  6. Robert Martin says:

    Great show guys, looking forward to the new season already.

  7. derek roe says:

    Rc was hilarious, Pete as usual was too long ,grin>

  8. Stephen Ehrlich says:

    You guys are awesome. If Pete is not back next season, then I know you guys were not kidding. It will be a long 4 weeks. But I will wait patiently for more great tips (and humor) next season.

  9. Samuel Matos says:

    Gentlemen, I must agree with Mr. Kelby. RC’s tip was way too long. He did however teach me something new as he always does. You guys are incredibly funny, knowledgeable, and always impeccably dressed. So there! Did I win the prizes???

  10. PD Taylor says:

    Have a good break ande get some rest!

  11. Jen says:

    Loved the adjustment layer tip! And yes RC was long =P

  12. Mitch Paull says:

    good show but stop picking on RC.

  13. Thomas Hucksoll says:

    Enjoyed the show! RC speaks so long, but always has great things to say.

  14. horace cheung says:

    Kelby gave out the best tutorial

  15. Daniel says:

    Thanks for a great episode. I liked RC’s tip, even tho it wasn’t a quick tip.

  16. Steve Jones says:

    Long or not, I liked RC tip, thanks dude.

  17. Andrei says:

    Can’t wait next season. Thanks guys for the show!

  18. takeshi says:

    Cannot wait to see you guys again.

  19. Ivan Nicolau says:

    Hey Cory. Just to add on to your tut about isolating adjustment layers. For users who aren’t good at remembering keyboard shortcuts, you can also isolate the adj layer by clicking the third button over in the row of small buttons at the bottom of the adjustment layer panel. Just a quick tip to add on to your quick tip. :)

  20. Swapping heads was the best tutorial so far ;-)

    Books from Scott and Matt … always in!!

    I hope Pete is back in 4 weeks hehehehe

  21. Maoz says:

    Great show :) I just love RC is the best!

  22. Troy says:

    Hey, thanks guys! Been getting back into photoshop after a 4 year hiatus and been regularly watching your shows to help get my proverbial groove back.

    And, so I have a chance of winning, Pete is HI-larious and RC was long. Right?

    Thanks again!

  23. Joshua Pierson says:

    Ah, just when I wanted to defend RC from you cruel, cruel Photoshop guys… Angry Birds! Blend in a little profundity, and the dulcet tones of Pete Collins and I should be able to make it the long 4 weeks until we see you guys again. Thanks for the season… looking forward to the donkey.

  24. Don Evan says:

    You guys are doing a good job with your tutorials. Keep up the good work!

  25. Michael Thurman says:

    Hey guys!

    I enjoyed ep284, especially RC’s tut on droplets and Scott’s composite alignment tip.

    Party on!

    Michael

  26. Kevin Cowans says:

    Hello all

    I love the way you all gel and the humour you add to the learning experience.

    I have just started to use PS CS5 and am finding your tutorials very helpful and informative.

    One problem I do have though is that when you do a tutorial and the PS window is displayed, the Icons, Menu Items etc. are very hard to distinguish making following the tutorials etc. very difficult.

    Is there any chance that you will be producing your shows in HD in the future so that it will be much easier to read the Menus etc.?

    Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.

    Kevin

  27. Erik Schou says:

    Nice program, i woth love to have that price, do you know where denmark is?

  28. Tom Witt says:

    RC has the best tutorial on the show. The rest of you guys should take a lesson from him.

  29. Love to win that compositing book and tripod! Already have a signed copy of Scott’s book :)

    Very handy tips from pete,corey and scott .RC you put watermark on the image but you did not put any of your signatures there.There are another ways to put info but automation but why specifically digramic?
    Btw seeing you guys and after getting inspired I will join NAPP in a day or 2 :)

  53. Shaun S. says:

    RC, thanks for your droplet tip. I make actions all the time but didn’t know that I could make them droplets.

  54. Jay Bachmayer says:

    Thanks for the droplet tip

  55. Chuck Sider says:

    Great tips.

  56. Nick Y. says:

    RC’s tutorial, while a little long, was pretty useful.

  57. David says:

    Would love to win a pair of books and possibly a iPhone tripod from the last show of the season. =)

  58. Bill Clothier says:

    love the show

  59. Keith Allen says:

    Way to keep it pithy RC!

    great show and funny!

  61. Joshua says:

    LOVE IT!!!
    i have done something like that before where u swap heads with an animal i put my head on a turtle it was fun…

  62. Pargev Kocharyan says:

    Great season. Very usefull tutorials

  63. Miguel says:

    Hello guys!
    Nice work keep it up

  64. Freddy Clark says:

    Great show this week. I really enjoyed Scott’s tip with the globe.

  65. Miriam Rosenthal says:

    Upgrade? Loved Pete’s tip. Simple, to the point, funny.

  66. Andrew Macpherson says:

    Great tip RC, thanks!

  67. Ole Kristian says:

    Very good show! I think the time used on RC’s tutorial was well worth it, also I had forgotten the thing about the adjustment layers.

    Looking forward to more good photoshop tips next season. :)

  68. Shaun white says:

    Great show guys, even that Pete’s tip may not be a tip it was very cool. Thanks to RC for the very cool tip, long tip but very cool tip. At least RC can go to flickr to get a hug

  69. Danylo Samiylenko says:

    waiting for next season :) You guys awesome. I learn a lot with all of you.

    Let me know if I win ;)

    Дякую за шоу!

  70. Kevin McGrath says:

    great show

  71. Awesome episode! Give RC a break, he was being very thorough.

  72. Johnny Dao says:

    Great show! I never thought about taking two photos one focusing closest to the camera and the other focusing further away. Then PS the two to keep both subjects in focus in one frame. I’ll have to try that on my next shoot. Thanks Scott!

  73. Brad Coryell says:

    Pete is a still a great addition to the team. I was alittle disappointed Cory and Scott dropped the ball on using RC in their tutorials.

  74. jm says:

    cool stuff…

  75. Scot Diamond says:

    I love Pete’s virtually subliminal pedagogical technique. It appeared on the surface that there was absolutely no instruction in his tip but he did make a passing mention to dodging and burning, which I gather is the key to matching the head with the rest of the photo. Thanks for a great season.

  76. diko p says:

    great show guys :D

  77. Greg says:

    Thanks for the great season.

  78. Sam says:

    Absolutely brilliant tutorial from RC. Can’t wait to try that one out, I’ve been looking to do something similar for a while.

  79. jay briggs says:

    You guys are great. Great humor. lads.
    I am brand new to digital photography and want to learn PS…do I need to use Light-room also?

    Where to start with Photoshop? What issue?

    What camera to get. (prefer Nikon’s)

    I’m shooting film with a Nikon F-3
    Thanks Jay

    Thanks Jay

  80. Daniel says:

  82. Cheryl says:

    I was referred to you from my daughter. Love the tips.

  83. Jun says:

    I love Photoshop!

  84. eli greengart says:

    what is the correct spelling of frog pus?

  85. viki says:

    great and funny show as usual, ill miss u guys, see u in a month

  86. Doug E. says:

    RC… The droplet tutorial was awesome!

    Corey… You moved me man!

    Pete, why did you address Mr. Kelby in the improper Thai phonetic ‘ka’ which is used for women rather than ‘krup’ the proper phonetic for a man… Oh, a subtle Thai burn . (shhh, secret’s safe with me).

    Scott, you are the Man!

    Season rocked, see you in 4.

    Take care!

    Doug

    ps. Have both books, they Rock!

  87. Roman says:

  88. Nelson Clark says:

    See you guys next season, will keep following you on G+

  89. Paul Driver says:

    WOW! RC is long-winded. It’s a good thing he’s so sexy! ;-)

  90. Chris Alley says:

    No matter what Scott says, RC has the best tutorials.

  91. Love your show and I follow all you guys on Google+. Keep it up!

  92. Muy bien señores. Another season has ended and I’ve already missed you guys and your crazy (locos) tips.

    Asta la vista and have a nice rest.

    Mauro Goulart – Florianopolis – Brazil

  94. David Kelly says:
