Unlike other plug-ins, Looks is really an integrated suite of effects and filters all rolled into one package. The software was developed by effects director Stu Maschwitz. One tool that I really like for specialty grading is Red Giant Software’s Magic Bullet Looks.

I posted a few myself, which gave me the inspiration for my own blog entry on this subject. It’s interesting to see how many different looks one can get from the same basic image. You can download a source image showing an over-the-shoulder shot of a woman, then play with the color grading of the image and post your results to their web gallery. A while back the folks at Video Resources, Inc. posted an entry on their ShootWithRed blog called One Image, Many Visions.
