I am asking as i got a link about a pixel bender accelerator and I really don't have a clue as to what pixel bender does and so can't evaluate whether it would be worth my time learning how to use it.

Hi Ellis,
It's obsolete technology (https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html), and not compatible with recent software.
Cheers,
Bart

It's not an accelerator, but a software development kit for writing image processing algorithms. And, like Bart said, it's not supported on the newer releases.
I looked at it a couple of years ago, and bit the bullet and went with Matlab. There are free image processing SDKs for Python and other languages, and there's a free Matlabish program called Octave (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Octave_Programming_Tutorial).

I had a play when it was about, but wasn't impressed, it did a half decent oil painting sort of effect, but that was about all I could get that was usefull for me. I wouldn't bother again myself.
