Pixel Bender

Pixel Bender is a free plug-in for Photoshop CS5 that will give you a "painting" effect and a whole lot more.


From Scott:
"Though it is from Adobe and free, it does not come as part if the Photoshop installation, you will need to head over to Adobe and download it here. You can check out (and download) Pixel Bender filters that have been designed by others at the Pixel Bender Exchange."

The Adobe® Pixel Bender® Plug-in (v2.1) for Adobe Photoshop® CS5 supports processing of Pixel Bender filters on images opened in Photoshop CS5. These filters can be executed on the graphics card (GPU) or CPU of a computer. Pixel Bender customers as well as members of the Adobe Pixel Bender team have authored the filters that are included in this download.


Check out other complimentary Pixel Bender Technologies available for download from the Pixel Bender Technology Center. Here you can find the Pixel Bender Toolkit which includes the Pixel Bender IDE (an integrated development environment for Pixel Bender), sample filters, and documentation.

You can find a public repository of kernels hosted by Adobe at the Pixel Bender Exchange. The authors of these kernel programs have kindly agreed to share them with the wider Pixel Bender developer community.
