Great multi -tipped episode!
I liked Petes tip on seamless tiling.
Great show as always.
Trying to download this episode, very slow. I’ve noticed the last few episodes were very slow to download.
What I like about the show….. hmm… the humor definitely. Especially when Scott is on the show.
Great guest. Thanks
yeah
Hey guys, Great show today, I was wondering if Pete could be able to explain HOW he turned the baseball and soccer ball into brushes….I do a ton of sports compositing and that would be nice to use….thanks
great tips see you again real soon
Thank you, guys!
Keep the tips coming
GREAT TIP PETE!
I would like to see something on a pattern that is
like brick or fabric that don’t have white space between to take it further on making patterns.
Love the show and look forward to every episode. Please enter me in this week’s contest. Thanks guys!
My favorite part of the show is the contest part! Where I get all excited, go over to kelbytv.com/photoshopusertv and leave a comment in hopes of winning something I could really use! All the while knowing that deep down I will never win, no matter how much photoshopusertv you watch the real prize is all of the useful tips.
Great show as always. Anyway you can post the dates and times for the week long retouching webcasts on the NAPP home page?

Loved the tip on raw — this was a good show in that it was balanced between photography-centric and designer-centric.
Love these tips!
Really good tips this week. As well as the heads up on the exclamation point meaning in RAW. Thanks.
Another great episode…. Thanks loads…
Awesome episode guys! Thanks.
Great show guys!…and awesome tutorial Pete…things that I didn’t know about patterns…
Great show.
Love the pattern tutorial!
Thanks guys! Another fun episode. Loved the tiling tip. Is it me or Pete was “calmer” than usual? Maybe they figure out that half prozac before the show was a good idea for Pete.
Great tips Pete!!
I find all the shows really informative and inspiring and this week I enjoyed the bonus of Michael Fineman’s tip and magic trick!
Where did everybody go? Good show.
what can I say? You guys hit it out of the ball park again with a great show.
Wow Pete! Very impressive Tutorial on the seamless patterns. Thanks!
I loved the magic! We need more card tricks.
Great show! The tips that you two guys had were excellent. Like that book but if you choose me keep going, don’t need two in the library. See ya soon!
God show, especially liked Pete’s tip on patterns.
Great tips as always, thanks for producing great episodes, Thank you once again.
WOW Pete’s tips are getting so very cool & thanks RC for explaining the RAW ! tip.
Thanks Pete! I had no idea about the offset filter and it’s use for making seamless tiles!
I would love to see more on diagonal tiles.
Thanks!
Mike
Love the show Thanks guys!
Please, Please, Please.
Set your display of laptops for recording according to the video resolution. As the menu and dialogs are not visible even in HD.
Great show!!
Those metal tips were great!!!
Interesting!
Great show guys!
All good tips! Metal can be soooo hard to work on. This will help.
great tutorial about seamless pattern creation.
I am going to try offset filter. Never figured out how to use it.
I love your show! Often can hardly wait to get to work to try something out. This time, it is the nested smart objects. thanks.
BRILLIANT!
I just watched episode 286. I had been watching even before Pete Collins came on board. Matt, Dave, and Corey is always worth the time. Pete needs more guts-substance in his tutorial. My time spent watching is like worth 75%-3 out of four has substance. If this was a test, a 75% is like a c grade-passing, but not satisfactory.
RC is good too.
Retouching is really my favoriet! Sssuper if there come more retouching tips. The book is propably amazing
!!
Dude, this is wonderful content.
