- This is Loupedeck. A photo editing console for Adobe Lightroom built specifically to speed up photo editing.

I won't make any promises like "it will DOUBLE your editing speed", but this is definitely faster than using a mouse to work your way down the adjustment sliders and both my wife and I noticed a decrease in how long it takes us to edit photos as well as a new found love for editing black & white photographs.
My favorite parts of Loupedeck are...
* The tactile feel of the controls and that they all push in to reset a slider to zero.
* It had me using Hue, Saturation, & Luminance (HSL) more than I ever had before. Which is extremely powerful when editing a Black & White photo.
* The Lightroom plugin is really easy to use and lets you make changes to your custom buttons quickly.
* Instead of wasting time scrolling up and down the right panel looking for the correct slider, I now make an adjustment fast and move to the next image.

Woah!! Just now I refound your channel. The last video of yours I watched was "Where to Put Video Lights (3-Point Lighting Explained)" 2 years ago! Amazing to see how your channel had grown. Keep it up.
Wow this is a really great video, keep up the great work!
This is a super intriguing product, especially for people that are editing a large number of photos, often. When I was shooting weddings, this would have been a life saver! Of course there's ways that you can do all of these actions with a mouse and keyboard, like some users down below mention, but one, where's the fun in that, and two, the less actions I can take to get a task done, the better. $300 is nothing if you are consistently working in Lightroom and this reduces editing time by even 10%.
Thanks for the review!
Awesome video. Really good information. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man.
Wow, so many people need to jump in to share their little slice of negativity.
If the devices feels too expensive to you, then it is. You don't need it. Your perception of value tells you that this device will not provide enough benefit compared to the cost. We get it. Don't try to tell us that YOUR perception is universal truth. It's your perception which is based on how you feel about the time you spend doing your tasks. For many of us, the cost itself isn't a barrier so much as the risk of having another piece of gear that didn't live up to its hype. On the other hand, if it makes our job easier, faster, or more enjoyable (in any combination), it's probably worth the cost.
Definitely! I agree with your summation. So many freakin haters out there!! I can't believe the intensity of criticism displayed these days. You can get one now for $129 at B&H, well worth a check out on my part. ugh.
This wood be dope for after effects and premiere you right about that thanks going get it for light room
you can use loupedeck + on premiere now
05:24 but but
Buy a deck to sync audio also, one lunch man.
I cannot see how this would ever be faster than a pen/tablet and keyboard combination.
audio sync is off on video?
lol whats your problem with him?
i thought there was something wrong with my computer, then i saw this comment. so its helpful
...I was going to say
great video
Nice layout, though a tad expensive - it just needs Darktable(/Lightzone) support !
Wow there always has been control surfaces for color grading Video. Finally there’s an option for photography too
Yeah, hoping they eventually support Premiere's Lumetri panel too though.
When I first saw the campaign (I think two years ago), I was thinking about buying this product too. Then I switched to CaptureOne which has way better shortcuts than LR. It reminds me the days I worked with Bibble Pro. So I think I don't need this anymore.
To me, this is the most hilarious thing since Apple people like icons and mice and this is a total analog throwback for those of us that grew up with knobs and sliders... someday all those children will learn...
Is there any chance something like this can be mapped to work with Davinci Resolve for color grading motion images there? Would be unbelievable value if it could pull double duty.
cool, can this be used for other applications, mmmmmm flight sim would be great value. if it could a new market
Returning the Loupedeck, Behringer X-Touch Mini does all what the Loupedeck can do and more also only $50 Lol. Just easily follow Lovelace's tutorial in UA-cam.
Would be nice to have sound effects for each adjustment.
Is there a way to turn on masking when adjusting White/Black?
Insane price given most mechanical gaming keyboards are at or under $125. Definitely not worth the money when it costs more to produce an LED gaming keyboard.
It’s a cool tool.
How does this help with noise reduction, masking and distortion adjustments
This looks really neat and I'm super interested in trying it out. Minor request: If you're going to upload weird aspect ratios, please actually edit/render to them :/ there's no need for baked in black bars. Us wider DCI 4k and 21:9 monitor users are punished as a result.
I'm pretty sure youtube won't let you use end cards on non 16x9 uploads yet. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is still the case. (there is a chrome extension to help you view videos in whatever aspect you want on your display) whatever aspect this is, it won't fill a 21:9 display either way.
Yup end cards still work with 4096x2160 (my resolution thus black bars ruining playback) and 4:3, but not 21:9 yet.
And the new adaptive player adjusts perfectly to any aspect ratio now.
+LensProToGo - yes let's connect! Sometime before NAB haha.
+EposVox Right. I haven't tested since the newer adaptive player. I also know there is a Chrome plugin that lets you play a full screen video at whatever aspect you want. I don't know the name though.
