In their own words
DVLOP
DVLOP is an editing platform offering photo presets designed to speed workflows and support creative experimentation. Its camera-specific profiles are intended to maintain a similar look across camera systems. Each camera has separate daylight and warm-temperature profiles, which Lightroom and Camera Raw blend according to white balance. In recent Lightroom Classic and Adobe Camera Raw versions, presets can adapt to an image’s ISO. Packs include mix-and-match components, and users can save created styles in the DVLOP User Mix folder. The Sunlight pack includes three presets, modifiers, palettes and tools, plus Lightroom Mobile presets. DVLOP supports Lightroom Classic, Camera Raw, Lightroom desktop and mobile, and Capture One styles. The Installer has macOS and Windows apps; the Mac app supports Intel and Apple silicon. Individual preset or style packs start at $39.00 USD one-time, and the Chris Burkard Bundle is $99.00 USD one-time. The free Impossible Things Lightroom Classic plug-in is available to anyone with a DVLOP account.
