Awesome tool, which save your time when editing the pictures. Received to anyone who use Lightroom

Best tool for Lightroom

This is a must have for Camera Raw, Photoshop & Lightroom Classic. Controls are great, you can assign tasks/actions to many of the buttons if desired away from the default settings. It definitely speeds up photo grading, sorting, white balance, exposure, cropping, brushes? you name it.

Loupedeck+ is a Plus Plus

Love it! Once I got it setup to my liking it has shaved a ton of time off my workflow!

Best editing peripheral for Lightroom classic ever!

It has a steep learning curve and so many buttons and functions that I am still learning them after a few months.However, it makes it much easier and precise to work in Lightroom. I have not used it with Photoshop yet but I plan to do it sometime n the future.

Handy help

For the past two weeks, I have worked with Loupedeck+ and the three programs in my workflow: Lightroom, Photoshop, and Camera Raw. Integration with Lightroom is excellent and the deck is a joy to use. Among other things, I love the way using dials instead of digital sliders to make adjustments means I do not have to take my eyes off an image, the convenience of resetting individual sliders by pressing a dial, and the ability to control color channels easily. 

However, the many problems with both Photoshop and Camera Raw, some serious, render the tool useless. I encountered dozens of problems with Photoshop and Camera Raw: many buttons and dials do not work as intend and some do not work at all. The most serious problem is that every turn of a dial produces a state in the History panel. If, for example, you set Exposure to 50, you get 50 states in the panel, so in a very short time the panel is filled with hundreds of states, rendering it useless. Note that this is also a problem with the more expensive Loupedeck CT. 

And Loupedeck responded poorly to my emails about the many problems with Photoshop and Camera Raw. The company insisted for days that the problems did not exist, then they sent me a new software release that they claimed fixed all problems, but it did not fix any of them - not one! After two weeks of back and forth, the company finally acknowledged the problems, admitting that the most serious problem - that is, the creation of hundreds of History states - could not be solved. 

Loupedeck+ has great potential but the tool’s many problems with Photoshop and Camera Raw render it useless. A pity!

Warning - Loupedeck+ Does Not Work with Photoshop

Loved how the  Loupedeck+ was able to seamlessly work as I changed programs and the customization capabilities. The only thing I hope is improved upon in the future is the quality of the materials used, in some respects it feels a little plastic-y and toy like. I great birthday present to myself regardless!

Loving the Loupedeck+

This is hard to use and is slower than photoshop

Hard to use

Bought it used here at Adorama. Did not seem to have been used a lot. Quality was really poor. Not Adorama standard. Flimsy controls, plasticy feeling, wiggly jog-dial. Returned it after som struggle with Loupedeck in Finland just to get a confirmation if the quality really was so bad. MAYBE NEXT GEN. WILL FEEL MORE SOLID I DO NOT KNOW. WILL CONTINUE TO US MY JL COOPER, MORE OF ADORAMA QUALITY!

Great idea. Poor quality and even worse support.

The Good: Software is seamless - couldn't be happier on that end. The idea of having a dedicated hardware panel for photo editing just makes sense. Any professional doing high volume editing would love this (in concept). I also have to say that it helps keep the editor focused on the edit and not the numbers or the interface. 5 Stars for Concept and Software. 

The Bad: The build quality is horrible when considering the cost. For $ this feels like highway robbery. All buttons, dials, keys, etc have a crazy amount of wobble. Leading to a plastic feel that REALLY distracts from editing and makes fine adjustments incredibly difficult at times. I find this extremely annoying because it ruins the entire concept. If the concept is tactile engagement of a software interface, you better make that tactile experience good. I would have rather paid $ and had nothing wobbling. Also, the dials have NO WEIGHT to them, same goes with the HSL panel. To be brief, any enjoyment or speed increase you get from using this device is instantly ruined by a horrible tactile experience.

Note to Loupedeck: Spend less on the brand and spend just a little bit more on higher quality materials. Or maybe use dampening O-Rings like mechanical keyboards? Overall I am very dissapointed.

Amazing Idea, Ruined by Poor Quality Materials.

This tool immediately increased the speed of my workflow.  I can definitely recommend it.  However, there is room for improvement.  The multi layers of fancy boxes and masterful factory packing it arrived in was very impressive.  For me it would be better if they spent less on packaging and presentation (which I immediately recycled) and a little more on the weight and feel of the knobs.  This is an excellent tool, but it would be better to have a slightly higher build quality.

Great ideas, and pretty good execution

I was drawn in by the idea of having a physical control panel, however after using the Loupedeck I was a bit disappointed. The quality is plastic, for the priced asked for it should’ve been made wifi. Single movements are done in increments of 2, which includes arrow keys. Very frustrating when trying to select one image but instead skips over.

Quality is plastic 

The overall quality was good, but I was surprised at the size of the Loupedeck.  I thought it would be similar to my 13" MacBook, but it's about the size of a standard keyboard. 
I had one small problem with presets and not updating, but after contacting Loupedeck Customer Service, they sent a patch that helped.  They were very quick to respond.
