What it is

Look Designer 3 is a film-emulation and look-design plugin for DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere. It provides motion-picture negative stocks, print profiles, and a digital film laboratory with subtractive processing. Color tools include advanced color management, gamut limiting, post-processing, LUT export and stress testing, and X01 import and export. The product page lists support for more than 20 camera brands and EL Zones by Ed Lachman, a scene-referred system for exposure analysis and grading control. A workflow can begin with selecting negative, print, and contrast combinations, then refining them with analogue adjustment tools. SDR/HDR switching and export presets for Netflix, IMAX, and iPhone are also listed. Separate trial downloads are available for Resolve and Premiere; the trial has no time limit, adds a watermark, requires no credit card, and includes training. Plans start at $24 a month, with yearly and perpetual options also listed. Look Designer runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
