For example, the JPG damage plug= in gives a really nice jpg compression feel without pre-rendering or batch p= rocessing image sequences. Having a plugin that creates the look makes for a= faster workflow and it allows for easier blending of other elements we are c= ombining in the same piece that are not effected by the same look. It's not a loss if this type of plugin doesn't exist, we just like to keep o= ur pipelines as tight as possible when creating these setups. We like buildi= ng templates versus processes. It works better for our system.
