The solution I came up with … get ready to cringe … was to go to image size … percentage … and take the Pixel Bender layer down to 50%. I had the problems you described with slow performance (I’m on CS5) … and did a lot of forum reading about the problem.

Now … this is my idea … I didn’t get it from anyone, so if your computer blows up, it’s all my fault, lol.

As long as I don’t have two versions, plus other intensive programs all going at the same time, I’m usually okay, lol!!! (The smell of smoke is a dead give-away that I’m in trouble.) I absolutely love your final image … I’m mad for poppies for all the beauty that you’ve captured so well!!!!īy the way, here’s a tip to anyone having trouble with Pixel Bender. Now, you’re going to think I’m completely crazy, but I’ve kept all my PS versions on my poor old computer (three to be exact) as either I’m too ignorant or too lazy to bring ALL the extras from one version over to another to another. Great info, Leslie, I’ll try pixel bender with your Topaz Creative Detail Accent. Photoshop has made some changes to the Oil Paint effects that I don’t much care for though. I’m now using the filter on a new, fast iMac so I can’t compare the processing needs exactly, but overall, it just seems more responsive and the preview is great. When I upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CS6 over the weekend, I was thrilled to find that the Oil Paint filter is now a part of Photoshop! I’ve been playing around with it this week and here are my initial impressions. It was also difficult to see exactly what you were getting in the preview window. The interface was finicky and the hardware processing needs were so demanding that I had a very difficult time running it on my 4 year old iMac (I’ve since upgraded my Mac.) It got to a point where I never used it because it was so much of a hassle. (See Combining Textures And Filters In Photoshop For A Painterly Look.)Īs much as I loved the filter, it had a few problems. I usually added a Topaz Labs* filter to up the detail and contrast. I love how the Oil Paint filter enhances details especially on plants and animal fur in a soft, undulating way. The filter has several effects, but honestly, besides the Oil Paint filter, I didn’t see much use for the others.
