NEW52-Week32, RadLab

I love using my Totally Rad Actions so when Doug introduced a photoshop plugin called RadLab, I was all over it.  I waited about a week to see what other folks would say about it and then I took the plunge.  I totally love it.  Why?  because with TRA set, I only used a few favorites over and over again.  With the RadLab, you can quickly see what your image would look like with 78 different "stylets."  RadLab is not a photoshop action so even element users can partake in his goodies.  I love the split screen to quickly see your before and after image.  Here is a screen shot using a photo from tea.  I had so much fun playing with the photos from my tea post that I think some ended up being overly processed and looked too yellow.  I'm still playing and just love that vintage look.  I love the speed and the amazing effects you can achieve.  I'm so loving this new toy on my photoshop.


If you "like" Totally Rad Actions on facebook, you should be able to access a coupon code for 10% off any purchase at the TRA website.  Any bit helps these days.

In a scrapping slump, no layouts to share.  However, I am still working on my Summer mini-book.

  1. Oooohh, I love the preview option ... I can't tell you how many times I've run an action, only to decide it's not quite the look I was hoping for, "ctrl+z" and start all over again. I've heard nothing but praise for Totally Rad actions, but haven't yet taken the plunge ... think I may need to reconsider!!!

  2. I would really love RadLab, except that I process and tag all my photos in Lightroom. Lightroom presets are like this too. You can apply the same present to multiple photos. There's preview of what it would look like, and it's totally fast. I love Lightroom. I really would not have been able to keep up with Project 365 in 2009 if it were not for Lightroom. I'm glad you are loving your new RadLab!
