I wrote a blog post about this! This plug in is SOOOOOO amazing! I have been trying out textures just recently and LOVE them, but hate the crazy work and hours to get the right effect, ya know, cause I'm still learning! :)

This plug in would be a lifesaver for me! You are so amazing!

I would be the happiest if I won this new set for FREE. It would totally (no pun intended; I just like to use that word a lot) take my creativity up a notch. And not to mention easy on this newbie photographer's budget. Thanks TRA!! I have no idea how trackback works ... I added a post on my blog!
