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.

I was also a pixel bender user and am sad that it isn't usable in CS6. I agree that the oil paint that was incorporated is not as good as the pixel bender one with the fine tune slider.

Just to make sure, have you clicked the »+1«-button?
Because it seems the number of »people like this idea« has not changed recently ...

I was an early adopter of Pixelbender, more as a user, and I'd gotten accustomed to the fine degree of control it gave you over thing normally reserved for Maya or Houdini. It was an awesome solution for getting certain looks across in my concept art. I simply don't see how you could announce a product plug in for photoshop last July (as dated in the forum) and then by december gauge that there was not enough interest to merit continued support. That's what you call giving up on your customers.

Having spent several months to develope Pixelbender filters that work in photoshop and flash, I really need this plugin back. I don't want to be stucked with CS5. Please put it back into the line.

I have been an extremely light user of Pixel Bender, still I hope it will be re-introduced to Photoshop at some point.

I also miss Pixel Bender in CS6! So bring it back, but please with an up to date userinterface! Not the one you use for the Oil paintfilter! We need something like the one that blur gallrey uses.

I am one of the unhappy people Randall is referring to.

I also hope Adobe changes their mind - this was one of the cooler aspects of a classic app.

In addition, the "oil paint" filter that was added to CS 6 does not produce as pleasant or useful results as the old standby Pixel Bender version. The new version actually offers LESS control over the output than the older version. Why??
