Over time, I’ve received several sweet words from some of my readers about my photos. I think they’re mediocre, at best. I’m no photographer (that would be my sister), but I do like my photos to be easy on the eye. I still have sooooo much to learn, but for the time being I’m learning as I go — both the camera and Photoshop. It’s time consuming, but rewarding.
Today I thought I’d share one of my secrets: The Photoshop plug-in RadLab by Totally Rad. I was introduced to it by TidyMom and bought a copy last year that has proven to be a HUGE lifesaver! Adios actions and hello RadLab! I couldn’t be more excited!
As many of you know, photo editing can take A LOT of time, so anything that can ease that work flow is a win-win.
RadLab is the Photoshop plug-in that makes editing easy, creative and fast. It’s super fun to play with and allows for previews of your work! It comes with 80 Stylets to blend, mix and combine! It will seriously allow you to unlock the full potential of your images. If you love applying filters to your photos, much like you do with Instagram, then I think you will {love-love-love} Rad Lab!
You simply open your photos in Photoshop, then click on the RadLab plug-in button to start your editing. You can combine the stylets and adjust them to make the perfect recipe for your photograph. Please note that this plug-in is compatible with the following programs: Photoshop CS3 or later2, Photoshop Elements 7 or later, and/0r Lightroom 2 or later3.
Below I’m going to share a couple before and after photographs with you. Note that these were done with a few simple clicks, meaning minutes! You can use RadLab to simply brighten a photo or add a little flair with one (or ten) of the 80 stylets they offer. The potential is amazing! These pictures were from our trip to the beautiful providence of Newfoundland last summer.

I have a Fujifilm S4000 and a Canon Powershot
I use a Kodak easyshare and a fuji d something. Haven’t had it long and haven’t taken the time to get to know it real well. But yes editing photos takes a while especially if you have a lot of them. This seems to be a great answer to that. 🙂
Looks like this would be fun — and easy! I know how to use Photoshop fairly well, but I think this would be a quicker (and perhaps more fun) way to get the results I like! Thanks for the opportunity!
Should have mentioned, I use my iPhone a lot for pics, but also my Canon xTi.
Just got a canon t3i!!!
I use a Nikon D90. I’ve been using Photoshop for going on 15 years but I sure would love to try RadLab. Looks like it would really simplify my work!
Fun product!! I think you’re a very talented photographer– must run in the fam :).
I use a canon rebel and I have a LOT to learn!
I use a Canon Rebel XSi 🙂
I just use a Kodak point and shoot. I have heard of Rad Lab before. It would be beyond awesome to have it. Great pics!
I have a Canon T3i
Nikon d90 (but lately, mostly my iPhone….).
This really did make your photos pop! I’d love to enter to win, but that would mean I’d have to buy photoshop. Huge congrats to the winner though. This is a great giveaway, Kelly! Thank you for sharing what works for you (and TidyMom!)
A Canon Rebel xsi 🙂
I use a canon T1i; I absolutely love my DSLR. I also have an iPhone 5 which I find myself using more and more because of apps like instagram, etc. I have had my eyes on RadLab for awhile!!
I use a canon and I love your blog!
Thanks so much, Shayna!! xo

I am so tired of difficult editing software…this looks fabulous!

AWESOME- I shoot with a Canon T3i
For my birthday last year, my mother and niece got me a beautiful Canon camera that I’m still not 100% comfortable with, but it doesn’t stop me from taking about a millllllllllion pictures a day. You’d be amazing how many pictures of random birds I have. It’s kind of gross. 😉 Thanks for the opportunity to win this, amazing!
My baby. A Nikon D3200.
I would love to try this – I have Photoshop and use a Cannon Eos Rebel T2i
I have a Nikon D60 model. I’m just learning photoshop so this would be awesome! Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh my, I would love this-I love easy fixes! I use a Canon 60D which I love.
Nikon D800 mostly used by my husband. I tend to use my iPhone camera.
I use my iPad & iPhone almost exclusively…got an iPad Photoshop app, would this work on an iPad? Thanks for the info!
Hi Julia! I don’t think this plug-in can be used on the ipad. However, Totally Rad is working on an app 🙂 Thanks so much for participating. Hugs!
I love my Canon Rebel XSi, but I use my iPhone quite a bit more often just because I always have it on me.
Canon Rebel T3i

Plug-ins like that make editing so easy! I’d love to win. I have a Nikon D800 and D90.
oh you know how much I LOOOOVE Radlab!! did you know they have an iphone app now? it’s called Pic Tap Go
Well, your photos look awesome. I might need to get this! I have been just using the free programs, but at times, find they still can’t improve a few things…mostly lighting issues. I took at a look at the app Cheryl mentioned above and that looks like a must have as well! Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a neat little program. Does it slow your computer down at all?
