![]() ![]() The Loupedeck lays everything out right in front of you. I rarely use Lightroom, and I personally have a really hard time finding certain options and settings scattered throughout the menus. I fully expected that to the be case with Loupedeck+, but once again, I was wrong. If I have to spend hours, days, or weeks learning something before I can actually start enjoying it, I'm probably just going to give up. One thing that keeps me from enjoying a lot of new tech is the learning curve. You just turn the knobs on the Loupedeck+, and it will change the corresponding settings in Lightroom. I had no connection issues, no glitches, no complex customizations. Setup could not have been easier. After going to Loupedeck's website, downloading the Windows driver, and then plugging it in via USB, the Loupedeck+ just worked. Most of the knobs can twist and press in, and the keyboard keys have a satisfying feel. ![]() The Loupedeck+ is plastic, but it still felt sturdy, similar to any midrange keyboard. Obviously, it's not going to compete with the build of other color control panels, but it's literally 1/50th of the price. I never used the original, so I can't compare it directly, but the version I have, the Loupedeck+, has been significantly improved. The biggest complaint users had with the original Loupedeck seemed to be surrounding the build quality. In theory, the Loupedeck+ should have everything you need to cull and edit an entire photography job without ever reaching for your keyboard or mouse. It takes the digital sliders in Lightroom and makes them physical buttons and knobs. The Loupedeck+ is a photo-editing "console" (keyboard with knobs) that was created to help you edit photos more quickly. ![]()
