P: Please support PixelBender in CS6/CC

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.

    Thank you all for your interest in and enthusiasm for Pixel Bender. Pixel Bender has been offered in the past on Adobe Labs as a technology preview. As of CS6, we're no longer providing Pixel Bender as a Labs technology. Photoshop CS6 has taken the Pixel Bender filter most popular with customers, Oil Paint, and turned it into an official feature in CS6. Photoshop CS6 no longer supports Pixel Bender for 3rd party development.

    The oil-paint filter in CS6 is nothing like the PB oil-paint....

    I am upgrading to a new computer and was going to move from CS3 to CS6--one of the main reasons was PB. Glad I'm only on the Trial version now. May have to look for a cheep 5.5!

    Well, Christoph, I got to know Pixel Bender (even without having CS4 or CS5) by a little something called THE INTERNET.

    I need suggestions for my Mac Pro OS X Lion 10.6.8
    I want to buy photoshop. Should I wait until mountain Lion is issued and then get the photoshop program?

    If you don’t already have CS4 or CS5 how did you get to know Pixel Bender?

    Keep in mind that the Photoshop team made no promises on Pixel Bender prior to the CS6-release (as far as I know) as it was an Adobe Labs offering ... so I guess there was no necessity for them to even point out that it would be abandoned with CS6.

    Let’s just hope a similar fate to Pixel Bender’s does not befall Configurator ...

    So, Mr. Cox, after having shelled out many hundred $$ for CS6, you are saying that if I only spent another $500 on eBay for CS4 or CS5, I could then use PixelBender?
    It's a solution, sir, but far, far from ideal.

    I know it's far from ideal, but all here currently have CS5 on their machine so it's no biggie to keep it and run it just for this application. Come to think of it I have CS4 too.

    Mr.Cox, I understand that this is not your responsibility but do you know if the technology has also been dropped from the other Adobe applications it worked for/with?
