Great show – thanks so much for sharing your talents.
Always love the show. I once saw a tutorial by Scott where he matched the color temp for the subject to a separate background image color temp. Would love to see more examples in a future episode.
Great Show!
Great show
As usual enjoyed the show. It is great to watch on my iPad when I’m on the train to & from work! If I get picked out (optimistic, but ya never know, right?), much as I wld LURVE to do a PSWorld one day, no way I can get there (am in UK & broke!), so I’m hoping to get drawn for another prize or pick someone else? Can’t wait to see the PSWorld episodes tho! And one day I’ll get there!
Love you guys, poor college student that has learned so much from you guys.

I download the podcast before I go to work. Highlight of my day is watching it over lunch.
Hate my job, like the pay, but at least I get to try these tips out after a weekend shoot.
Thanks for keeping them on line. I really appreciate that.
My wife has just recently gotten me into watching the show, and as I am relatively new to PS I find everything very interesting and informative. Thanks

What is wrong with this picture.
You mention doing the Feb 8, 2011 show in FL.
But you were all bundled up, sweat shirts and layered!
San Francisco has had warm weather the last two weeks up to 80 degrees and warmer inland.
Love laughing & learning at the same time. Love the show! Good to see all three of you together again.
How about giving one of those extra monopods away???

Great show. Love the poster layout.
I was watching Photoshop User TV when my wife entered the room to speak to me, I hit pause, my wife glimpsed at the screen, and confusingly asked “What’s Matt doing there praying on set??”…

Your wife knows him by sight and refers to him by first name only? That’s pretty cool.

Photoshop dudes! I watch your shows religiously… as long as they automatically download on my iTunes… but it’s not there any more and I can’t find it to subscribe again. Please help!
I’ve learned so much from you guys. Thanks!
Hey guys, it would be awesome if you could hook me up with a pass to photo shop world!
Just beginning to watch Photoshop Users TV since I now have CS5. Not easy to learn to use so I guess I will have to go back to Episode 1 to start the learning process. Thanks for the ability to be able to go back and view all episodes.
Great show. Just found it and added to favorites. I’m a noob so every bit of info helps.
I am new to kelby training and really love the tutorials, they have been very helpful. I just found the tv portion of the site and have viewed many videos. Love it.
