Look Sweet II earns its place in the toolfarm library as a four-in-one set spanning HDR-based footage rescue, saturation control, simulated bounce fill and highlight-and-shadow polish, all running under FxFactory.
Sheffield Look Sweet II is a bundle of four plug-ins for After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro, designed to sweeten the look of mundane, troubled or ordinary footage. It also works in Final Cut Pro X and Motion, and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors.
Mr. Fixit EZ is a footage rescue system that uses HDR photography techniques to build the brightest possible shadows and the darkest possible highlights, then mix them back into the original image without affecting color; it can also flatten highlights for a brighter overall image. Vibrance Plus gives fine control over saturation and desaturation, raising chroma faster in lower-saturation areas, with Pastel and Enhance modes that respectively pale high-chroma areas or slightly brighten them.
Bounce Fill simulates a colored bounce reflector, defaulting to gold but settable to any color, with an optional invert clip that shifts the fill light's influence based on an object's color. Super Glam adds a final polish by sharpening highlights and softening shadows, working on the full color image or on luminance alone. Look Sweet II requires the free FxFactory to run.
Sheffield Look Sweet II is best for sweetening mundane, troubled or ordinary footage through tonal repair, saturation control, simulated bounce fill and final polish.
Sheffield Look Sweet II is completely free to download and use.
Sheffield Look Sweet II works in After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, as well as Final Cut Pro X and Motion. All four plug-ins — Mr. Fixit EZ, Vibrance Plus, Bounce Fill and Super Glam — are available across these hosts, and they run on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors. For the current, detailed list of supported application versions, refer to the FxFactory page, since Look Sweet II relies on FxFactory and follows its system requirements.
Sheffield Look Sweet II requires Noise Industries FxFactory, which is available as a free download. FxFactory Pro is a paid version that shares the same system requirements as the free version, so either will run the plug-ins. Because Look Sweet II depends on FxFactory, its supported operating systems and application versions match whatever FxFactory currently lists. Check the FxFactory page for those up-to-date system requirements before installing.
Sheffield Look Sweet II runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors through FxFactory. The plug-ins are supported in Final Cut Pro X, Motion, After Effects, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve on those processors. For the specific operating system versions and hardware details, refer to the FxFactory page, as Look Sweet II inherits FxFactory's system requirements rather than defining its own.
Sheffield Look Sweet II is listed as free in this catalog. It does require Noise Industries FxFactory, which is itself a free download, though an FxFactory Pro paid version exists with the same system requirements as the free version. Either version will run the four plug-ins across the supported hosts. For current licensing terms and any conditions tied to the plug-ins, check the developer's page directly, since availability can change over time.
