Easylooks brings these multiple capabilities into a single tool. The more time I spend editing, the more I dislike workflow inefficiencies, realizing that life recedes around me while I click and click and click. Not only are these various tools combined in DVS but there are also 33 intelligent presets from which I can start with and then further customize.
If you are new to editing (or at least color destruction for creative effects), DVS is invaluable in that it also shows the correlation and importance of multiple color controls when used in unison, allowing you to learn by simply turning on and off each one or by adjusting their various parameters.
The documentation is brief and concise. DVS Easylooks is easy to understand and use - even without reading the manual. That kind of “no-duh” approach is truly what Easylooks is all about.
Lumped into 6 categories, DVS Easylooks brings colorizing, color temperature, diffusion (white and black), gradient, Technicolor effects and vignetting all under one roof—so to speak. Within each of these categories, the full numerical and slider controls you need and expect are present to adjust and enable or disable any item individually. In using DVS, I’ve never once thought, “O come on, why isn’t this control in here?” Combined with the dozens of presets to jump-start look creation, users can modify and then save their efforts as one of their own custom presets.
Because of the depth of options and co-location of tools, this is one of those rare plug-ins that kind of “disappears” in the workflow because it’s just so darn good at what it does.
