Adobe Axed Pixel Bender
Yep, in Photoshop CS6 Adobe took the Oil Paint Filter from Pixel Bender, built it into Photoshop and promptly dumped everything else. I found that disappointing – I kind of like Pixel Bender – in particular some of the fractal effects that you can create with it. I also have a Droste filter for it that is awesome and that I use from time to time.
Since I plan to keep Photoshop CS5 I’ll still have access to Pixel Bender – thank you very much Adobe!
Just in case you’re interested – the Pixel Bender extension won’t work with versions of Photoshop later than Photoshop CS5. Again, I wrote a DPS blog post on Pixel Bender, how to install it and what you’ll find when you get it here.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI found this forum thread in looking for fractal software - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1486803?start=0&tstart=0
It talks about an update for Pixel Bender, called "Pixel Bender Accelerator", that will run on later versions of Photoshop.
Just thought I'd pass on the info!
P.S. I enjoy your blog!
Thanks for the information. I'll definitely be checking into that!
