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 did you get CS6? Did you buy it? if so you must have an installer for it. Also there is the option of moving the pixelbnder plugin from your old computer to the new one.

Buko I am a cc customer, so I dont have a dvd. I will try download cs6 itself and see if I can install beside 2014 cc, like it is on my old computer. thanks for the advice.

Install it from the downloaded installer you got when you first bought CS6 or the install DVD. I have CS4 CS6 CC and the new CC2014 all installed on my Mac.

Buko as a cc customer how can I load cs6? I do not see that option anywhere. how can the oil paint filter in cs6 be copied and applied in 2014 cc? from what I've read there is no way to have the oil paint filter in 2014 cc.

why not install CS6 on the new computer or Just add the plugin from CS6 to the new CC.

just adding my two bits. I am new to PS, joined with cc last year. I have never used pixel bender, but really enjoyed the oil filter for certain photos. when the update for 2014 cc came along I soon realized that it was missing, but 2014 had side installed next to cs6 which still had the oil paint filter. I thought it was odd, but was workable.

now that I have a new computer I have lost cs6 with the oil paint filter, and have to transfer the files to my old computer to use the filter. not so smooth a work flow.

I am now using the greycstoration plugin to get a similar effect found here

it's better than nothing, but I prefer the oil paint filter.

Where does the oilpaint .pbk or .pbg file reside from CS5?

This product does not include the oil paint! i bought it hoping it did...There must be some way to import the filter from CS5 Pixel bender to the 3rd client plug-in.

If anyone figures this out please let me know and i will do the same...

FYI – It looks like a 3rd party has released a full PixelBender-esque plug-in that will work in CC. Haven’t tried it myself, but may interest those who liked Oil Paint and PixelBender: http://aescripts.com/pixel-bender-acc...

The oil paint filter that comes with CS6 is no where near the same filter. Pixel Bender was smooth and glossy. It had depth and life to it. I used it on almost everything to liven up. Even if just to accent edges on top layer and leave the rest of the image without. There is no comparison. The life is gone. I am almost depressed. Definitely extremely disappointed. We pay too much money and give way too much loyalty to be facing this issue. Please do something!
