Pick this comment at random!
Thanks for the tip RC, I have never heard of a Radiance file as I just started shooting for HDR and tried your tip, cool it works, and when I drag the file to Photomatix it opens as an unprocessed HDR file that I can then tonemap, thanks again, you guys are great
Why don you guys make an Illustrator program show as well?…Did I win!?
Welcome back guys, I trust you all had fun playing MW3 !
Roses are red violets are blue enjoyed the talk and the tips too. Alright s o it isn’t a sonnet.
Thank you guys! Always fun to watch!
I just started a new site, would like to test the Sitegrinder software
Great show, U guys rocks, but Joeys tip was the best,,,sorry
Nice Show
Well guys…. I missed this show… Thanks God it’s new season again…
“Stop Reading This!” haha I always love your wall signs and stickers. Great work.
Great tips everyone!!!
Season Premier! Yay!
Welcome back (good for us).
Nice tips! Specially RC’s on the “raw HDR” files! I’m gonna trying it right now!
Rubber windows make great rainbows.
I watched Episode 285. I followed RC when he used the photoshop feature”merge to HDR”. If I understand, he seems to think photoshop preforms the initial task of alligning and degosting better or faster than other third party HDR programs. He therefore uses the “merge to HDR” photoshop feature first, and then saves the output file, and brings it up later in “photomatrix” , or other HDR programs. I got lost when I tried to save the image as RC suggest as a “radiant file”. I cannot find “radiant” file in the dropdown options.
Welcome back, guys, I really missed the show. Reruns are cool but new stuff is always refreshing.
I’ve been “jonesen” for a new episode. Thanks for the tips.
You’re back at last!
I am glad you are back keep it up….
Pete, can you decrease the screen resolution that you are capturing? When it get’s compressed for video, I can’t read any of the menus or toolbars that you are selecting for your tips.
This is my 1 year anniversary of subscribing to Kelby Training, i have to do this monthly because i didnt have the money to join NAPP for the full year but as you can see i never missed my month. Im not an expert yet but at least I can keep up with Corey when he moves the cursor all over the place on his tutorials..motion sickness..you guy’s ROCK.THX
You guys rock! AND I REALLY WANT SITEGRINDER!
Haiku.
I used to work in a blanket factory, but it folded.
Love the hue correction brush!
Cory – has your right leg got ‘Parkinsons’ it seems to have a life of its own. (A bit distracting)
Great show as usual!
Love the retouching tip – thanks!
Great Show as always
Website design help is good
Pick me over them

Great Joey’s Photoshop tip, just what I need to fix red skin.
Great story Joey. Love your work
Good show this week, Guys.
Joey Wright’s tips are awesome.
This was one of the better shows evidenced by the fact that I plan to re-view to ensure I have the tips down pat. Consider making Joey Wright a regular.
Thanks to all of you
Has there been a change in the format of the Photoshop User TV podcast recently? I have not been able to view the last few episodes on a 3rd generation iPod Nano. I would appreciate you resolving this as this is my primary viewer during commutes (small though it is).
Sorry to post this here, but feedback on kelbytv.com is not working – captcha is never accepted.
Never miss your show!
Good show.
Once again great show. Glad to see you back on the air. I was going into PhotoshopUser TV withdrawls. To get my fix I watched 15 hours of non-stop Barney (the Purple Dinosaur).
Just kidding.. glad to have you back.
Cool to have you guys back.
hey Corey, how often do you repousse?LOL
Glad you’re back! I really enjoyed all of the tips this time & I think that may be a first! So, with that in mind, I should win the software! Right?! Makes sense to me… anyway, thanks for the show. See you next week.

We all know that you don’t give a shit about this show any more. Low content, weak tutorials. Sorry guys, I am very disappointed for some time now.
Hi Guys, finding it hard to follow as picture quality seems to have diminished. Can any one actually follow RC’s PS panel interactions?
Please bring back your general great quality.
Thanks,
Michael
