    I am writing this rather boisterously! Great show. It is nice to see all of you guys back! If I don’t win Corey’s book, I am certainly going to buy it. If I don’t win just so you can boost sales, if you let me win I will buy someone’s else’s book.

    Thanks for the ‘quick’ tips.

  33. Mike Dabold says:

    This episode SUCKED!

    Now that I have your attention! Just want to say that some times your quick tutorials have a very boisterous message to send!

    Thanks!
    Mike

    Corey’s Book looks awesome. Could probably quickly make some quick effects quickly.

  36. Chris Richichi says:

    Another great episode guys, keep up the good work. I have 2 tips for you guys…
    1} Add a female guest occasionally
    2) Would love to see a way to view past tips with a table of contents. Like a history folder…
    Anyway thats my 2 cents & keep up the good work.
    Chris
    PS; it’s nice to see the new guy getting comfotrtable in his new surroundings but what’s his name ????? lol :)

  37. Luke Diep says:

    Great shows Photshop guys! I can see why Pete doesn’t want to give it up…one day hopefully I can get a chance to play with one as well.

    Take the C from Pete.

    Why did you have to show it, i have been dodging it all month, but it looks like I have to get one….;-)

  49. Lindsay says:

    Love the “quick” tips-makes for a great variety.

  52. fritz meyer says:

    Great show guys, as always. ffm

  53. Love Coreys tip with the carbon fiber, I use the same pattern all the time and now I have a new use for it.

    -BA

    Also congrats on the new book!!

  54. Gary Kalosky says:

    Corey, the new author, had the best tip this week. And poor Pete is so sad to be giving up his Cintiq.

  55. Chris Alley says:

    All I want for Christmas is Corey’s new book!

  56. John Ballard says:

    Good to see all four guys. Tips were quick today

  57. Paul R. says:

    A quick and boisterous great show! Congrats Corey on your new and first book.

  58. Evan Rasmussen says:

    Matt’s tutorial will hopefully close the loop in a problem I’ve had with selections. I only got as far as that first selection in his book and then said “that Matt is full of #$@%, this doesn’t work like he says”. I’ll try it again

  59. hmmmmmmm

    Pete, WE ARE envy :-)

    Corey, c’mon, Cars 2 is great, not as good as Cars “1″, but still hehehehe

    Great selections tip!!

    BTW, just got a tablet, I wonder if you guys could give more tips on how to tweak it to get even better results!!! And new tablet makes Corey’s book even more attractive! Count me in! :-)

  60. Pat Fogleson says:

    welcome back Matt and Dave where is Scott????

  61. Shaun S. says:

    Congrats Corey!

  62. Frank Effrece says:

    Good see you guys back.

  63. Dwayne says:

    Great show… can’t wait to go through Corey’s new book… Congrats Corey!

  64. Andrew Langley says:

    Corey’s first book?! Woohoo… congrats, man. I’ll bet it’s a good one.

  65. Hi guys,

    You’ve got me really interested in the Cory’s book! I hope I will win it

    Thanks for a great show!

  66. Vicki Ardoin says:

    I liked the tips this week and have used Pete’s tip, then applied filters, such as polar coordinates, to distort the image even more. Would very much like to have Corey’s book to add to my collection (any chance you’ll be giving away the Cintiq?). Great show!

  67. Jay Bachmayer says:

    Boisterous good show

  68. Chuck Sider says:

    Good tips.

  69. Great episode guys.

    Congrats on the book Cory! Never really thought about how much design goes into being a photographer- I’m gonna have to pick up a copy.

  70. John Swarce says:

    Hey, Dave’s back! :) Good to see 2/3 of the original team back on the air.

    Great tutorial by Corey. His book looks amazing.

    –John

  71. Josh N. says:

    I don’t have any show ideas but….. if i had a copy of Corey’s book I might have a few!

  72. I missed you. This book sounds perfect for a x-mas gift (for myself) XD

  73. Jere K. says:

    Hi,

    I just wondered have you ever thought of making an episode where all the Photoshop Guys at the studio at that time, would collaborate and do different things on the same image? Or even expand it over few episodes.

    It would be cool to see something to be made up from the scratch.

    Anyvawys thanks for the great show!

  74. I missed you.

    Corey’s book will be the perfect x-mas gift… for myself XD

  75. hakim says:

  76. takeshi i, says:

    Great show. I am very excited about Corey’s book. Congratulations!

  77. Eric Davis says:

    That Wacom Cintiq is awesome! How about offering that for a prize. Thanks for the great tutorials.

  78. Tom says:

    great show guy

  79. Ali says:

    Loved the show! Corey had a really fun tutorial. The only issue I have with smart objects is that it slows down my computer tremendously! Any suggestions as to how to get around this?

    Thanks again!

  80. Dennis Zito says:

    Congratulations Corey on the new book! One question, do you have to have Adobe Illustrator to do these designs?

    Great show guys!

    Dennis

  81. June says:

    Good to see Dave and Matt back and I look forward to getting / winning Corey’s book!
