What is the Pixel Bender technology?
Adobe Pixel Bender technology delivers a common image and video processing infrastructure which provides automatic runtime optimization on heterogeneous hardware. You can use the Pixel Bender kernel language to implement image-processing algorithms (filters or effects) in a hardware-independent manner. The Pixel Bender graph language is an XML-based language for combining individual pixel-processing operations (kernels) into more complex Pixel Bender filters. Visit the Pixel Bender technology Center for more information.
What has changed between the Photoshop CS4 Pixel Bender Plug-in and the one for Photoshop CS5?
The CS5 Plug-in now includes an OilPaint filter (similar to the Cartoon effect found in After Effects CS5) as well as support for both 32- and 64-bit Macintosh and Windows operating systems. The OilPaint filter included in the Photoshop CS5 Pixel Bender Plug-in enables parameters to create oil paint-like effects on your images.
