hi,
Lately, I can’t download the episodes, Is there any problem? I’m connecting from Iran. Is there any prohibition for Iranian users?
Thank you.
QUICK MASK OPTIONS, ( TRIVIA PART )
Now down to business,
the OnOne suite would be sweet!
been saving up for that and a lens from B&H
Great show as a;ways, gotta run out to get the new PSU magazine.
give it to me!
I guess I am in the “not so smart” category, so I will just enter the contest. Good show!
Hi From Ireland
Love your ahow.
The window is how you change highlight color on the quick mask tool. You can just double click on the tool and the dialogue box comes up
Great tips-you need to get the Knool Light Factory on your discount list.
1. When a new episode is posted, it seems to show up on the front page intermittently. For instance, this episode showed up last night, then today I didn’t see it on the front page again. When I followed the PSUTV links down, the episode was again visible.
2. Useful stuff this time. Nice to see Cory can do a tip that doesn’t require Extended. NTTAWWT.
3. Long, substantive comments are much more work than, “Send me free stuff!” So maybe it’s people like me who aren’t, shall we say, very smart … in Photoshop.
Another great, informative show… Thanks
Leave comments here for the contest? I’m the only one? I Win!
Thanks, you guys rock
Another great show! What kind of Laptop was RC using? Oh, and pleeeeeeeaaaaassse send me to PSW!

I just tried MPIX for the first time based on your recommendations. The results were great and I will be using them from now on.
Another great show
You guys never fail to teach me something new.
Thanks for the great tips! Really enjoyed the episode.
quik mask. sorry, can’t go to Fla. but that onone software would really be great.
i never knew you could stack filters.
Nice show as usual. I hope one doesn’t get disqualified for writing blog posts (click my name to read it) where one shows better ways to do things… =) Or not necessarily better, but definitely simpler. I’m still a great fan of Smart Objects though, so no hard feelings I hope.
Lovin the show as always. Thanks!
Love the show! Please enter me into the contest.
Great Episode!
I’m one of the not so smart people. pick me.
Good show.
Always look forward to the newest episodes on Kelby TV. Always worth the wait.

Unother Unexpectedly great show! Definitely going to use that spot light tip. I always learn something new & Unexpected from you guys. Way cool!
Doubleclick the very last icon in the bottom of the tools pallet.
I dont know what its called, but you can paint selections with it.
I want to go to Orlando!!
Maybe “inexperienced” is better than “not so smart” (we’re sensitive, too)
Thanks for another great show guys.
Thanks guys for this great show!!
you didn’t publish my previous comment!
Anyway , I’de love to have the suite… Please lol!!
hi guys, entertaining show!
please enter me in the drawing.
Nice info’s guys
Since I’m not very smart I will just leave a comment. Bite me Matthew!
great show. Here is an idea for you. Many of the tips are covered in training modules in more depth. Why not reference the training module during the show if people want more detailed info on the tip.
Great show again guys.
Dave btw, (just a theory…I could be wrong) but I believe the way minimum works is by minimizing the darker space……in other words if you have black and white lines and use minimum the black would get bigger, if you use maximum the white would get bigger.
Since your text had a color and the space around it is not seen (thereby black in a mask for instance) the “black” area was minimized.
Great show Guys!!
Great tips thanks.
Another great show – loved the B&W tip.
Can you put some sound deadening flats up in your new studios to cut down the echos?
All great tips this week.
You guys always rock!
