[vman0rrmc]

@photoshopmama: i'm a little dismayed with you for even addressing ignorance in that matter( thegraphxbyashanti). Your actions are superb and a life saver....keep up the good work....i love ya......by the way how's that grandkid of yours ....growing by leaps and bounds I gather

[photoshopmama]

It is a waste of my time...but sometimes I just have to hit back...but I do know their comments are based on ignorance and that they are not professionals.

[jyperk1951]

Wow - I can't believe anyone would attack you like that Photoshopmama! I love your tutorials and they have helped me so many times! You are very professional and I think thegraphxbyashanti is jealous and obviously very unprofessional by the comments on here....

Keep up the great work you do!

[photoshopmama]

Thank you!

[emodinnosaur]

It just looks fakey

[quitusbcn]

never, ever, use Gaussian Blur "over" skin.

[TheGraphxbyAshanti]

This very unprofessional, I have never seen the top retouchers in the world use actions to make good skin. T

[photoshopmama]

@TheGraphxbyAshant Wow--so opinionated for being so young-- I've been in the business since 1998...and in my years of experience and exposure, have found that it truly is mostly the professionals that use actions and other plug ins to enhance their images.

[TheGraphxbyAshanti]

@photoshopmama You have been in the business for so long & it has gotten you no where but making long lame youtube video's. Your actions are horrible & they look very blury.

[photoshopmama]

@TheGraphxbyAshanti You have no basis for that particular opinion as you have never tried my actions. And I wouldn't say I've gotten no where. I have helped thousands with my tutorials and I won the 2009 Professional Photographer Magazine cover contest using my actions and in the 2010 Professional Photographer Magazine contest, the 3rd place winner also touted use of my actions in producing her winning image.

[ViciousBumble]

@photoshopmama I feel bad for you. It's just sad to watch a trainwreck like this video. Know what's even sadder? The fact that you have to lie to people about your so-called booming business and your "awards". And you know what's even sadder than that? That photoshop is probably one of the easiest photo editing softwares out there, and you still can't do it right. But whatever. Obviously you're too busy with other things like making 20 minute videos than using your time to improve yourself. -K

[photoshopmama]

Wow! "ViciousBumble" is such an appropriate name for you! At least you know how you are! I feel "worse" for you my dear!

[ViciousBumble]

@photoshopmama That's fine. I'm mature enough to accept people's opinions.

[charlena2107]

@TheGraphxbyAshanti WOW and if you KNEW anything about photography or photoshop you'll know that top retouchers do use actions , who wants to do the same tedious process over and over again when you can hit play and tweak ...

[photoshopmama]

Exactly! 

[photoshopmama]

Exactly! 

[mrsimpatico88]

i like it

but there is something !

cant see the skin texture !

[Khantikone123]

Good Job! Wouldn't it be nice if we can use Photoshop on our real skin. Everyone will look young and beautiful.

[photoshopmama]

@Khantikone123 Yes that would be lovely but would rather see a cures for all cancers and other deadly or debilitating diseases. I expect Star Trek or Jetson's days in the future which will include hologram clothing or virtual "body shells" so that would probably include a temporary cover up for skin.

[Khantikone123]

@photoshopmama Obviously our health comes first. Now I know those TV commercials for skin care, they uses photoshop to show the before and after photos. Anyone who is not familiar with the software would think their products really works.

[photoshopmama]

@Khantikone123 That is true...they say you can always sell "hope" and that's what most skin products and diet products, do! But sometimes hope or faith, can clear out the mind and actually help the person to cure themselves, the product is basically a placebo.

[photoshopmama]

Wouldn't we all, yes! But this is not a Medical Channel!

[stubsound]

Love your videos, Mama! Two thumbs up! But please take care of the audio quality as well. After all, we need to hear your lovely voice to really learn.

Thanks.

[mangoa2]

thax mom, it was really usefull

keep up :)

[MrAddicted2converse]

Photoshop Mama! I love your videos so much! They are so helpful! Thatnks for every thing 

[photoshopmama]

@MrAddicted2converse Thanks! I love doing it.

[nidzrulz4eva]

Many videos are just fast forwarded procedures of how ppl have photoshopped someone. I don't understand the point in then. Please teach us how to use the liquify and free transform tool to fix or enhance facial features such as a big nose, double chin. I am really interested in knowing how ppl are doing these makeovers but I can't think of learning it from anyone else but you bc of the way you explain things. Thanks a bunch for everything you ve shared

[nidzrulz4eva]

Mama you are my first Photoshop teacher. I have seen your videos so many times and there is always something new I am learning everytime I watch them. Thanks for explaining adjustment layers and your famous black conceals and white reveals mantra lol. Really your instructions are very thorough and precise. I wanted to request you to please do a tutorial on the photoshop facial surgery ppl are doing on YouTube but fail to teach or explain the way you do. Many videos are simply a fast forwarded P

[elliottwalsh]

nice.

[EmmaLilicox]

Thank you so much for all your videos! They are very inspiring. I have learnt so much from watching your videos.

Please keep uploading videos! It's so amazing what you do with your pictures!

@photoshopmama

" I'm receiving rave reviews about this product from customers who have actually purchased it. My Miracle Skins are pretty awesome and easy to use."

