Love this plugin, thank you!
whats the name of the cool track playing on the demo?
when I try to use this plugin in CS5 (set to 32-bit mode) photoshop tells me there isn’t enough RAM. I have deleted the preferences and reset everything to default and still it doesn’t work. Any ideas?
Just bought your plugin, thanks a lot!
hello??? please help :[
Please Note, that starting with v3.0, this plug-in is not compatible with Flash/Photoshop.
“.pbk” files are Pixel Bender Filters which are supported both by Mac and PC. The installation for Pixel Bender Filters is a bit different compared to regular plugins. Here are the instructions to install them.
1.Download the Pixel Bender Plugin for Photoshop here
http://www.adobe.com/go/pixelbender_plugin_pscs4_32bit/
2.Double click that file and Extension Manager CS4 will Open. (If you have CS5, extension Manager CS5 will open, so close it and open the CS4 version). Now install the extension. (just click accept and it will install automatically).
3. Now you will see a folder in “/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/” called Pixel Bender Files. Drop the “.pbk” file from the download package (in folder “Pixel Bender After Effects”).
4. Choose Filter > Pixel Bender > Pixel Bender Gallery and you should Separate RGB.
ahhhhh! it was quite a struggle to install it but finally! thank you so much! this plugin its A MA ZING! thank you again
))
I need some help on how to install this for Photoshop cs4, im trying to use it in some images.
please
hey there guys, I’m curious where I need to install this to see it work photoshop??
I noticed on the demo video it says CS4 only but on this site it says AE7 & up.
Just wanted to make sure that your TV Distortion bundle/Seperate RGB will work in CS3.
Thanks.
Yes, the plugin is compatible with AE7. The Demo video is made for the Pixel Bender version, hence it incorrectly says CS4 and above.
Yes, all the plugins in the bundle are native plugins which are compatible with AE7 through CS5 and above
nice plug in.
nice plug in. just bought it. is there a way to use it in 3D space?
Do you mean can you distort channels in 3D space? Not yet. It might be implemented in the future versions. Once again, thank you for supporting development.
yah, that’s what i meant. anyhows, it’s a nice script. can’t wait for that to happen.
Good one… but i wanna ask about something..
Is that mean can we make movie 3d work with 3d glasses with red and blue..
cuz some of movies u can see lil bit separate between colors
I am not sure, if you can produce Anaglyph images on a single click with this plugin. But, you can use to produce the Red and Cyan versions with this plugin and overlay it on the source. May be AE’s in built plugin called ’3D Glasses’ can be used for this purpose.
Hey!
Great plug-in.
Will donate some money upopn pay-day.
Any chance of getting individual scale for x and y axis?
Would make it perfect.

It is definitely possible, but didn’t include that feature because there would be too many UI elements. If you specifically need it, contact me.
hey
