We've added helpful tools from the Magic Bullet family like cosmetic skin cleanup from Cosmo and the 3 Way color wheels from Colorista II.

Looks 2 makes your life easier by adding the #1 requested feature, Video Out capability, for an interactive preview on your external device that updates as you work. We enhanced the CPU/GPU handling so it's easier to juggle and render large images. And the complicated Advanced I/O processing of Looks 1 has been replaced with a simpler Gamma processing that runs quickly and more efficiently. With Looks 2, you get more power and speed behind the scenes.
