Loupedeck More Photo and Video Editing Console for Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop CC, Camera Raw, Premier Pro CC, After Effects, Audition, Final Cut Pro X and Skylum Aurora HDR

While I'm not sure I'm in love with the Loupedeck+, I sure wouldn't want to edit large volumes of photos without it now that I've had the experience of using it. (I had held off on buying the previous version.) I have recently needed to do basic adjustments in Lightroom to almost 2,000 photos from several jobs in order to make proofs for online galleries for customers to order from. I'm sure that I saved many hours of work with the Loupedeck+ compared to the tedious process of carefully mousing the sliders in LR. Yes, it's kind of expensive, but if you do a lot of work in LR and you can swing the cost, then go for it.A few usage comments:1) I found the Exposure knob much faster and easier for quickly dialing in a good exposure than mousing it and is my most frequently used adjustment.2) I didn't realize before I got it that the large Control Dial could be used for adjusting angle. I'm often shooting in situations where I'm switching quickly between horizontal and vertical and don't always get things very level, but the Control Dial makes it easy to quickly fix it. However, I do wish the software would allow for fine-tuning the increments of change for that dial and others.3) The D1 dial is very handy for fine-tuning image cropping and is something else I didn't know about ahead of time.4) The Undo & Redo keys also turn out to be much more useful than I expected.5) After a couple weeks of use, I'm using about half the knobs and buttons very regularly and the others rarely or not at all so far.6) The physical set-up I use at my workstation is to put the Loupedeck+ closest to me and put the regular keyboard behind it and the mouse to the right. I find that I still need to use the keyboard and mouse for some things.Areas for improvement:1) One of the sticky rubber feet on the bottom keeps coming off2) Ability to change adjustment increments as mentioned previously3) The software seems to have a bug using it with LR Classic CC. When in Crop mode and using the mouse to move the image relative to the cropping (instead of the arrow keys), LR will sometimes start rapidly adding Crop Rectangle steps to History.4) I would like the Loupedeck+ to be able to be propped up at a higher angle like you can with some keyboards5) I would like it if there was some way to indicate on the keyboard what I've set the custom dials and buttons to besides putting a piece of tape on the Loupedeck+ with the custom function written on it.6) Make the color spots under the eight knurled dials larger so they're easier to see, especially in the dim lighting many of us use when editing7) I would like the Control Dial to have a much softer/lighter push down action.Bottom line:For me, the Loupedeck+ is worth the money and I look forward to ongoing improvements of the hardware and software.

I have had a StreamDeck for quite a while and tried a StreamDeck+ for use with Lightroom but it was unable to work reliably and lacked useable plugins to do what I needed it to do. I found this console and it’s PERFECT! I’m able to make my photography workflow significantly faster. It takes a little adjusting but once your fingers learn the placements, you’re able to make so many adjustments on the fly without taking your eyes off the image. At first I was nervous about the lack of resistance of the knobs but then I realized that they work exactly as I want them to.I like the ablility to adjust the shortcuts/keys and that I can also use this board for other applications as well. It is a little larger than I was expecting but that doesn’t go against it’s usefulness. If you are a photographer who uses Lightroom, I highly suggest this. The initial investment is a little steep but it saves a lot of time in the flow.
