You may be a king,
Or a little street sweeper,
But sooner or later,
You’ll need a smart filter.
Thanks for yet another great show.iI would love those books.
After seeing the movie “Savages”, i don’t think I’m ready for R.C.s mom and the heavy metal. Chill out Mamasita. So HOW does one know WHAT TIME the live show is? It’s not like I can sit around looking at a blank screen hoping it will go live on me.
Corey is just too amazing…….
I LOVE Corey’s effects!! Keep ‘em coming!
Great tips and lots of fun.

Great show as always. Cory’s tutorial gave me some great idea for experimentation. All of them were good though. Love the Mother of Machete poster. That was funny but a cool looking poster too.
Great show, appreciated the tip on using the healing brush, I often get weird results, I will have to persist and keep on trying, thanks.
Good show. RC what does your mom think of the gun shots and did you let shoot any?
Don

Nice tip on spot healing tool. Didn’t realize the results would change with repeated attempts.
Even though I don’t have access to newest Photoshop after being laid off, I love it when I can find a segment that I can use with CS3. I really appreciate the show.
Thanks, Lyn
Love the show. And Rc’s mom!!!
Looking forward to machine gun mama!

Great show. Lived the Jazz Player poster and … RC’s mum!! Genius.
Great show. Just installed lightroom 4 so that book would be great to have

RC is in soooooooo much trouble with his Mom.
Mother of All Tutorial Episodes! Cool stuff guys!

Great episode. RC’s tutorial was excellent.
Awesome! You guys live the life of the dream of Plato!
Great fun show. We have some similar photos of my mom posing with some guns,and your final image makes me want to do a similar treatment. Your mom is such a trooper!
Love the gradient tip!
Hi RC!
I’m enjoying HDR Efex Pro 2 that I bought the other week thanks to you, but now I am wondering how I can make a HDR panorama – the tool doesn’t do batch processing? Should I stitch together the frames first separately before doing HDR; or first do HDR and then stitch?
Thanks,
Martin
Awesome show.. Long time viewer first time commentor.
Great show guys! RC, your mom’s pictures were were cool.
Great show, guys!
I always get inspired by this show – thanks so much!
really cool show! I love it!
Great show. I like seeing the creative “side stuff” they do like the “Mother of Machete”. It got me thinking if I could do something like that, and then make me think it could be cool to give some “homework” on a creative idea. Maybe you could provide a few pics/graphics and then the next episode (after we struggle through it at home) you could whip it out and show how you guys would do it.
Great show. Would love some tips on the lens correction filter.
Looking forward to reading Picture Perfect Practice
Regards,
Good show, the pictures of RC ‘s mother are good and Corey works is super thank you guys.
Less talk and more fun.
Could you tell me where I can see tutorial about Flash?
Thank you!!