Fuck off dude with that shit. End cards do not work with 21:9 and rendering DCI 4K is stupid. The small minority of people that use ultrawide monitors is not worth the End Cards or any other headaches and that's why it's not worth doing. Trust me your video was not correct and no need to keep defending this.
There's a new version out, "Loupedeck+", which is even better with more functions and more customizable buttons. Ignore the idiots with their negativity (John Wheatley in particular seems rather clueless of the benefits of tactile control decks). As a professional photographer this paid for itself within a week ("extremely expensive" Mr Wheately? Gimme a break. The consoles I use for sound and video production makes the cost of the Loupedeck seem like pocket change!). Good video review. Well done. Maybe get Loupedeck to send you the latest version to review (and be sure the audio sync on your video works this time! ;) )
Dose it work with affinity photo?
But music DAW has done this for decades now.
The layout of the midi controller is quite universal for anyone. And first of all, they have something called mapping which allow various equipment to work on their software, also midi controllers come in cheap prices.
This is specifically design for only Lightroom, same with the Palette Gear which can only use in several Adobe software but it's priced at 200-300$?
Common man, what your paying for is licensing not only for the product itself and this is not cool. They could have just allow midi mapping to some of the slider and tell user to go buy a midi controller which is cheap and have more buttons and knobs. User could use it how ever they like.
Well, these product could be exist, but it shouldn't be the only options, it shouldn't just for that software only and it shouldn't be expensive like this.
Great review! I found one for $150 and was wondering if it works with any free programs?
I’m not sure. Check their website or email their support team. I’ve only used it for Lightroom and Premiere.
Would you be willing to compare this to Palette? I haven’t seen a comparison anywhere and it would be great to know your thoughts!
Trying to get my hands on a Palette. Hopefully more to come...
@@CalebWojcik Did you ever get your hands on Pallette?
Best sir .
Sir price
It would be nice if it would als work with Lightroom 5.
Does this work on Capture One? I do photo tethering but I find using Adobe Lightroom is too slow vs. Capture One.
This is backaward. Why develop an expensive console when you can create an application with similar functions and shortcuts for your mobile and use it for computers via bluetooth. Just imagine a digital console like this in your mobile.
That is a thought... but I am not sure an application on your phone could yield the same efficiency and precision that the panel offers.
Anyone else getting desynced audio when he's talking to the camera? The timing on everything else he shows with his hands on walk through, but audio seemed off on him.
how much!
Is it worth it in 2023? Or better buy CT version or something else?
is it only for lightroom?
I’m surprised it doesn’t have a dedicated knob for sharpness.
Is that analogue or digital.... should take this to a gig 🤣🤣
Can we use for crack
i stop watching when he says the price
You can use it with Premiere and Lightroom ?
Just Lightroom right now.
Having to use function + pick button instead of having a dedicated button for reject baffles my tiny brain. Basic functions should be straight available, might as well use your standard keyboard, lot faster, just press x or p.
Is this for Lightroom CC or Lightroom Classic?
I’ve used it with classic. Not sure about the slimmed down version of CC.
How much does it cost me right now in 2020?
Hello. Can you use ct and + together? Greetings
I’m not sure, sorry. I haven’t used the CT. I’m guessing you can use both concurrently though.
Way overpriced
Looks cooler than the Lego style system, not sure the name.
Palette Gear?
300$ is a *lot* for just one program that doesn't give you as much editing control compared to photoshop. If this did multiple programs like you said it wish it would do then it would be worth it. Until then its probably better to hold off till then if they do decide to include that
$300 is a lot to spend on a tool. However if you spend the bulk of your time working in Lightroom, like many photographers do, it is a great tool to increase efficiency. It all depends on what is right for your situation. Thanks for watching!
300 dollars for a keyboard ahauahauahauahaahuahahauahahauahauahaahahauahhaauhahauahahaauahhauahahauahahahhahauahahauahauahauahauhauaahauahauahauahauahahahahauahauahauahauahauahauahahahhauahahauahauahauahauahauahauahauahauahauuaahuaahhauahaahuahauahaau
Glorified midi controller
The only thing keeping me from editing lightroom photos faster is my stupid computer that freezes everytime i change any detail on my photo
Too expensive. I ordered the Behringer USB Controller (XTOUCHMINI). Works just as good at a cheaper price.
Did it work in premier??
Yes, it works in Premiere now.
Is that really helpful?
Editing photos is already.lightening fast compared to anything else. Sounds like a waste of money, or a gimmick of making something g already simple look more fancy or complex.
Todd Southgate not to mention it’s $500!!
It's only $200
PT Barnum was right.
Rather then pay for this extremely expensive deck, learn to use all the key shortcuts on your existing equipment... Its just as quick - believe me !!
You say in the talk through.... "You adjust this knob for "noise" What aspect of noise control are you adjust - all parameters...
You say - pushing this button in gives finer adjustment... Well, press the alt button on mac, to slow down the control of any button of adjustment, for finer control..
