Why pn earth would Adobe drop this hugely successful and uniqe set of plug-ins/filters! I know a lot of people are very unhappy about this. I really hope Adobe changes its mind and comes out with an upgrade/patch to fix this problem.

Egads, Ive spent this whole day trying to install PixelBender into my PS5, and my classmates are awaiting why I cant, and want an answer from Adobe.
It just plain wont install on either of my new Macs.

Finally, yes, finally, I found this forum.
Ive lost one day of my life trying to deal with this, what is Adobe thinking of when they abandon us like this?
I have an older version of PS, 3, and I am certainly not going to buy PS6 till Adobe fixes Oil Paint the way it should be.

So let us know, can we install PixelBender into PS3?

Lets get this pathetic thing clarified and written out what we are to do if we want to get PixelBender and how to do it, and if we cannot get it, for heavens sake TELL US!

Everything Dennis says is right on the mark. I used P.B. almost every 3 days over the last year. OilPain(t) in CS6 doesn't come close.

I'm yet another who uses the Pixel Bender plugin. I didn't even realize it wasn't supported in CS6 until I'd already put out to buy the new bundle.

I use P.B. extensively in "artifying" certain stock for illustrations / graphics in games (board, card, video, etc.), web work, book covers, prints, etc. I'm sorry, but the Oil Paint filter isn't all that was in P.B., and that filter doesn't match up in quality either. P.B. was better, and it's approach to adjusts produced a slightly wider range of effects. Adobe, you punched a monster hole in my workflow!

This is a serious loss after throwing down quite a chunk of change for CS6. Time to reload PS CS5... just to use the best art based plugin ever made... for free.

OK the ones I've run across so far have not. I will keep looking. you could could also point me in the right direction if you wanted to.
I still think this should be built in.

Thanx Chris, You da man no matter what all those disgruntled users say.

I don't know why this thread has even been left open. It is obvious that the Photoshop team's answer to our pleas is simply "go away don't bother us".
It's all about excuses and pointing fingers at other people - even blaming the customers (that's always fun).
Adobe is a software company where no one apparently knows how to write or modify software.

I would very much like to. Is there a way this might be realized?

Some of the actions out there do *exactly* what the old plugin did, using existing tools in Photoshop. (and yes, I know how to do it)
