Just when I was wondering about creating a background you guys covered it – good timing!
Good show. Regarding Scott’s poster tutorial, I recently posted a Photoshop script that automates the process of add a mat and frame to a photo. I also included a video tutoral. See both at http://www.craigstocksarts.com/tutorials/frame-script.html
Love the show guys! Really hope I can make it to Photoshop World!
I chose a person at random to win the prizes, and surprisingly enough it turned out to be me! Where do I go to get the good stuff?
In case it helps, my favorite segment this time was David Cuerdon’s. Clear and specific, but capable of extension in interesting ways.
Nice to have the three musketeers back !
Matts Lightroom Templates Tip. Excellent.
Guys, please don’t let me win a pass to Photoshop World! I live in Norway and can’t afford the trip. I also have the Perfect photo Suite, so you know what I want.
Hey guys, thanks for another great shows and the shout out to UK peps.
As an actor/aspiring graphic artist its great to see Dave stretch not only his photoshop skills but his interview AND acting skills. Top show.
I wish I could make it to photoshop world but it is FAR from the UK.
Have a blast though and enjoy all the fans piling into your hotel rooms after all the promises of free accommodation ha ha.
You all rock!

Great show as always guys.
Being as your show is sponsored by/contains adverts for the onOne Software plugins, maybe you could do a few tutorials showing them in action and how to get the most from them?
Hey Scott, nice Vox shirt!….How about some doing a feature on product photography…..maybe visit the PRS factory for it???
Love the show. I await each week to see what goofines you will come up with.
Punxsutawnian? Great word!
Another rockin’ episode of PSU TV! Nice to see all of the “Guys” back together. Those pesky book deadlines really interfere with this show.

Here’s a random comment:
You know it’s going to be a bad day when you awake and realize your waterbed leaked during the night. Then you realize you don’t have a waterbed.

Nice Show guys!
I’m glad I found your shows. I’m new to digital photography and having tons of fun. I don’t want to spend money on classes so your free shows are greatly appreciated.

woo hoo!
Great show guys. Think you should have worn cheese heads though with umbrellas for your mates in the UK
!
That was a bombastic show guys, I know the answer to the Q but skip the trivia today
Love the show … thanks for the opportunity to enter the contest as well.
hey guys love the show, keep em coming
Nice show!
Wonderful show guys. Would love some of the goods.
I’d love to see more tips on getting a subject of an image to fit with the lighting of a different background. (ex. person taken on a white background then imposed on a background that has a different light color, say a fire glow) The white light from the studio setup won’t look natural on the background with the fire lighting.
Thanks!
Hi! Love you’r show. You Rock!