My wife and I do use keyboard shortcuts (previously with VSCOkeys and now with Pfixer), but this panel in addition to those shortcut tools has us really flying when editing.
I have edited and added further comments, just now...
What aspect or features makes it faster to edit ?
I basically don't touch the mouse now when editing as I can do all the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance adjustments using the sliders at the top. Same with the crop wheel.
Just like in high-level professional games like Starcraft, the less I have to touch the mouse the better. Do you need to spend $300 on a device to help you with that? That's up to you and whether you do this for a living and saving hours a week is worth the investment or not.

Price ?
I think they are $230 new now.
It’s $209 on Amazon
actually the price isnt that bad
The cheaper options can be customized fully. You are a professional spending 300 and still using your keyboard and mouse. So comparing 300 with a pro and cheaper options with a hobbyist doesn't make any sense.
Just learn the shortcuts, it's free!
Is this really work?
I've found I do edit much faster using a Loupedeck.
Rather than just verbally explaining it while you're on screen, would've been better if you showed the toggling on the left screen and the display on the right.
nnnnaaaahhhhhhh..................
A MIDI console it's like a 100 cheap, and you can rock it with motorized sliders... 300usd no F way..
Omg....
I need so much think about money first
Those who come here to say its expensive, its useles blablabla.... are 98% amateur... no offense Pay 3.5k cad for a lense then come back to me say that a 300$ keyboard is expensive when you can do more with more shortcut than hovering everywhere with a mouse instead of turning knobs without looking (yeah keyboard shortcut doesnt rotate like a knob) time is money, my 300$ expense got paid in one day by working more more efficiently...
umm, it's not expensive but I think it is a useless toy for kiddies.
I'd prefer 300 levels, buttons, dials...and not for LR, but for CaptureOne.
These are wayyy cheaper now!
I'm just not seeing the benefit of something like the Loupedeck. It's strikes me as a step backwards. Like, if we lived in a world that didn't have Wacom tablets or a mouse, and only had this Loupedeck, and then someone invented the mouse or Wacom tablet, we'd be like, "Holy shit! This is A LOT better and easier than this gimmicky, Loupedeck contraption." This is a complicated solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist. How is it easier or better to take you hand off a mouse (you still have to use your mouse because the Loupedeck can't even do all the common things in Lightroom), find a button or knob and press or turn it when you could have just left your hand on the mouse AND your eyes on the screen and made the exact same adjustment with a twitch of your hand? It's annoying to constantly have to take your eyes off of the screen. That's the beauty of a tablet or mouse. Your eyes stay on the screen. Adding a third piece of complicated gear to the mix only serves to disrupt workflow and further clutter up your workspace. It's like having two keyboards in the way. Sure, you could probably learn and adapt to it, but why go through the trouble and price when the gear you already have does the job easier and better? Why waste time and money to learn a harder, more complicated way to do something? And even IF it piqued my interest, it's $300! There's no way I'm gambling that much money on something that 1) I don't need, and 2) I may or may not like. Also, there is something else. Image editing is very personal and artistic and people like to feel like they're working ON their image. When I'm using a tablet or my mouse, I'm mimicking drawing or painting with my hand movements, which lends itself well to this type of work. Turning knobs and pushing sliders takes that away and disconnects the artist from his/her work.
This product looks great, but did you seriously upload this video without watching it first?
Jonathan Arena why hate on people that are giving you free information? I don’t see any of your reviews on the product. Make the world a positive place rather than a negative one.
There’s two t’s in button. You should pronounce at least one of them. I don’t know what a “buh-un” is.
You must be fun at parties. 🙃
Caleb Wojcik Ha, the joke is on you! I don’t get invited to parties! Wait, I see what you did there. Dang it!
I stop watching when read the comment. Haha. I love Lr with the shortcut button. But thanks anyway for sharing this keyboard
Great product, 200 bucks is nothing for a professional editor. This will save loads of time.
BTW, the audio is waaaayy out of sync in this video
Are your parents or grandparents from Poland?😱
Great grandparents on my Dad's side.
Nice 😄
I don't even own lightroom
Just learn the keyboard shortcuts, they work in all adobe programs, and you can customize them to your liking. There's no need to even look at the keyboard anymore. Spending 300 bucks? I rather continue paying that stupid adobe subscription. It's not worth 300 bucks
If it was like $80 bucks yeah worth it but now going for $500 bucks on Amazon..... Hell no!
Revisen los comentarios en amazon de este articulo es una completa estafa .
was a good video till I saw your thumb
best comment on my entire channel.
This is just a glorified USB controller.
Woah.. people are driving electric bicycles to avoid good exercise. But are people really that braindead to actually buy this and not going to figure stuff on their own. Well if i was rich.... i still would not buy this.
Lost interest after 2 mins
What a useless device. $30 would be too much money
