  • Loupedeck+ Plus Should you buy one? First Impressions & Test With Adobe Lightroom
    FINALLY got my hands on a Loupedeck+ editing console! I've wanted one for years.. maily to help with my wedding and events photography workflow. Also to give me easy access to lightroom tools and features i never use such as split toning.
    LoupeDeck: bit.ly/2ydenfK
    In this video i literally open the box and give my 100% honest initial thoughts on the unit..
    I really enjoyed using the product and hope it isn't just a novelty! - i'll be sure to keep you in the 'loop' haha.. Sorry! ;-)

    Love your posts Gareth, really helping me to get to grips with my new hobbie. So now I have the Fuji XT3, kit lens 18-55mm and 35mm 1.4, moving away from snap seed edits, I’m at a cross roads...lightroom or capture one? Which path do I take? ( using MacBook Pro)

    Great to see an honest initial hands on overview. It looks very transparent and a case of getting used to layout. Great to see different ways of editing being experimented and I’m sure it will speed up the process. Keep up the fantastic work and I look forward to a review when you have had some time to enjoy it. 👍🏻

      @@GarethDanks I use Davinci Resolve a lot and Loupedeck has limited abilities with DR and I don't use LR PS PP that much this deck would make any different in my workflow. I still want it but don't need it 😂

    Can you customize a key to jump into (edit in) another program such as Topaz Denoise?

    Thanks for the video, I hoped you would do a quick video following the Instagram feed the other day. I did ask if you would do a review. I particularly liked the way you hadn't used it before and was finding your way around it. Looks fairly intuitive.

    They are great for older guys like me Gareth, as I’ve got older I find using the apple mouse trickier, ive borrowed a friends and I really liked it, his was the original model, I understand the newer model is even better after a few tweaks were made to it. You picked it up easily and you made it look simply to use, as you said it’s just a case of remembering the layout.

    • @GarethDanks
      @GarethDanks  4 роки тому +1

      Yes mate. Literally 10 mins and I was ok with it. Even tried to edit the video with it haha. Not there yet! Nice Tho.

  • @lecolintube

    Thanks that’s an awesome, open and honest review. Are you still using the LoupDeck+?
    Out of curiosity, any further long time thoughts, feelings or reflections on it?
    I’ve heard that it’s less for significantly speeding up workflow, and more of being able to intuitively edit images.
    Any change in whether you’d recommend it or your thoughts around it?
    Thanks again.
    Subbed 😉

    Hey Gareth! nice review. have you tried the Loupedeck CT version? Its really hard to find an unbiased review elsewhere as to which to purchase. Im torn between the two.

    • @GarethDanks

      Not yet! and tbh it looks farrrrrr to advanced for me lol.. the one i have is fantastic but i hate the lead!!

    • @GarethDanks

      I think it will too. I’d never tried split toning before. But all the tools are there.

    I picked up one of these just because I have problems with repetitive stress in my arm. Hopefully it will solve my problem! Otherwise no way would I pay this much for one, haha.

    Looks lime its more use than the LOUPEDECK CT reviewed on LMG's ShortCircuit a week or so back. that the smaller more blinky lights and cool touch wheel. Looking forward to seeing how you get on in a week or 3

      Press 4 on the ratings buttons 👍🏻😊

    Great handy gadget, especially when you have to edit a lot of pictures like you do. But when you don’t have to edit a lot, a mouse and keyboard works also fine.

    • @GarethDanks
      @GarethDanks  4 роки тому +1

      Exactly mate I do a lot of bulk editing like I’m doing right now which this is proving amazing for.But yes just for the odd one or two images definitely easier with just a mouse and keyboard. Though I am really enjoying using it

    • @marcelzwart3527
      @marcelzwart3527 4 роки тому +1

    • @ethangilbertmedia
      @ethangilbertmedia 7 місяців тому +1

    • @glenncho3390
      @glenncho3390 7 місяців тому

      Adding to the downsides I found the latency on the Louoedeck not super responsive with a distinct lag which made the mouse and keyboard far more responsive.

  • @iainmc9859
    @iainmc9859 4 роки тому +1

    Neat gadget. One day they're going to invent a gadget that means you can do all your editing without the need for both hands and multiple digets; oh yeah, they have. Its called a mouse!
    How many packs of nappies did it cost and how did you persuade your partner it was a necessary investment at this time ;-)
    It obviously does a good job and with a bit of practice you may even get up to mouse speed.

  • @andrewcoomber2418
    @andrewcoomber2418 4 роки тому +2

    Hi Gareth, Loupedeck+ is USB for a couple of reasons. Firstly as the console transmits much more data that a conventional keyboard with a standard wireless connection we are almost certain to get latency and therefore lag, which would be unacceptable. (Ask anyone who has ever used a wireless Wacom tablet!!)
    We also need power, so without USB we would need a battery (which would need a cable to charge), would go flat at exactly the wrong moment, and more importantly complicates production, certification and shipping as well as adding cost.
