Question

Will KillWhite run on Photoshop CS6 64-bit?

So - now that I am in need of what looks like just the most perfect and amazing solution... am stymied about getting it to work with CS6 Photoshop Extended (64-bit) - what am I missing?


When I run the filter (in CS6 64-bit), white isn't removed, instead the entire image gets all smeary as if the Oil Paint... filter had been applied.

Attempts in getting KillWhite to run from other CS installations on this 64-bit machine; CS4 & CS5.5 both 32 and 64, have been even more frustrating requiring re-entry of serial numbers, EUAs, etc., only to have PS fail to run at all even with several computer restarts and much testing.

Thanks for any help.

Kelly

Is there any way to install this in Photoshop CC 2017 64bit?
Thanks for getting into this, but have to download a 32bit version just for this perfect plugin working in Photoshop. Badly need this again! Thanks a lot Hannes

Killwhite can be done with blending.  Read this thread I crafted actions for the Killwhite function the killwhite plug-in 32Bit plug-in provided. The Actions work with Photoshop 64Bit as well as 32Bit so you can also have a kill white on a Mac.

    JJMack, you're a life saver! I've had to keep an old laptop handy with a copy of PS CS5 on it to throw pix onto it and yada yada...

    You just rocked my world!

    What your missing is that when you install CS6 on a 64bit machine is that Adobe's default install process install two Photoshop CS6 programs and trees on your system. A 64 bit version and a 32 Bit version.  KillWhite plug-in is a 32bit plug-in that would need to be installed into the 32bit Photoshop CS6. Adobe changed where they want users to install plugin to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-ins and you would need to run CS6  32Bit to use it. See here

    Thanks JJMack - this looks hopeful - IF - only CS6 32 worked. After creating the directory (in accordance with the Mike and Yael's directions), the app won't run now (like the other versions) and I'm leary as to what to try next in order to repair the damages made to CS4, CS5.5 and now CS6.

    In spite of all the problems this has created, I appreciate yours and R_Kelly's willingness to help.

    Kind regards,

    Kelly

    You seem to have a hard time understanding Adobe changed where they want users to install plug-ins in CS6 for 32bit plug-ins you copy the plug-in to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-ins  in your case  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-ins\KillWhite.8bf" then you start Photoshop CS6 32bit version using "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Photoshop.exe"  http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/release-note/release-notes-photoshop-cs6.html

    Looking at this link http://mikes3d.com/extra/scripting-plugins/killwhite/ it look like its a 32bit plugin there is one for the 64bit pixel bender but CS6 does not support pixel bender

    Thank you for the reply - even though it looks like the short answer is NO ...

    I'm not a programmer, but can't help to wonder: Is it possible to somehow import Mike and Yael's script into CS6's Extendscript Toolkit and still make some use of it?

    Its not a script its a compiled plug-in. You would need to be a pogrammer have the source code, have Adobe's SDK and a the right compiler.
