  18. mark larkin says:

    I’m working on a neat project- turning a portrait into a cartoon using the photocopy filter to make a drawing then liquify, duplicating it, painting one then use the blend sliders to bring back the lines, etc,etc,etc…cheers

  19. Randy says:

    Good show. I downloaded the Perfect Effects Suite Light. Very nice stuff. Are there any more effect libs out there that you recommend ? The free-er the better ;)

  20. RON says:

    VERY HELPFUL INFO!

    Just think if Pete had the 24HD he would leave and return each day with it and two armed guards.

    Love the show!

  23. Mike D says:

    Great Show Guys!!

  24. Joseph says:

    Nice tip on the leaves. Not only is it good for leaves, but teaches a lot about using (and demystifying) the brushes palate in general. Thanks Corey!

  25. todd edwards says:

    I do not have an ipad but I can not see why you would use one to flag photos when you can use lightroom

  26. PD Taylor says:

    Great prizes,. Also, great show…thanks!

  27. Pat says:

    Rating and flagging on iPad? Not me.

  28. John B. says:

    Great stuff, guys!

  29. Scott says:

    Great episode guys

  30. Robert Norris says:

    Going for the win!

  34. Robert Martinez says:

    Great episode guys, like always! Pete your article this week on the NAPP member site was truly inspirational. Just as you explained in the article the back story is the key that goes exponentially increases the worth. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing that with us. Also that On One software looks pretty good (fingers crossed).

  35. Gaston Enria says:

    Very helpful tips! Nice show guys

  36. Marko Luoto says:

    Thanks for the show, especially the brush engine one!

  37. CR Douglas says:

    Love the show, guys! Been spending more time in Photoshop these days and these are great tips!
    Thanks!

  38. Jesper Mathiesen says:

    Great as always… :-)

  39. Mike Wootton says:

    Thanks for the offer, Guys, but I’m a bit old to be taken round Legoland by Pete so please only put my name in the draw for the super book and software bundle!
    Great show as always – Thanks!

  40. Very cool stuff!
    Thanks guys!

  41. David Groene says:

    Love the brush tips!

  42. Wayne Christensen says:

    Great job guys. You never fail to impress us with your knowlwdge.

  43. Arild Myhre says:

    Like the tutorials that tak step by step and end up with a solution I may use on my photos

  44. Patrick says:

    Is it only me, or is there an audio level problem with all the streaming on kelbyyv and NAPP website? The ads and the title volume is 8 to 13dB lower than the rest of the show…

  45. Gary Haley says:

    Enjoyed the show as always. I tried the iPad app “Photosmith” to sync with Lightroom to rate and add metadata while on the road ad leaving the computer at home. The problem I had was it appeared the iPad renamed the files on import so I could not sync up wit the actual filenames on the card. The newest version shows correct names on the iPad so I will have to try the process again. I would very much like the ability to rate and add metedata while it is fresh in my head.

  46. ana says:

    Great tutorial. Very professional. Keep up the good work!

  47. Rich Stopa says:

    Great show keep it up

  56. Brian says:

    corey’s book would be cool

  57. Arnt says:

    Great brush tips Corey!

  58. Gerardo Palermo says:

    Great show! I never mess with the brush panel because I always end up with… well, a mess but I will try what Corey taught us. I didn’t know you could rate your photos on the ipad… coolio

  59. Ken Toney says:

    Awesome tips guys! Glad everyone is happy :)

  60. Dick Dougall says:

    Good job guys. Some points are glazed over rather quickly – but since I download each episode, I can easily play back until lost point is clarified.

    Perfect Photo Suite 6

  85. Dan Perry says:

    Greate show.

  86. Michael says:
