where from download it?
“oil paint”
I have never really got into the filters but have heard they can do some really awesome things. I love the looks of this one and will definitely be downloading it. Now all I have to do is take decent photos, convert them with this filter and then sell them as prints.

My MacBook died and went to Las Vegas where Apple gave it a new logic board, hard drive and battery. However, my nervousness about TimeMachine didn’t give me all my past additions — including PixelBender. Now it’s back and welcome home

this will not install. It keeps telling me i don’t have proper permission
really good
Van Gogh – not! Closer to manipulated Polaroid. Interesting tutorial shows potential, but not particularly creative or valuable as demonstrated. Way mechanical and heavy on the side of operators who want to perform a one-button trick. It will take a real artist to glean advantage from this tool set, and not use it as a bludgeon.
On my 1st try, I did a quick Van Gogh effect and a Seurat. This is really cool. I-ll be blogging it next week.
I had some trouble installing as well. I have Windows 7 and took a while to figure out how to give myself admin privileges.
Thanks so much!
Looks cool, but it’s not installing. The forums haven’t been helpful, either :-(
