And this was a deep charcoal gray building. Seasonal theater in Brooklyn many years and in 1981. Before when digital. And I found in the attic the other day and want to try to restore it somehow. You -- the tone as -- shady which has shrunk in. Through the years but it do you think it appeared the now he eventually I guess to. The debt. But this is. Appears well look at friends that you -- here -- cut them to packaging whatever is necessary. But my main work DA an area where I work is over here but before we look at that. Look over here. That the we have here. Because this is the hundredth episode so we are gonna have the party. And I'm going to send all my viewers a little sliver of this only kidding only can but anyway. I would definitely be speaking of all of you as we're having mistake today because because you guys is they were having a hundredth episode. So well we're gonna celebrate after you were done shooting and a episodes salivating but you can since music. But let's get into the studio and that's look at the the stuff that I worked with over here. So here is the main working there now. And what I've got this little. I think. These 750 pro which is standing here which area. He's was getting no I don't use it quite often because I don't scanned much pretty much. And again pretty things from scratch but every now and then there's some parliament and any disk and -- that the user or maybe some texture that I want to use I have my scanner right there now when I proof. I pretty much go to this guy first this is my -- pro 3800. That is not the capability of papers -- that a seventeen by twenty twos and this is the machine that I use for proofing. Stuff on. This is my final output device right here uses DS and 9800. This is got. Oh with a 44 inches by making her role poses the guys were offset printing out this is the quick proof for the red carpet together. Big giant kind of like that's. -- you'll come off of this is the best proof that I just -- And this -- so it's. Paid for it doesn't matter what it."
" This is where I actually do my work. Now I have as they've shown before too. Since T 21 inches here this is the main working stationed here and -- were my tools off. That he's thirty inch HD Apple look here is where I preview things. So I'll be working here and update you can see that I have. It's crazy actual image I'm working on. Up here have my references here is the -- anywhere is going here's the photograph and it's I'm working from and some deep held shots but I'm working from here. Now the beauty of having multiple monitors the president's just him and I'm right here in not. In -- now. So I'm ready to go in and I'll start looking for instance I'll go to my reference shots and here. I feel all my different reference shots and then I'll switch to the -- on -- if I can access the modern Europe on top there. Thank you click on different areas here this you are looking at and it's this particular shot I click on their and it shows upon this mean as a preview. So I have. Quick reference of the contents which I've grown up in this window and he you have to follow there is the metadata keywords they were all in this column here. And then here I'll have to preview setup so that amusing. Both monitors here for previewing all of this information. This guy here is where I'm constantly working so I'll be over here setting up all my stuff. And I'm working within the three Mars puts power in all the stuff underneath that's where do it real power is now. I have sixteen gigabytes of ram installed in this machine. And then down here will move this out of the way is where."
" All of the story it is."
" So I keep down here it's fairly quiet you're a little bit up on the home from the drives right now. This menu admit that sitting on top. Of the machine right here this is a great system this is a debate on start on. It's SR 6600. Has five days in it and each one of these days contains a Samsung. It's -- point. F one enterprise class drives each one he's based here having 750. Gigabyte drive installed here. So this is a little over. Three. Terabytes. Of storage does is it may drag that this right here. It's connected to order machines here in the studio and these machines in the house. So this is that it might mean back up unit is where everything is going on copy it isn't any with the cool colonies. That's my little road warrior that's might traveling drive. That's and it's always connected here because of some updating stuff it's going in -- as the driver use going to go on the road from my seminars and such. And that's say little Mercury on the go portable external storage solution. Altogether I got ten terabytes."
" Of storage underneath the machine here. Not a beauty of having so many different drives and internally. I have a terabyte drive. But internally if something happens that machine well in you know it. Everything in midtown blossomed like the machine repair so you see the whole list of drives now. -- the map -- cities. So the internal main drive the owners got to my applications is called -- and that's where I live. And got San Francisco Chicago and -- now these Ford drives the purple blue indicates it's my main drive. The other three are great meaning that they are internal drives touches have my own color system in which it is say that these are internal drives. These food drives here are 500 gigabyte drives that's Brooklyn and Paris. -- all the red drives are my terabyte drives you got the Tokyo. New York. Hong Kong and Los Angeles and then that's the eastern seaboard. That's the big -- estimate drive record decency boards there's encompasses the whole bunch of stuff why decency -- one decency work. And this -- dream is the road warrior. These green because he's for. Going to he's on the go he's always on my list here he's always connected. Because that way I. Like I said -- updating things like my website or whatever they always go to road warrior so that way. It's always updated with the latest."
" Also wherever I am I want to access something that information. So I do a lot of seminars and I do -- user groups and stuff and and schools so therefore I have every file that I could possibly need is on that drive. Com and also for working sometimes out of have a lot of files I have to -- client. This -- and -- what I pick all the files and president -- client I think them with me on that drive that pretty much my travelling drive. And in fact right now with all my demo stuff. On it it still has. 427 gigabytes available to you see I'm not taking much on it now does not have done right now there's. Stuff Photoshop world what's coming up in September. And my illustrated for my Photoshop -- and a couple of other little things -- better -- some pictures. -- idea. -- vacation this past weekend so I downloaded the camera operatives into that drive also -- kind of travels with me and I music for a lot of different things must come here. I uploaded onto the main machines and it gets cleaned out of anything that doesn't belong in there not talking about cameras. The camera -- uses this little guy right here. Canon G nine this is that I user. Going on issues on my reference material with true. -- a little while we'll see some of that reference material does it guys use it gives me ten point -- mega pixels which is not detail got a great zoom. Okay so give me. The ability to live close ups and again a few minutes so we've thought or actually next week we started to show us some of the stuff you'll see how crucial is. Have a good zoom to get the pills for a project I'm working on. So we'll get into all that stuff. Next week. So immediately -- basic idea of what's in the studio. Has a lot of different. -- going to my name machine and then all of these supports stuff which we saw when we first came in here. So now. Next week. Next week we'll better than still be here. Through an out of film next week's show radio and what I want to do and don't give you guys a little preview into my next -- I'm estimate is that take about to do you have peers who have been working on now for quite a few months.

Awesome ep. I have been wanting to see an episode like this for awhile, bert kinda touched on his studio in his book, but this was very cool to see.
Anyone want to guess what the new project is before he shows it next week? I haven't heard anything about it other than there is a project Bert is working on.
My guess... Times Square NYC

That was awesome. His new book has some pics of the studio but it was nice to see all the cool stuff he has. OMG, the printers, the Cintiq's, the Apple Cinema display! Drool! The backup drives were insane!
I hope he can do more shows from his home. It's a lot of fun to watch!

Man, I would love to have a set-up like that. Imagine getting up every day, going into your own studio like that, and working (Playing :)) on Photoshop all day. That would be class.

That is a dream that most of us dream :D I am a full time Met so I do this on my off time. However, I am looking at doing this much more often due to the great episodes of Pixel Perfect.
Happy PSing all!
