RadLab by Totally Rad - True Awesomeness

mouse over to see the before 'RadLabified' and Texturized image

Today, I'm super pumped to share a little video review of Totally Rad's new Photoshop plug-in, Rad Lab! If you've used their actions or presets, you already know that Totally Rad is amazing! But, Rad Lab is BEYOND amazing. 

'RadLab is a revolutionary new way to style your photos.  Unlike using Photoshop actions, RadLab allows you to get instant previews of how your image will change.  You can layer together effects, called Stylets, in infinite ways, and customize your Recipes with simple, intuitive sliders.  RadLab comes with 78 Stylets for you to use, and operates as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.'

It's seriously sock-dropping stuff, my friends!

Please take a moment to check out my little vid... then run on over to Totally Rad and check it out!!

I processed today's image in RadLab and then added a little texture to seal the deal.
I just can't help myself! I'm a texture addict!

How 'bout your? Have you been doing any creative processing lately? Maybe you've tried something new, or just changed things up a little. Share with us today!  We'd love to see.

.....

p.s. Don't forget that we are giving away one $100 Paper Coterie gift card EVERY SINGLE DAY of September! Is that not awesome? Share a comment each day before midnight EST for a chance to win that day's random drawing. Be sure to leave links to your story shots!!
Soooo exciting!!

Wow Kim, your vid totally sold me on this. {now I just need to check under the cushions for some spare change} I was skeptical until I saw it in action. Awesome. And it reminds me of some of the photo apps on my iPhone. So quick and easy to use to transform an image, that's why I've fallen in love with iphoneography recently. So quick and easy to take and process photos.
Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you so much for this introduction to RadLab. I am going to have to do something great or long overdue and then reward myself with that!!

I love a nice, clean photo. I have to say that I like your original better than the edit - it's so pretty just the way it is. The craziest I get these days is a black and white now and then or like this one where I cropped to a square.
