Glamorous Filters for OBS

Version: 1.5.0

This package contains the runtime files needed to install the Glamorous Filters OBS plugin.

It is intentionally a binary-first release package:

• included: plugin DLL and required OBS data files
• not included: C source, build scripts, dev docs, generators, project history

What This Plugin Does

Glamorous Filters is a creator-focused OBS filter suite for facecams, webcams, capture cards, media sources, and scenes.

Main capabilities:

• creator-style LUT looks — 23 built-in LUTs across 16 categories
• beauty controls: smoothing, softness, eye lift
• color and tone shaping: exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature, shadows, highlights
• glow and bloom: soft glow, highlight bloom, vignette
• advanced detail finishing: texture recover, micro contrast, dehaze, clarity, sharpen
• built-in presets and quick-start profiles
• saved custom presets inside OBS
• custom LUT loading: PNG strip format and .cube files
• before and after preview modes, including split-screen compare

New In 1.5.0

10 New Built-In LUTs

Three new LUT categories with 10 additional looks:

Film

• Kodak Warm — warm, slightly faded, lifted shadows, classic film emulation
• Fuji Cool — cool-green, moderately saturated, crisp
• Cross Process — high contrast, shifted tones, stylized
• Faded Film — very faded, muted, low saturation, lifted blacks

Portrait

• Golden Hour — warm golden glow, brightened, skin-flattering
• Porcelain — very soft, slightly warm, skin-brightening

Moody

• Blue Hour — desaturated, blue-tinted shadows, atmospheric
• Dark Forest — low-key, green-tinted, brooding

Natural (addition)

• Sunlit — bright, airy, clean with warm highlights

Cool (addition)

• Ocean Haze — soft teal, slightly desaturated, coastal feel

Bug Fix: LUT Selection No Longer Resets to None

Selecting a LUT and then changing the category filter no longer clears the active LUT. The selected look now persists across category changes, so you can browse categories without losing your current selection.

Using The Plugin

1. In OBS, right-click a source.
2. Choose Filters.
3. Under Effect Filters, add Glamorous Filters.
4. Start with a built-in preset or quick-start profile.
5. Fine tune the look using the LUT, Beauty, Color, Tone, Glow, and Detail sections.

Recommended Starting Workflow

1. Pick a preset from the Presets section.
2. Lower or raise Look Strength to taste.
3. Set Beauty Strength for how much skin smoothing you want.
4. Use Texture Recover and Micro Contrast to bring back crispness if smoothing feels heavy.

Supported Inputs

The filter works on any OBS video source:

• webcams and facecams
• DSLR or mirrorless capture cards
• game capture cameras
• media sources
• scene sources

Presets and LUTs

The plugin ships with built-in presets and 23 LUT looks.

Users can also:

• load custom LUT PNG strip files (width = size × size, height = size)
• load .cube LUT files
• save their own presets from inside OBS

Saved presets and user LUTs live in the OBS config directory, not in this release package:

%APPDATA%\obs-studio\plugin_config\glamorous-filters\

Privacy and Distribution Notes

This release excludes the C source tree and build tooling.

Important limitation:

• the two .effect shader files are still shipped in plain text because the current OBS plugin architecture loads them from disk at runtime

If you want stronger protection in a future release, the next engineering step is:

• embed shaders into the DLL and load them from memory instead of external files

Compatibility

• Windows x64
• OBS Studio 32.1.1 target baseline

Upgrade Notes

When updating from an older version:

• overwrite the old DLL
• overwrite the old plugin data folder (this picks up new LUT files automatically)
• restart OBS fully

User presets and custom LUTs in the OBS config folder are not touched by this package.
