Great show guys. Love Joel’s tip
Great show again.
If Joel has trouble “seeing” green, what adjustments or techniques does he have to use while doing color balance?
absolutely awesome show
great tips
very minute things count
Great show, thanks
Great show .
great show guys
Would like to be a Pepper, but even more, I would like to win a copy of Light It, Shoot It, Retouch It!!!
Previously Matt, Scott, and the Canadian would sit at the metal bench together. With only three people, why does RC sit off to the side at the weather station?
Good show Gentleman. I’m kind of liking the “No Matt and Scott” format.
.
I look forward to watching Photoshop User TV every week. Thanks for a great show.
Nice host Pete. Please enter me. Jock
It looks like I may have been first to comment on this episode. How’d that happen? It may have been a Minute show but it was jam packed with great tips. See you next week!
superb episode>>> thanks as always!
YA RightOn
I understand the show is about quick everyday tips and techniques of the trade, but some of them are to basic and random. Also, the comedy bits need work. Other than that I have gain some knowledge through the show.
Would love to have Scott’s new book!!!!!
Don’t like; too many short tips
like PSUTV is back…
Cool episode. I would love to see what Pete actually uses these drawings for. (And I’m looking forward to winning Scott’s book!)
Another great show guys! Thanks.
choose me I really need that book
Light it Shoot it, I want it
I would love a copy of light it ,shoot it ,retouch it !!!
Great as usual!
It’s how to sell the fake…that’s a very universal thought.
RC What no weather report for the Minnesota Plains? Great job Pete.
Great show as usual. Mr Grimes tips were good for refining but I think he may have been nervous :/
Great SHow
Geat show as usual. Mr. Grimes’ tips on refinement were good, but I think he may have been nervous! :/
Very svelte show!
Great show as always. Mr. Grimes’ tips on refinement were good but I think he was nervous! :/
I think the comments are broken!! nothing is showing up on multiple machines.. sorry if I ended up posting a whole bunch!
Really cool show guys!
Joe Grimes tip was great.
Love the Joel tip. However is this the same as using the layer mask adjustment.
Another great, albeit, minute show
Light it, Shoot it, Retouch it…gotta get it, have it, read it!
Love the show. Keep up the good work!
Great show…hey an idea you mention plugins how about showing a photoshop tip and then the same with a plugin.
Less talk, more rock.
Actually I would like to see a speed round of dozens of quick tips.
A specific tutorial request – how to: a variety of comic styles. From Lichtenstein to sketches to line art.
Great show I never miss one.
Thanks for intro to Joel Grimes, great info
hi
great show guys! i attended the light it, shoot it, retouch it tour in Toronto and it was amazing! can’t wait to get a hold of that book!
Hats off to all the behind the scenes folks . Great show guys
Great tips as usual. Would like some 3D stuff from Corey.
Question: During RCs tip I noticed that the spacing between the bright spot as he called it and the ceiling on the left was a little off. Can he then take the puppet warp and fix that gap?
Great PITFALL! show!
Newish viewer, I’m always intriqued by you guys.

Good to hear from Pete and appreciate his drawing skills and perspective.
Great show.
Whoa! Pete’s running the PSU TV show now! What’s next, Pete? Will we be seeing a name change to Collins Media Group?
Nice tips and even nicer shirts.
Really would like the book, but I’ll be buying it in Boston at Ben Wilmore’s seminar!
–John
I always walk away with a bit of new info! Keep it up!
Thanks!
Great Show
good show guys.
i’m a pepper too.
This comment is a request for subject for an upcoming show.
I would like to see a tutorial on matching skin color on one image with the skin color on another image.
There used to be a tutorial, years ago, on the Internet that showed how to do this, but it is no longer available. This technique worked by sampling the rgb values from the first image, then using curves in the CMYK mode on the second image to make the skin color the same as on the first image.
Do you guys realize you’re still suffering from the effects of Photoshop World/Las Vegas overload?
Pete is getting alot more comfortable.
Great show.
Great show!
Nice!
Great show
Hi guys!
Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your show, but in all of the episodes I’ve watched, I’ve never heard you mention the shortcuts X or D, that probably is the shortcuts that I use the most.
X swaps the foreground color and the background color while D resets the color pickers to black and white.
(I’m a PC user, but they should be the same for Mac, right?)
Keep up the good work!
Nice Job as always
Great show. Thanks.
Free STUFF!!
) (Scott’s book!! HEY!!!)
Handy tip from RC on the cropping. And Joe’s tip on selections was great. I’ll try it later today
Since it was asked, is it possible to have some comparison between the Wacom tablets? (show sponsor). The photoshop guys mentioned some times that “getting a Bamboo is a waste of time and money, get an Intuos4″. Could you guys elaborate a bit on that? Also, though “larger is always better”, what is a bit enough size for photoediting in Photoshop? A5 is enough? Or an A4 is REALLY needed?
Thanks in advance!!
Great show. How about showing the best way to composite star trails.
Another great show. Would love to win Scott’s new book…
Smart tips from each of the photoshop guys and a phenomenal tip from joel (blurring the layer mask) it was something new to me.
great tips guys .
Cheers.
Great tip from Joel. Thanks guys
How do you enter the contest?
Nice show – great Tip on shortcut.
Very up to the minute show, guys!
Corey, what’s up with your”Repousse” tips?
A minute comment for a minute show.
Pete, you got off to a rough start, but it seems you are coming into your own. Much, much better camera presence. I do wish you would take the time to walk us more through your process instead of just presenting the end results. However, nice job. It looks like you are starting to blend with the crew nicely. I am sure being in front of the camera is harder than it looks.
Thanks guys
Great tips as always:)
Loved Joel’s tip. so it appeared that he didn’t change anything in refine mask. was there defaults values that he changed before or everything zeroed out?
And of course. Would love Scotts new book.
Wonderful tutorial about cropping. Could you address dodging and burning in photoshop.
great tips…thanks!!
Great show guys!
Good job Pete..thanks Cory and RC.
good job ! love for you to send me that book .Ill be waiting . ; )
Cool tips – thanks for the great show!
Loved the show – nice job Pete!
Minutely gigantic show….
Good job Pete of running the show!
Keep those tips coming guys!
I love the cropping tip, I can’t tell you how many times I have overlooked the hide option.
Thanks for a great show!
Great minute show or minute show not sure which one, it was more like 28 minutes.
Great show. Learned lots as always.
The Joel Grimes segment was very nice. I would like to see more segments about refiine selections.
Thanks
Liked the show. I have noticed lately kelbytv.com podcasts audio and video are out of sync. I guess you are not using FCPX with the magnetic timeline.
Great technique from Joel!
