I appreciate the work that you put into your blog, I have it on google reader, so I read often. I enjoy the photoshop tutorials that you post, although I am past the beginner stage of learning it, I am by no means a natural yet. So many of the tutorials on other blogs are over my head, and are often overwhelming. Your tutorials are straight forward and presented clearly. So, thank you and I will continue to watch for more.

I enjoy your tips.
I have a tip for everyone relating to this Photoshop tip #9. I never use the straight line lasso tool because it’s A) a pain in the neck, and B) not necessary. If you select the curved line lasso tool then hold down ALT on Windows (not sure of the equivalent on Mac) when you begin, it will draw curved lines when the ALT key is depressed and straight lines when the ALT key is not depressed… all within the same sequence!
Another useful tip: To draw a straight line, hold down SHIFT on Windows first then just click endpoints of the line you want. This works with almost every tool!

Niki,
I admire your ability to create flawless video tutorials. I myself, currently have not played around with the “video” aspect of blogging (but wish to soon).
Your tutorials are always very well planned out, and you provide great step-by-step demo’s for anyone to follow. This is important - some people just cannot follow along with other Tut’s, but yours are 110% excellent and fun.
I look forward to some more Tutorial Video’s.

Niki-
I think you should do a tutorial on the Select Same functions in Illustrator… so simple, but it changed my life when I was introduced to it!

Nice clear example Nikki - me using Photoshop for a few years but never applied a fill to a selection like that - very cool.
