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.

How would we get this wish and information out there onto the web, whereby some of these smart kids can find out about this?

There are plenty of smart guys who are totally capable of doing this, but how do we alert them to what we want?

I have a classmate who might know some people who make these photo-enhancing apps for smartphones, perhaps somebody there could get the ball rolling. I will try to see if they are interested.

Indeed!
The people who wrote it, could easily rewrite it, or make an app, and we all would GLADLY purchase it.

Sell it as a stand-alone filter, an app, and advertise it.
I, (and my PS classmates), would all go for it.

Or maybe the people who wrote the plugin initially should rewrite it for the new software. the bad business decision is made by the plugin manufacture not Adobe.

well, after reading this topic I'm starting to think the people behind Adobe must be the same people that are behind google. The same sort of spin has been handed out here for this plugin as is being handed out for why Chrome disables extensions that Google finds threatening.

Bottom line is, regardless of what Adobe says, people want a plugin that Adobe isn't making money off of and can't figure out how to make money off of... so it's been disabled.

Too bad. there are a lot of other plugins out there that depend on this plugin... and that is forcing users to use older versions of Photoshop.

Sounds to me like a: there's plenty of interest and b: adobe is losing themselves customers because people that want this plugin will not be upgrading.

Bad business decision Adobe. Maybe you should consider implementing the plugin as written, not the poor imitation you made of one of its functions, into the latest version of Photoshop.

so now that I have the oil paint filter in CS6, but it doesn't have the ACR filter. yes it opens raw images in ACR, but ACR cannot be applied as a filter. before the update to 2014 cc, it had both the ACR filter and the oil paint filter. I find I use the ACR filter frequently after applying the oil paint filter. this is annoying.

I have CS4 installed on my Mac just so I can use the peel off white plugin made by berg design.

thanks Boko, I installed cs6 separately, and now have it along side my 2014 cc. not ideal, but better than not having it at all.

have a good day

I am a cc customer, so I downloaded and update through cc. cc does not have the download option for cs6 so I am downloading seperately, and I can look into the pb plugin move later, as I am heading out right now. thanks again for your advice.