Maybe you should try to be less of a sales woman. I think your solution is way too strong, the skin looks too plastic or rubber like. I'm sure that this can be adjusted, but then your self-proclaimed "easy tool" isn't as easy as it should be for beginners.

[zonexll]

People also have to rely on good faith when they buy this product, since there is no trial version, which in itself is understandable since we're dealing with an action, but still... .

Also your solution makes use of an automated mask, which we all know will fail in almost all cases. You only use that as a selling point. The reality is that extensive manual editing of the mask is needed for EVERY image to get the best results, which makes it even less of an "Easy tool" as you claim.

[zonexll]

Why am I posting this? Because I care about Photoshop beginners, I deal with them daily and their lack of Photoshop insight is often abused by people like you who try to make a quick buck out of them.

[photoshopmama]

@zonexll Uh...I think you care more about bashing others efforts to help rather than actually doing anything tangible to help others...hence your closed account.

[ar2009wa]

great

i like this video

thanks alot

[cruizin31]

Shan,

Does this now replace your "mamas powder" action?"

[photoshopmama]

Not at all! It's a competely different formula and application. We still use powder in our studio and sometimes both miracles and powder.

[vandymajor]

I'm getting ready to order your product. I have a question. Is the Miracle Skin included with Pindora's Box?

[parviz202]

hi mama,

I have been watching your videos from very first days that you started posting videos on youtube. I am using PS only for fun and I work in a bank, but then I had a period that I got very busy with my work and I just recently got back to PS. could you please let me know how and where could I get (or purchase) your action packs?

thanks

[stylishvampire]

And how can i do the MS miracle skin action myself?????????????????? Keep up the good work anyway...

[mportillo27]

How is the printing quality? I mean, when you get the prints will it show that it has been worked on?

[photoshopmama]

As with any manipulated image...it's in the hands of the retoucher and adjusted according to what the retoucher sees and how they finesse the effects. What they mask and what they reveal. As with any tool, it's how effectively and/or artistically you use it. But usually, it's a matter of zooming in to 100% and panning the whole image area to make sure it looks ok. Our prints have turned out great.

[photoshopmama]

The video is using CS4 but the Miracle Skins work in CS2 through CS4.

[QueenHilary]

what kind of photoshop is this called?

the CS3 or CS2?

[TimeBreaker1987]

Thanks again, mama shan !

Though I wouldn't buy this because I am a too exact photoshopper today, things are getting way too blurred for, I prefer seeing actual skin with pores and stuff.

It might take longer - which is why this product is a real suggestion for people who are lazy/busy/new to photoshop.

I learned from my mistakes with blurred skin and can remove blemishes without blurring the skin too much so it still looks human and realistic. photoshopped photos in normal magazines are a joke

[dotsona07]

This is handy, thanks

[disneydon07]

ASTONISHING-you continue to be the QUEEN of PS!!!

[shootnaked]

yes all vols are to limit  no biggie just wanted to let you know for future videos

[CAZ3126]

i do understand mama must sell her products..but lately..ive seen little tutorials..but im half blind

[photoshopmama]

Thanks for understanding that I do have to sell products to continue to do tutorials here, too..and I think if you count up all my videos, the products videos are a very small ratio of the over 130 vids I've uploaded.

Last week I uploaded Photoshop Mama's bunch of stuff video over 20 minutes long, did you miss it?

[shootnaked]

another fine video but i cant hear it without earplugs system vol is all the way up

[photoshopmama]

I'm so sorry about that! My mistake, but also the default volume on the youtbe player is set low. Have you tried adjusting that control?

[CraiG10021]

I remember watching your videos since you started doing this on Youtube. ;)

Another great new package and video, Mamashan.

Your sound setting is different, but is very easy to understand!

Craig,

16.

[mimi2ta1]

mama shan ~ Great vid

but the voice is so0o low, i can't hear anything

[photoshopmama]

Must be on your end, turn your system volume up as well as the volume control on the video.

[mimi2ta1]

thanks 4 ur reply ~ i'm listening to ur other vids, they sound good ~ but this one is MUCH lower.

[photoshopmama]

I think you are right, I tried a different sound setting on this one...but I can still hear it fine.

[rhainey17]

agree..the volume is too low

[ResultzMayVary]

Absolutely Beautiful.

One thing I need clarification for is, why the diameter of iris?

[photoshopmama]

Thanks. I'll put a link to the MADIMS pdf in the more info panel on the right. This will answer your question.

[Cornellah]

Thanks mama 4 another great tut. I click 5 stars b4 I even start watching it cuz I know Imma learn at least 5 new tricks about photoshop, I do every time. Thank u.

[photomania99]

can your actions be used on PSE6?

[photoshopmama]

Sorry, no they can't.

[lylix123]

hey! if you hold ALT down and tehn hold right mousebuttom down and draging left or right you can change the brush size.. much faster!! great tut btw!

[photoshopmama]

Thanks for that tip. I keep forgetting about that one as it only works in CS4, not previous versions. Great tip though!

[mimi2ta1]

wow ~ Great tip!

thanks (^.^)

[da3bool]

Thanks mama

[AlwaysRanting]

Awesome! Looks like a great action. Thanks so much!
