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.

well for now I'm running CS4 alongside CS6 it installed problem free. I have a few 32bit plugins I can still use so it not so bad. I found one of those actions not even close to peel off white. I'll keep looking.
thanks again chris

There are actions floating around the do the same as "peel off white".
And you'll have to read all the topics in the thread for the PixelBender backstory. (damit, I wanted that plugin in CS6 myself)

Well it looks like I can install PSCS4 on my Mini so at least I don't have to jump over to the G5 to use the plugin. but still what a pain in the azz.

Thanks Chris, this is the first comment I've read that explains that the Pixelbender group is gone. do you have any CS6 solutions to the peel off white plugin? or am I going to have to stick with CS4?

No, only the OilPaint filter is build into Photoshop CS6/
We tried to support all of PixelBender, but the PixelBender group went away.

I'm a peel off white user. I find this filter invaluable and now in CS6 I can't use it. If I want to use it I have to fire it up in CS4 on my G5. that is not progress. I read on the the Adobe labs page that Pixel Bender is built into CS6 if this is the case then older pixel bender plugins should work right?

I'm not very happy with this. Maybe Photoshop needs to build a peel off White into Photoshop instead of all this gimmicky stuff. I still have not found a method to peel off white as good as the old bergdesign plugin.

Just a repeated comment from the first. Showing that Adobe doesn't really "listen" to it's customers. They just take the money and run...

Cutting out this avenue for third-party development seems to go entirely against Adobe's recent push for community interaction with their web products... Very disappointing.

Dang, I thought resolution might be the key!

The problem with the new version is that it is now impossible to show the "texture" of the filter without using the crude "lighting" texture mapping sliders. In the Pixel Bender version, much more subtle effects were possible.
