If you don’t know who I’m talking about you must be from another planet, but for the sake of clarity, the Photoshop Guys are Scott Kelby, Dave Cross and Matt Kloskowsky from Photoshop TV or Kelby Media and they have some great, short tutorials for Photoshop tricks that I encourage all to check out.
