Being purpose-built for Lightroom, at a first glance a Loupedeck appears incredibly easy to navigate. In one sense, if Lightroom is your choice photo management and editing software, then Loupedeck's exclusivity is a big plus. Loupedeck's exclusivity to Lightroom may prove to serve its success or failure. For those that spend hours upon hours using Lightroom, the Loupedeck could be a godsend. The clear selling point of control decks are enhancing the photo editing workflow. Instead of navigating the screen with a mouse or trackpad to make the edit you want, the edit can be made by using the specific dial/ button/ wheel on the Loupedeck that controls that edit. The dials, buttons and wheels found on the Loupedeck are assigned and labelled specific Lightroom controls, while a few can be customised.

Conceived by photo enthusiasts and former Nokia developers, Loupedeck is a result of a successful crowdfunding campaign.Ī control deck essentially emulates a midi controller (similar to a mixing desk), though in Loupedeck’s case it’s built-in hardware serves Lightroom exclusively. Loupedeck is a photo editing control deck designed specifically for Adobe Lightroom, compatible with version 6 and later.
