Review on Enhance Your Editing Workflow with Loupedeck+ - The Ultimate Console for Lightroom Classic, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro & More! by Chelsea Hicks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great - but not perfect.

Big update of all the negative thoughts I heard about the first version. I'm a professional photographer and this has definitely added to my workflow - both on desktop and surface. Very customizable, but it has a few quirks. It does everything you would expect except for the following: 1) Custom buttons don't work in brush/gradient/radial filter mode. I assigned C5/C6 to zoom in and out and it reverts to default key settings in adjustment brush mode. There wouldn't be much of a problem other than the need to zoom in and out and pan in this mode. Although keyboard shortcuts are available, none of them are the spacebar, which I use for zooming and panning. So when I'm working with an adjustment brush, I have to use the spacebar on my keyboard to zoom and pan. 2) It randomly loses connection to my computer when it sits for a while. Restarting the computer fixes the problem and it only occurs after it has been online but not used for a few days. 3) There are a few things that can be customized for one set of buttons or knobs, but not another. Just a little quirk. In draft mode, I can't assign the scroll wheel to move to the next photo (it's assigned function + wheel - although that's the default in library mode). These are all software issues that should be fixed with a software update. I wish some keyboard settings would work with Photoshop too. All in all, I recommend this to photographers who want to enhance their photos in Lightroom more than in any other program.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some small things
