Van Gogh Effect - Photoshop CS5 & Pixel Bender

[larcen25]

Adobe ext Manager 5.5 launches but displays an error message: "cannot install require 64bit PS in range of inclusively between 12.0 & 12.0"

[TutorialMe3459]

Why don't you just use liquify?

[Mistersensato]

Hey PhotoGavin, thanks for the vid. Very very nice.

Would you teach us Romero Britto's technique? His 'paintings' are so colorful and lively...

I've searched all the net and can't find a simple tutorial. It seem kind simple to me, but I have no idea how to begin.

Please. Thanks a lot.

[jreqwe]

hey i tried installing the pixel bender plugin and all is well but when i edit my image i can see nothing when i try to load the pixel bender plugin... any workaround on this one? thanks in advance....

[sampices122]

HEY Listen to song Starry starry Night...by Don...and try this tutorial...

[bayusampurno]

Thank you very much! I'm a huge fans of Vincent Van Gogh (I have several of the copies ). Also I'm a photographer looking for this! Very much appreciated! Two thumbs up!

[blackisredandblue]

Pixel blending looks cool on that, Great job dude.

[parrapro]

i find outstanding the effect you did there!!! but i've got a litle problem, see i don't have the "pixel bender" button. fyi: i'm using photoshop cs5.1 WHY IS HAPPENING THIS!!!???

[Mistersensato]

@parrapro Man, Pixel Bender is a free plugin. All u need to do is to go to Adobe's website, download and install. It's free.

[tanzy7]

wow ur voice is so happy :D

[amitgros]

my pixel bender does not import my picture !! what is the problem "???? need help!!!

[joemobumtwizzler]

i need help. my laptop sais this when i try and open it- 'The image dimensions exceed the hardware capabilities of your GPU'.... I have a pretty good laptop though, i'm confused??

[weekendtotaal]

@joemobumtwizzler ive had that to... with my destkop pretty good graphic card GTX275 and 4 GB Ram but i croped the image and it worked... maybe it helps?

[lp22hot]

You are the Freaking man Gavin!!! The UK Rocks!!!

[taylornblac]

when i try to use it freezes...what can i do

[ashkibala1]

@taylornblac maybe your computer cannot take it. use a better/faster computer

[Rationalific]

Awesome! You have so many neat tricks! That's why I'm subscribed!

[hiephoi058]

tnx!

btw to twirl counterclockwise hold down alt

[NilsenPhotography]

Awsome, thanks for this! One question tho, what software do you use for recording your screen so smoothly?

[88keys1mind]

Thank you- this is really cool. I have cs5 and downloaded pixel bender plugin. However, it won't let me use the oil paint option- says I have to change my GPU..any idea how I do that?

Thanks!

[elissachasez]

loike it so much..im in luv ~wink~

[judy4176]

Mr. Gavin I downloaded the Pixil Blender plugin but it won't let me install it. Says I don't have permission but I am the administrator so how do I do it? thanks Judy

[rohojamagic]

Hi Gavin. You make great videos, thanks for sharing. I have a question. In many of your videos you flick between original image and current image ..... it looks likeyou make one keyboard press. How do you do that?

[Talulli]

from where i can get the pixel bender i dont have it

[ldrcrusher]

wow 2 dislikes? these 2 cats need help from another galaxy.

[davidsgirl0]

i have photoshop cs5 and i can not find pixle bender anywhere in my filters or the oil paint effect can you please help

[clavzbelle]

Sir Gavin, you continue to impress us and educate us improving our work in photography and photo editing hobby. Keep up the good work. You are a real master in these two fields. :-)

[babybum2000]

[staylopictures]

You can't be serious. 

[SkorpionGraphics]

Sorry but, may be you can help me. I really do not find the pixel bender option in my Ps/CS5, so don't really know if it comes with the CS5 or if you installed an additional filter/plug-in. Please let me know, thanks :-)

About the video it is just awesome how any picture can be transformed in a great paiting. My wife says painters will end ha ha ha ha..... obviouslly not the true good ones :-D

Take care and please reply my question

[PhotoGavin]

[MnR1Productions]

hi gavin great effects what you can do to photos any thing i dont like about this in photoshop is when u take a bigger size photo in to it if only adobe would make the size more it would be really good and not to have it limited to one size

[rosstraci]

Nice one, looks a great result!

Where did you get pixel bender from?!?

[PhotoGavin]

@rosstraci Adobe labs... link in the video description (at the bottom) AND on the video.

You sir, took my photography to the next level. Your tutorials (photo and edit) led to some creations that got me nice reactions from friends and family.

you've got my vote... :) And tommorow, and the day after that etc. ;)

[PhotoGavin]

@muusers Thanks for the vote and more importantly, the very kind words.

[bigdaddycat]

You have my vote! nice vid!

[MrPixelgrower]

Gavin,

Is there a Pixel Bender for CS4? Searched, but nothing came up.. every hit seems to be for CS5.

[frustratingusername]

IM FEELING VERY DISAPPOINTED...CANT AFFORD CS5 and i dont think the pixel bender will do me any good with CS3... i know how to do clouds but have been trying for a long time for the 'OIL PAINT' effect:(

[yamaha1357]

You've got the support of my entire office of 140 now :)

We'll vote everyday for ya!

[PhotoGavin]

@yamaha1357 That's awsome news. I need every single vote I can. Many thanks for the support and keep voting ;-)

[MsKathy07]

Your photo is so beautiful, I admire your photography! I didn't realize their was a mini bridge, thanks so much!

[MrPixelgrower]

Voted Gav! Done. Hope it gets selected!

P.S. I was taught that Vincent's last name was pronounced "go",, have I been saying it all wrong for the past 40+ years? :)

[PhotoGavin]

@MrPixelgrower Thanks for the vote, and you're proably right. Suprised more people haven't mentioned it.

[muusers]

@MrPixelgrower Actually, its pronounced just the way it is spelled. It's dutch, so the 'G' will be next to impossible to pronounce for anybody who's not dutch :P

[frustratingusername]

voted for u gav...ur the "MAN"

[PhotoGavin]

@frustratingusername Thanks for the vote. keep'em coming.. once a day.

Acabo de dar mi voto para ti, suerte!!!

[leeofbacup]

Gavin. I would love to see some tutorials on the new "content aware fill" and the "puppet" tool. There is hardly any on youtube, and the ones that are on here are muffled and hard to follow. You explain everything clearly and with explanations on why and how.

[tbandopadhyay]

[PhotoGavin]

@tbandopadhyay Thanks for taking the time to vote

[zzielona]

Reallu useful :)

It got my vote for sure and I am going to try this effect right now. Thanks Gavin.

[PhotoGavin]

@astyag Go for it!!! and thanks for the support.

[notefinger]

Where do you get the Pixel Bender plugin? I Googled it but the Pixel Bender they showed look like a programing language and not a simple plugin filter.

[PhotoGavin]

@notefinger Labs Abobe. Link in the video or towards the bottom of the video discription.

[kubicam]

Voted and enjoyed the tutorial - thanks!

@MrSStech Use a Grey grad filter or take two exposures and join in Photoshop. I do have a video on YouTube showing how it's done.

Thanks Gavin. You've got my vote. I look forward to your videos all of the time. I enjoy each and every one of them even if it is something I already know, it is still a learning experience to watch someone else' style of doing the same thing.

[100shutters]

Does pixel bender work with Adobe photoshop's Lightroom 3

[PhotoGavin]
