What Look Designer 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 built-in support for more than 20 camera brands and EL Zones by Ed Lachman, a scene-referred system for exposure and color-grading control.
The described workflow is to select negative, print, and contrast combinations, then refine the result with analogue adjustment tools. SDR/HDR switching and export presets for Netflix, IMAX, and iPhone are listed. Monthly plans cost $24 a month, yearly plans cost $249 a year, and perpetual plans cost $490, paid once. Separate trials are available for Resolve and Premiere; the trial has no time limit, adds a watermark, requires no credit card details, and includes training. The plugin is listed for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
