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?

Where can I get Oil Paint filter for Pixel Bender?

Hi, I had to reinstall my CS4 after a system disk crash, and now I cannot find free Oil Paint filter for Pixel Bender plugin. It is not included in a new version of the plugin available for download. Where can I download the old version or only the Oil Paint filter file to restore my working software configuration? (Photoshop Extended CS4, 64-bit)

It was removed, you can only use it in the previous version: Photoshop: Spring Cleaning | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG

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.

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.

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.

The Pixel Bender for PH CS5 download link doesn't work

There is a download link on
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html
for
Pixel Bender Plug-in for Photoshop CS5 with following adress:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/pixelbenderplugin/
but if you click on it you will be back to
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html

I'm looking into this (whether to remove the PixelBender dev page or add the CS5 plug-in to the Legacy Downloads section at the bottom of the page).
That said, PixelBender is more or less EOL (end of life) as it's not supported in CS6 and not planned for support in future versions:

Can't download Pixel Bender for CS5

I've tried clicking directly on the link on the Adobe downloads page for Pixel Bender and also the links offered in the forum. Same result each time, a very long page of mostly question marks comes up but no other indication that PB is downloading. I have Photoshop 12.0.4 x 64. I checked to make sure the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 is in my Applications folder and it is. What am I doing wrong?

@ MTSTUNER
No, it is not listed there.
In PS CS5 after closing I get a warning that the application has crashed (adobeowl.dll). Contacted Adobe about this but got no reply. Lightroom crashes when using the Detail Masking slider (posted that in the appropriate forum). This doesn't seem to get fixed either.
Pixel Bender won't install and I just give up, don't want to waste any more time by visiting yet another forum.
I guess Windows XP is not really supported by Adobe. And there are problems with Win 7 too, I read. Maybe it's better to switch to Mac and use Aperture in combination with The Gimp?
But thanks for the help anyway.

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.

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)

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 authoring tools

I have a few questions about the Pixel Bender authoring tools
when Pixel Bender is officially released. I hope someone can answer
these for me or point me towards the answers.
1) Will the Pixel Bender Toolkit be freely available? If not,
will it become a part of Flash CS4, After Effects CS4 and Flex
Builder 3.2?
2) Will the command line compiler be freely available, along
with a language specification?
3) Is the Pixel Bender format open, so that we can expect
third-party development tools? [The answer seems at least partially
yes, since Conduit for Pixel Bender has made its appearance]
To clarify where I'm coming from: I own Photoshop CS4 and
Flex Builder 3 and I'm looking forward to create Photoshop plug-ins
using Pixel Bender. It would make for some nice speed gains,
cross-platform compatibility and a lot less hassle than the PS SDK,
for those plug-ins that don't require the SDK functionality. I have
no need for Flash, so it would be a shame if I had to buy it to
generate Pixel Bender bytecode.
Thanks!
Simon

Kevin, thank you for answering. My major concern was that in
order to write pieces of code for one of the Adobe programs, people
would need to buy another (expensive) program, such as Flash. I'm
happy that's not the case.
As to my point (3), I understand the decision to keep the
run-time Adobe-only (for now) and by 'open' I was indeed referring
mostly to authoring tools.
Thanks again!
Simon
Oh, I'm not sure whether this is the correct place, but let
me sneak in a feature request in relation to Photoshop: it would be
really great if the Pixel Bender plug-ins for Photoshop would get
the option to be supplied with color data in a standard color
space, such as RIMM RGB (used in ACR/Lightroom). That way, the
plug-ins would effectively be color managed, without the hassle of
performing color transformations inside the kernel.

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.

Pixel Bender an Photoshop CS5

What about Pixel Bender in Photoshop CS5?
I didn`t see anything in the CS5 launch event.
I would love to see new features like:
some useful filters
at least some tools like hand tool etc. (not everyone knows shortcuts)
no more size limit at 4096x4096px
navigation like in Photoshop (flick-panning, scrubby zoom etc.)
onscreen tools like in PS
So what`s the deal with PB and PS CS5?

Just installed the new PB version.
I can only speek for Pixel Bender in Photoshop, but I`m wondering what the PB team has been doing since the PB version that shipped with CS4.
It`s the same useless plugin as before. It`s fast (as it was before), but that`s it. Still no useful filters, still a file size limit, that cannot even open a pic from an entry level DSLR, no colormanagement, no tools (not even a rightclick menu for zoom levels) etc., etc.
After 1,5 years extremely disappointing!
Will we ever see a PB version that`s really worth installing for Photoshop?

Can't get pixel bender to load in my CS5. The plugin does not work. Help!!!

Went to all the places to get the Plugin for pixel bender. When I load it in it stops and says I need permission form the administrator to do so. Where do I go from here?? Loaded in the 2.5 pixel bender tool kit but you also need the plugin. I have CS5 and also CCS6 can't get that Pixel Bender or Oil Paint filter in any of them. I keep trying!! Any suggestions are very much appreciated!!

Server-Side Pixel Bender

I've written a PHP extension capable of running Pixel Bender kernels (Flash-compatible ones). Performance is not great, as it's not multithreaded and doesn't make use of the GPU, but it can typically process an image in fraction of a second. Compiling to native code using gcc reduces this time further.
It's something that opens up new possibilities for Pixel Bender, I believe. You can allow end-user to interactively adjust the parameters to a PB filter, with immediate display of the outcome. The final parameters can then be sent to the server and which apply the effect to the stored resource (an image or perhaps a video).
