No control at all
No way to control the effects parameters, some are too exagerated and some too light/small and there's just that single setting. Next...

Super easy and great work
The plugin is very easy to use, it is not applied to all images en masse, but you can choose a separate effect for each image. Excellent plugin! I recommend :). Thank you very much to the creator for creating it. I really appreciate it! :)
