Mouse and keyboard are a wonderful tool for most PC activities, but sometimes it can be a pain using complex commands or navigating plugins while doing editing work. Hitting CTRL+ALT+C over and over can be tiresome, and while macro keys can help a lot, having a dedicated control could be even better!
The Loupedeck for Adobe Lightroom looks to solve a lot of problems for a lot of editors. It has a gorgeous bank of control switches, dials, and buttons for you to play around with, giving you something a lot more tactile than an on-screen slider to tweak your project. Measuring in at 15.7″ wide and 6.1″ deep, it should fit perfectly snug on your desktop too, and it’s compatible with PC and Apple systems for ease of use.
“Loupedeck™, the photo editing console for Lightroom™: it takes your photo editing to the next level. It makes your editing faster, improves the ergonomics and most of all, it lets you be more creative and focus more on the photo. The hands-on and highly intuitive console replaces the mouse and keyboard, and it works seamlessly with Apple and PC operating systems. Simply plug and play.”
The Loupedeck has already passed its €75,000 funding target on Indiegogo, €113,000 with 450 backers, and a whole month left to raise more! It’s clear this product is going to be a big hit.
