Have you seen totally rads awesome new actions?

a subtle retouch - mouse over to see the before

I'm super psyched about Totally Rads new action set, Pro Retouch 2.0. Wow...it's crazy..... I can't imagine how pumped pro photographers/retouchers must be. It's really quite incredible.

Retouching is a LOT of work...very tedious.... Totally Rad has made the process easy....and dare I say fun!?! Honestly, this set would be fab for any and all. I love it!

I put together a little video for you to check out...A little walk-through retouch.... 

For more info on Pro Retouch 2.0 zip over to Totally Rad and check it out. They have lots of demos.... so you can watch the magic unfold. It's awesome. Well done Totally Rad!

In honour of today's one word prompt.... something white... today's photo was taken in my favourite place.... the 'white room'......with a little Pro Retouch magic and a black and white conversion. We'd love to see your 'something white' photos..... Be sure to tag them with #shuttersisters so they are easy to find and enjoy.

a RadLab Tutorial

mouse over to see the before

Have you heard the fabulous RadLab news? 
It's now FREE to try for 30 days! You can download it from Totally Rad, HERE

RadLab is an amazing interface that works within photoshop or photoshop elements. It is compatible with Elements 8 and up or Photshop CS 3 and up.
Once you download and install RadLab, it will be ready and waiting for you within your photoshop program.
RadLab has the coolest effects, called stylets. There are 78 to choose from. Each stylet comes with it's own editing options. You can also stack the stylets to create unique recipes.  

At camp I offered a RadLab class. Today, I thought I'd share the info with those who were not able to be there. Many of the lovely Camp SS girl's have downloaded the trial and they are loving it.

I decided to Rad-Labify my prairie barn photo for this tutorial. This is my world, right now....a little sad and dreary, don't you think? It's a far cry from the beaches of California! But, it's home. 

Watch as RadLab brings this old prairie barn back to life.

Have you had a chance to play with RadLab yet? Do you have a favorite stylet or perhaps your very own custom recipe?

Haven't tried it yet? Whatchya think? Click HERE for more RadLab info?
