While this list is impressive, I think the ordering is important. Photoshop CC 20.0 or later with Camera Raw.There is a long list of Apps that the Loupedeck+ supports (on either Windows or Mac): In this case, the API allows signals to be sent from the Loupedeck+ to Lightroom, and the user-interface and image is adjusted in real time as you twiddle the knobs (yes, I said ‘knobs’, let’s get the giggling out the way now). The device and Lightroom connect using the Adobe API (Application Control Interface), which is what all software has to allow it to be connected to other things in the system. Each physical control on the device is designed to control the equivalent parameter in Lightroom.įor example, controls for Exposure, Contrast, HSL, Colour Flags all link directly to the app as you would expect. Once connected to your machine, the Loupedeck+ is extremely intuitive to use. I have owned both devices and so will refer to these improvements, but fundamentally, in terms of use, benefits and usability, they are very similar and so much of this review applies to the original version also. The ‘+’ in Loupedeck+ refers to the latest version of the device, updated and improved from the original Loupedeck.
