Need help installing(?) oil paint filter CS5 [2016]

[theendverse]

I'm working with CS5 of adobe photoshop on my mac, and I don't see the oil painting filter as an option. Is there something I have to download separately as a plug-in for it? If so, where can I get it.

Hi,

Please download the plugin from the below mentioned link.

http://www.adobe.com/technology/projects/oilpaint.html

Pixel Bender Developer Center archive | Adobe Developer Connection

Thanks

Hey there, I found that same link after I posted my question. I have installed this tool-kit for mac into my computer successfully, and for some reason it's not coming up under filters in my photoshop at all? Should I be looking elsewhere in CS5, or am I missing an additional tool to make it work? I opened the tool-kit on its own and there is no oil paint filter installed on it.

May i know did you followed the instructions as mentioned Below.

To install the Pixel Bender Toolkit in Windows:

1. Download the Pixel Bender Toolkit ZIP file.
2. Unzip the package, navigate to the unzipped location, and run Setup.exe. The Pixel Bender Toolkit files are installed into your Program Files folder under Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities - CS5\Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.
3. Launch the Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit IDE from the Start > All Programs menu.
4. Load a Pixel Bender file into the IDE by choosing the File > Open Filter menu or by pressing Ctrl+O.
5. To try the filter, click on the Run button on the bottom right corner, underneath the code editor window.
6. If the filter requires an image for processing, you will be prompted to open an image file. If the filter has parameters, you will see editing controls in the panel on the right edge of the application.

To install the Pixel Bender Toolkit in Mac OS:

1. Download the Pixel Bender Toolkit DMG file.
2. Double-click on the DMG item to mount the installer virtual disk.
3. In that virtual disk, double-click to launch the Setup application. The Pixel Bender Toolkit files are installed into your Applications folder under /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities - CS5\Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.
4. Launch the Pixel Bender Toolkit IDE from the Applications Folder: /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities - CS5\Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.
5. Load a Pixel Bender file into the IDE by choosing the File > Open Filter menu or by pressing Cmd+O.
6. To try the filter, click on the Run button on the bottom right corner underneath the code editor window.
7. If the filter requires an image for processing, you will be prompted to open an image file. If the filter has parameters, you will see editing controls in the panel on the right edge of the application.

Yes. I have done all of those steps for mac. There are filters in there to run, but oil paint is NOT one of them.

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

I know you posted these links a few years ago, but they're not working for me.  I'm running CS5 on a Mac and the filters just aren't showing up . . . .

[Jeff Arola]

What version of macOS are you using?

You have CS5 or CS5.1?

Help>System Info in photoshop and the top line will say either photoshop version 12.0.xxx which is CS5 or photoshop version 12.1.xxx which is CS5.1

[HillsW]

I really appreciate your response.  I'm running El Capitan 10.11.6 and Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 x64.

Thanks!

[Jeff Arola]

You downloaded the top link for the 64 bit version of photoshop cs5 on windows and mac?

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/pixelbender/pixelbenderplugin_p3_pscs5_64bit_061711.mxp...

After you downloaded and double click on the download does the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 open and install the Pixel Bender plugin?

Is it listed in the Adobe Extension Manager CS5?

/Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5/Adobe Extension Manager CS5.app

[HillsW]

I definitely downloaded the correct link (although it no longer seems to be working). When I double click on the download, Adobe Extension Manager CS5 opens. It comes up with a strange error message (see image). Then it asks to Accept Terms, which I do. It says it's installing (it looks like its installing), but when it's finished, there is nothing listed (see 2nd image below), and when I launch Photoshop, the Plugin is definitely not there.

I am encountering the same problem but with a different error message. Please help.

What version of windows are you using?

Have you tried running the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 as an adminstrator by right clicking on the Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and clicking Run As Adminstrator?

I wanted to get this for Win 10, and I'm using CS5 Extended 12.1x64......the link is a dead end for me.

Thanks!   ; )

I'm having the same issue with the "you do not have appropriate permissions" window popping up.  I've tried running the Extension Manager as an administrator (R-clicked on the program as described above, clicked "install" button at the top and navigated to the file saved on my desktop) but the same pop-up eventually returns.  Any other ideas?

[Jeff Arola]

What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

[photohopper123]

CS 5 and Windows 7 Pro

[photohopper123]

I believe I have the 32-bit version of CS-5

[Jeff Arola]

If in the Extension Manager CS5 you go to Help>About Extension Manager, what version does it say?

[photohopper123]

Version 5.0.298

Following up on this.  My project is on hold due to this issue.  Thanks in advance!
