Welcome back. I do restoration and retouching and I would like to see some ideas on matching the color of the old photo in the retouched photo.
Great episode. I would like to see some more ideas for text effects. Can’t get enough of those.
Another great show gents. Always love what you guys come up with. I’d be interested in seeing if there’s any new techniques on removing noise / artifacts from images.
Also, looking forward to reading Cory’s book soon.
Thanks for the great tips and tutorials this week.
Great show guys, I use curves without really knowing how to use it and how it will affect my images, I would like to know more about setting points how to move the curve to add contrast, brighten, darken images, thanks.
Hello!
I love your show! Could you perhaps show how to apply inside photoshop the light and fire to a candle that is not on fire in real life? I would like to use this on photos of babies and animals near candle, but then I do not dare to put the candle on fire for real, so I would like to apply the fire later on, inside photoshop, and make it look realistic. 
Cool episode! I’ll try a new background. Why is it that when Scott is out the show is shorter? Hmmm
Great episode!
I didn’t really understand how to do the path background.. But it looked nice! 
Great show today. Would like more tips on how to use Photoshop and Elements together. Also, what is the best was to see a schedule of the shows on kelbytv?
Great show guys! Thanks!
Great show.
Would love to know how to make pavement look wet. I know about using water but how by using Photoshop?
Great show! I look forward to seeing each episode each week. I have learned tons form watching you guys!
Great show, as usual!
Great show, Thanks.
LOVE the design ideas. Pete’s tutorial will require me listening a few more times though.. feeling a little dense right now. THANKS GUYS!
Katie
Love your show. Could use some help on extracting an object or person and placing in onto another photo.
Great stuff, one question for Pete. Could you use Smart Objects in place of the scrubby slider in transform? Same results??
Great show as always,
Very informative.
I enjoyed Layers TV and miss the comprehensive coverage. Could you do more tips and tutorial on integrating photoshop with illustrator, indesign, and dreamweaver.
This has nothing to do with the current episode, but I ask the question non the less.
Why would anyone use the Difference, Exclusion, Subtract or Divide blend modes?
Very useful tutorials, you guys are the best. I been following you guys for about 3 months and i really enjoy it . Corey,Dave your guys are the best thanks again for such a wonderful work and keep it up. I also would like to se more tutorials about text effects and layer styles, also how to mask with channels. How often there’s a show? is it a week or every month? Also i would not mind if a win one of those prices. thank you and God bless.
I would like to see some additional tips or tutorials on sizing of banners, signs, etc. describing what resolution (DPI) to use and the border area that is safe for printing.
Thanks for the tip on seamless backgrounds.
i am trying to make a photo of a friends new barn look like a old photo. I have a texture that works, am having trouble making it appear to have creases, scratches and small tears. Any ideas?
For those of us using CS5 Extended can you please do some tutorials with the animation timeline using 3D type and shapes.
I would like to see more on printing profiles and implementing them . ffm
I subscribed to the videocast for a long time and have numerous episodes downloaded but for some reason I never found the time to watch it, I finally managed to watch the latest show, found it very informative and good humored. I think this upcoming weekend since I have no major plans it might be a Photshop Users TV marathon going on my laptop or tablet. Cheers. Can’t wait to learn more tips and tricks.
Can we see more on making selections of items to put into backgrounds
Hi, thanks for the tips. I like the look in some of these catalogs like Urban Outfitters or Free the People and sometimes Nordstrums. It is some kind of cross processing technique. It also has a grainy look especially on some interiors. I was wondering if you had your own take on the process. Now, using this vague description, what do you think?
I’ve never been to Photoshop World, but I think you guys have talked me in it.
Enjoyed the tip on bringing the larger image onto the smaller background. Would love to see more about making that image look better with more depth and a realistic feeling.
Corey’s refine edges tip may prove to be useful someday. Like the seeds this show plants to help solve future retouching issues.

Always enjoy the shows, thanks guys!
great need more tips
Im recently new to your channel, You guys are very helpful to editing. i wanted to know how to make a picture very clear.
thanks Dave, for showing your way to create the background pattern
Pete… love ya man.. but you need to put your thoughts together a bit better before recording…. all over the map my friend…
Thanks for another very useful episode..
thanks
Enjoy your show!
Would like info on skin smoothing/processing on older (70′s, etc.) people especially women.
Nice show, would you do a tutorial using ps cs5 extended removing a blemish on brides face in the video ?
You guys are great! Wouldn’t mind seeing more on layer use, retouching to make photos better, color adjusting and anything else that you can think of that would be good for pros and amateurs to make the pictures pop but not look overly modified. If that doesn’t work for you anything you feel like playing with would be great!!
Great show guys
Thanks for another great show – very informative!
good tutorial
You guys continue to amaze me with all the awesome and FREE content you guys bring. I am so grateful for what you guys do!
Thanks guys, love the tips and tuts!
as always great show
I always watch your show guys. I would like to see if anyone of you can make “Neon light effect”. I have seen different tutorials but it dosent look professional or that good, the way neon light should look. I have tried to make it, but it looks kind of dull.
hope anyone of you will work on it & present it in your next show.
This was a really good episode.
Nice show, thanks!
Normally I leave longer comments related to the episode but I’m not sure if they get read with so many other comments. So this week I’ll just say hi.
Hi!
Great show, would like to see some more creative brush tutorials.
Hey Guys! Great show. I was wondering if you could show more about retouching photographs, and some tips on doing so.
Thanks
Martin J.
Nice episode guys. LOVE Cory’s Eagle/Hawk shirt!
Great Show as always
How do you keep a transparnet backround when transfering from PSD to JPG
hallo Rich,make it a png file.
Loved it! Impatiently awaiting episode 292.
As always a very interesting range of features…. thank you!
Greatest Photoshop show in cyberspace!
Good work with tutorials.
Good stuff -
Thank you, Corey, for that very useful tip. I got lost in Pete’s tutorial regarding the dots but I have not used the path tool thus it is not his fault. I liked Dave’s seamless approach though it would obviously take a great deal more work to make a background seamless. The great thing about video is that one can always watch it over and over until it sinks into the dense gray matter in one’s head encumbered with years [eons?] of fragmented and often outdated data .
Good Show!
How about some tips on using LR4 beta?
That was much..much….much better without Kelby slooooowing the programme down.
Well done guys.
Great show guys
one of the better recent shows.
Great show. Love the tip for bringing in larger objects and beig able to scale it down.
I would like an understandable definition of an alpha channel, and what purpose does it fill. Always enjoy the show.
Thanks for your show on patterns. Would like to see if clone stamp can be used in detailed areas and how. Still haven’t won a prize. Loyal viewer

I loved the show today, although I found Pete’s segment a little hard to follow, since I have no background in design!
I would love for you to show how to reinstate the Automate – Picture package. I have tried everything suggested online and nothing has worked so far. I really miss this! Thanks, guys!
your tips are always very helpful
Some cool tips guys, thanks!
Can you show me how to make seamless reflective backdrop
Can you show me convert a color photo into an infrared photo?

Great show guys,please play with filters in the next episode
Thanks for the show. I always learn something new or have something reinforced that I might otherwise forget.
Could you do something on using luminosity with either the brush tool or the clone tool? It has helped me match cloned areas but I could use some help with this.
thank you.
I recently subscribed to this feed in iTunes. I love it! Great job and thank you for sharing the information!
Love the show. Could you guys explain channels and how to use them to make selections? Thank you. Chris
