{Texture Tuesday} The Orange eDition

mouse over to see the before

We're back with another Texture Tuesday! This week... it's all about orange.

I had some great ideas in my mind...and then today I went pretty much blank. Thankfully, I remembered my sweet little orange cup from Winners.....

Today's image was processed with Totally Rad's new plugin, Rad Lab. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing it is!! Seriously!! UNBELIEVABLE... I'd even venture to say... Life Changing!!

You can check it out HERE.

I will share more on Rad Lab soon... I promise.

I don't have a detailed recipe for my orange image. 

I did run Rad Lab several times on it and I used a FAB TEXTURE as well.

I call the texture 'Serious Magic'. 

For today's photo I used 2 layers, at screen blend mode 100% opacity.

(if you are new to the magic textures, they work wonderfully on screen blend mode.)

Today you can grab 'Serious Magic' Free.

Click HERE to download it!!

Speaking of textures...did you see the new Ultimate Bundle II? It's a collection of 48 fab textures, by me.... Click HERE to check it out. 

Okie doke, before we get to linking up.... let's talk next week's TT theme.

It's been awhile since we've used a specific texture for the challenge..... so what do you say... sound good?

Tuesday, September 6th TT Challenge Details are:

Your image must contain one layer of the latest freebie, Cracker Jack.

If you do not have 'Cracker Jack' yet, be sure to join the Texture Lovin' list. The download link will be sent to your email, upon registration.

New to Texture Tuesdays? Here's the short and sweet TT rules.

• please link directly to your post, not just to your blog or flickr stream.
• please link back to the Café. You can grab the TT button HERE, if you wish.
• please visit the other TT participants and leave them some comment love. Remember it's a party.... and what's a linky party without lots of comment love? Right!

Shall we?

I love the mouse over effect on the photo above - how do you html that - in the post itself? (I'm on SS as well and have yet to figure it out!!)

[Magic Gypsy]

I love your photo. Thank you for all the great textures and lessons!

[Desirae R]

I really love this! Looks very cool.

[Pat Mark]

Love your little orange tea cup and thanks for the great "Crackerjack", can't wait to use it next week. Yes, I too am curious as to how the mouse is added to the photo.

[Joy]

Love your photo! Thanks for all the textures you share!

What a cute little antique china cup - reminds me of what would once have been in my grandma's cupboard. It's my first linkup Kim with texture tuesday today.

[Jo Williams]

Kim, this is a wonderful picture. I love the way the orange leaps out at you when you run the mouse over the image. You do such a great job and are so talented. Thank you for sharing with us. Jo

[Helena C]

Kim I'm on the texture lovin list but did not get the email with the cracker jack link last week

[Sherry]

Oh how pretty all of these thumbnails are. What gorgeous color! Thanks for having us Kim.

Wow, These are all such beautiful images and of coarse the texture is lovely as usual:))))

[Linda Deal]

Good Morning, Kim and other TT'ers, All last week I collected signs for the "Oklahoma Orange" photo. I finished putting the last touches on it Saturday night. Then on Sunday, I saw a beautiful "Orange Mustang." Mustangs are my favorite car so I had to take the shot. I decided I shouldn't make two entries, but can't figure out how to remove the second one. Kim, If you can remove it, I'd appreciate that very much.

Love these challenges and look forward to them every week. It's fun to see what everyone comes up with. There's a lot of serious skills going on here. I'm learning so much from everyone.

[prairiegirl]

i LOVE the splash of orange happening here ... this is so cool!
BRAVO everyone!!
kim, i can't help but think how jack layton would have loved this ... : )

I love everyone's vision of "orange"! I emailed you earlier about "crackerJack" and just realized I've already downloaded it - duh! Looking forward to using it next time.

[June Scott]

An extra freebie this week - thanks, Kim! Can't wait to see what everyone shared!

[Cathy Bueti]

Kim, love your image!! And I am new to the magic textures so I had fun trying this one in today's challenge! Thanks for the tip to use the screen mode! Love the effects! :)

[jill]

Oh my, I think the thumbnail collage of all the links may be the best one yet. Darn, if I'm not starting to like orange...Thanks for the magic texture Kim!!

[Sherri]

Hi, I'm new to Photoshop Elements and am currently taking Kim's Essentials class. I am just starting to participate in Texture Tuesdays and am loving the challenge. Please bear with me as I ask a silly question: When I post my photo and add it to the list up there ^^^, my tiny photo above my name is very blurry and unfocused (when everyone else's is very crisp and clear). Could someone kindly tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

[Kim]

@Sherri - can you tell me which photo is yours? which #?

xxo

[Sherri]

Kim,

Oops, I'm sorry - my photo is #79.

[Ana Eugenio]

I published a very easy mouseover effect tutorial here: http://www.anasofiaeugenio.com/2011/08/how-to-do-mouseover-effect.html :)

[Susan]

Kim, this was just amazing! Once again you've outdone your self.

Looking forward to checking out your tuturiol with the brushes. Thanks again and again for all the many awesome textures.

Hope your day is blessed!

[Inês]

Hi Kim, just found you last week. I want to thank you for all the wonderful textures! I hope they will help me to become more "artistic". Don't know yet if I will succeed, though:)
But that is due to me then!

I have been having problems with adding my photos to all the challenges, so this is the only way I can upload a photo for now!

I love the way the link board looks with all that lovely, warm orange. You should do color challenges more often -- they look so pretty on the blog! ; )

[Elaine]

What a gorgeous burst of color~~so energizing!

I'm still working on my photo and should be able to post it today or tomorrow. I'm so glad Tuesday lasts for several days :~) As I mentioned on your Facebook Page, Kim, I'm shooting for a humorous take on the theme~~I hope everyone else thinks it is :~)

Thanks for the new texture~~I love your Magic series!

[Elaine]

Kim~~my first link didn't seem to work and there is not a little x next to it, so I can't delete it. You are welcome to delete the first one if you want!

[Natalee Potter]

Thank you Kim just linked up but no thumbnail:) You know I love your textures!!!

[Lissa]

Darn, I must have done something wrong. My thumbnail isn't showing up. ;-<

[Michelle]

Just wanted to 'Thank you' for your freebies!!!!!!
