DVLOP

DVLOP sells photo-editing preset and style packs for photographers who want looks tailored to their camera and adjustable through mix-and-match components. Its camera-aware profiles and one-time pack purchases make it a practical fit for photographers editing in supported Adobe software or Capture One; the right pack depends on the application and version in use.

Overview

DVLOP is built to speed up editing while leaving room to shape a style. Its presets detect a camera model and apply a corresponding profile, aiming to keep a look consistent across camera systems. In Lightroom and Camera Raw, separate daylight and warm-temperature profiles are blended according to white balance. Recent versions of Lightroom Classic and Adobe Camera Raw can also adapt presets to an image’s ISO.

That camera- and condition-aware approach is useful to photographers working with multiple bodies or varied light. It is less compelling for someone who only wants a simple fixed filter, and the ISO adaptation specifically depends on recent compatible Adobe software.

Key features

• Mixable editing components: Packs may combine presets with modifiers, palettes, profiles or tools, depending on the pack. Users can save their own combinations in the DVLOP User Mix folder, which supports a repeatable personal look rather than a one-click effect.
• Sunlight pack: This pack contains three presets, Chris Burkard modifiers, DVLOP Outdoors palettes and toolkit, plus Lightroom Mobile presets. Its breadth is useful for photographers wanting components alongside core looks, though the contents of other packs vary.
• Capture One styles: DVLOP sells Capture One styles, including Sunlight. That version supports Capture One 11 or later and is optimized for version 20 or later, so older installations may not get the intended fit.
• Installer and free plug-in: The downloadable installer has separate macOS and Windows apps; the Mac app supports Intel and Apple silicon. It records installations per computer, checks for updates when opened, and can install selected packs from a user’s library. The Impossible Things plug-in for Lightroom Classic is free with a DVLOP account and installed through the installer.

Pricing

DVLOP combines a free account-based plug-in with paid, one-time pack purchases. The entry point is $39, paid once for an individual preset or style pack; pack-specific presets, modifiers, profiles, tools and mobile presets vary. This suits buyers who want a particular set of components without a recurring subscription, but they should match the pack contents to their needs before purchase.

• Impossible Things plug-in: free. It is a Lightroom Classic plug-in, free to anyone with a DVLOP account.
• Individual preset/style packs: $39, paid once. Choose this for a specific pack; contents depend on the pack.
• Chris Burkard Bundle: $99, paid once. It combines Sunlight, Sunset and Twilight, making it the broader option for someone seeking all three rather than a single pack.

The free option is a plug-in, not a general free tier of preset packs. The listed purchases are pack-based rather than subscriptions, and no seat or usage quota is stated.

Platforms

DVLOP’s listed platforms are macOS, web and Windows, and delivery is by download. Software support covers Lightroom Classic, Camera Raw, Lightroom desktop, Lightroom Mobile and Capture One, but compatibility is pack-specific. Sunlight supports Lightroom Classic 4 or later, Camera Raw CS6 or later, Lightroom CC Desktop 1.4 or later and Lightroom Mobile. Mobile preset syncing requires Lightroom Desktop, so it is not a standalone mobile setup. The installer is for macOS and Windows, with Intel and Apple silicon supported on Mac.

Who it's for

DVLOP is aimed at photographers and artists, from professionals to weekend photographers. It is best suited to people who want camera-aware starting points, adjustable components and access to both Adobe and Capture One packs. Buyers seeking mobile presets should check syncing requirements, while anyone using a particular application or older version should confirm that the chosen pack supports it.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Camera-specific profiles and white-balance-based dual-illuminant blending help maintain a consistent intended look across cameras and lighting conditions.
• Pros: Mixable components and the User Mix folder let photographers preserve their own combinations instead of relying only on fixed presets.
• Pros: Individual packs and the three-pack Chris Burkard Bundle are one-time purchases, and the Lightroom Classic plug-in is free with an account.
• Cons: Pack contents and software requirements vary, so a purchase may not include the components or compatibility a buyer expects unless they check the specific pack.
• Cons: Lightroom Mobile preset syncing requires Lightroom Desktop, limiting the appeal for photographers who work only on mobile.

Verdict

Choose DVLOP if you want camera-aware presets, adaptable profiles and components you can combine, with one-time pack purchases across Adobe and Capture One workflows. Its main advantage is the control built into those camera-matched, modular looks; look elsewhere if you need a mobile-only workflow or a pack whose compatibility and contents do not suit your setup.
