Hello, 

 

I want to use the oil paiting filter in CS5, but it's not showing up in Stylize.

I tried downloading Pixel Bender, but the EXE wouldn't run. 

Thanks for youe help!

In the Windows start Menu right click on the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 then More>Run as adminstrator

(my example is for the cs6 version, but cs5 should be the same)

 

 

Once your in the Extension Manager CS5 click the Install button and navigate to the downloaded Pixel Bender plugin file.

Right click on the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and click Run As Administrator or on windows 10 More>Run As Administrator and see if that makes any difference.

I was able to Run as Administrator in the Adobe Extension Manager, but I still got the same message. Where am I clicking for Windows 10? I do see the More > Run as Admin option when I click on something specific.  

 

Thank you! Jen

You want the Pixel Bender plugin for cs5 not the Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5.

 

 

From some reason adobe removed the links for the Pixel Bender plugin for photoshop cs5.

 

These links should work:

 

Here is the pixel bender plugin for the 64 bit version of photoshop cs5 on windows and mac

For the 32 bit version of photoshop cs5 on windows

 

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/pixelbender/pixelbenderplugin_p3_pscs5_32bit_ 061711.mx...

 

 

If you have photoshop cs5.1

 

windows cs5.1 32 bits

 

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/pixelbender/pixelbenderplugin_p3_pscs5-1_32bi t_061711....

 

64 bits cs5.1 windows and mac

 

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/pixelbender/pixelbenderplugin_p3_pscs5-1_64bi t_061711....

Did you follow the installation instructions?

Anyway Pixel Bender was not listed under the Stylize Filters, if I remember correctly, but in the Filter Menu’s top level.

Yes, I downloaded the Pixel Bender toolkit 2.5 for Windows, but recieved this error message when clicking the .exe file:

 

"Installer failed to initialize. File not found."

 

Thank you, Jen
