts wert sind zumindest macht es den Anschein. Aber wie gesagt, bin ich hier um Hilfe zu bekommen um das Problem zu lösen ohne ein neue Version zu kaufen, das ist ja bekanntlich die einfachste Lösung, aber wenn Informatiker auch so denken würden dann würde es sehr schlecht aussehen... und als Anmerkung am Rande, es wäre ja nett wenn man mir denn Link dieser Updates zukommen lassen könnte um die Updates Manuell zu Installieren.
"Aber wie sollen wir denn Programme testen auf Hardware und OS, die es erst in ein paar Jahren geben wird."
Dies kann man in voraus natürlich nicht aber in nachhinein geht das und Software Entwickler denn etwas an Ihre Produkte liegt, machen das nachhinein auch und passen gegebenenfalls Ihr Produkt an.
PS: CS 2 läuft ebenfalls auf einem Windows 8.1 rechner ;-)

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

Please make sure you have installed the latest graphics drivers, from http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us, for your graphics card.

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.

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.

Photoshop CS5 on a Mac, unable to load Pixel Bender (extension manager failing as well??) can

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".

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.

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.

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;

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.

How to create gamma (midtone) changes with help Pixel Bender?

I'd like to create Level correction with help Pixel Bender. I made correction for each channel (r, g, b), it works. But I don't know how to make correction for midtone for each one.
Is there some formula or example?
Unfortunately google hasn't got solution
I use the next code for each channel, for instance, the red channel will be look like
dst.r = ((dst.r-red[0])/(red[1]-red[0])-rgb[1]-rgb[0]), where red[n], rgb[n] are the values which can be changed by user

thanks for your reply! so, if i wanna change gamma for each channel separately i have to change your code so:
dst.rgb = pow(dst.rgb, float3(red[1], green[1], blue[1])/gammaRGB)
where red[1], green[1], blue[1] are the parameters of gamma
i compared the result which i've got and it's different from photoshop's
so, now my code looks like this
    parameter float3 red
    <
        minValue: float3(0.0,0.0,1.0);
        maxValue: float3(1.0,1.0,1.0);
        defaultValue: float3(0.0,1.0,1.0);
    >;
    parameter float3 green
    <
        minValue: float3(0.0,0.0,0.0);
        maxValue: float3(1.0,1.0,1.0);
        defaultValue: float3(0.0,1.0,1.0);
    >;
    parameter float3 blue
    <
        minValue: float3(0.0,0.0,0.0);
        maxValue: float3(1.0,1.0,1.0);
        defaultValue: float3(0.0,1.0,1.0);
    >;
    parameter float3 RGB
    <
        minValue: float3(0.0,0.0,0.0);
        maxValue: float3(1.0,1.0,1.0);
        defaultValue: float3(0.0,1.0, 1.0);
    >;
    input image4 src;
    output pixel4 dst;
    void
    evaluatePixel()
        pixel4 p = sampleNearest(src,outCoord());
        float rgbdiff = RGB[2] - RGB[0];
        p.r = ( (p.r - red[0])/(red[2] - red[0]) - RGB[0])/rgbdiff;
        p.g = ( (p.g - green[0])/(green[2] - green[0]) - RGB[0])/rgbdiff;
        p.b = ( (p.b - blue[0])/(blue[2] - blue[0]) - RGB[0])/rgbdiff;
        p.rgb = pow(p.rgb, float3(red[1], green[1], blue[1]) / RGB[1]);
        dst = p;
upd: i tried to apply this filter again and it seems to me it works! Thank you very much for your correct answer. Maybe you know how to use photoshop's 'output panel', this parameter increases/decreases values of channel. Photoshop has this parameter in the bottom of level's panel.

I've got the exact same problem:
Trying to open the Pixel Bender Toolkit, it immediately closes after initiation. No message whatsoever.
I hadn't used the plug-in for a while, I have changed my graphic card to an unsupported NVidia card. But the Pixel Bender filters do open in Photoshop CS5(12.0 64-bit), although new filter don't seem to show up (but that might be a different issue)
