Loupedeck has announced the latest addition to its customizable creative control consoles, the Loupedeck Live S Streaming Controller.

Loupedeck has released Software Version 5.0, an update for the Creative Tool and Live devices. The free update for the photo, streaming, and video editing consoles includes a simplified profile for easier streaming, native plugin support for Ecamm Live, vMix, Capture One Pro, and more.

When I first saw an ad about the TourBox, two thoughts came to mind. “Look, another console promising to change the way you edit” and “this looks weird”.

After finding success with its original Loupedeck and Loupedeck+ photo editing consoles, Loupedeck today unveiled the Loupedeck Creative Tool (AKA the Loupedeck CT). It's a small and sleek console that's streamlined, customizable, and still very powerful.

Monogram (the artist formerly known as Palette Gear) has just launched a powerful new editing console on Kickstarter. The Monogram Creative Console and compatible modules are more compact, while giving users more creative control; and a new "Orbiter" module was specially designed for ultimate color grading control.

Editing images with software like Lightroom typically involves changing parameters like exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, and so on for more than 90% of your work. These parameters are controlled using sliders that you have to drag with your mouse -- sliders that emulate physical controls. But why not use such physical controls like sliders or control dials directly?

Loupedeck made a splash when the custom photo editing console for Lightroom was announced back in 2016. Today, the company just announced the original console's successor: the Loupedeck+.

Loupedeck and Palette Gear are two completely different types of consoles that essentially aims to do one thing: help you edit a little faster in Adobe Lightroom. That’s a general statement, but if you’re here, you probably have a bit of an idea about the two devices.

I'm going to start this field test back to front and for one reason only: the LoupeDeck system blew my socks off. If you're a wedding photographer -- in fact, if you're into any genre of photography -- the Loupedeck is a game changer.

As a professional documentary wedding photographer, actually taking photographs is a small (but essential!) part of my job. Much of what a wedding photographer does is in the editing and processing of the images. And that’s where tools like the Loupedeck photo editing console for Lightroom comes in handy.

There is an extremely talented landscape photographer called Thomas Heaton whose YouTube videos I find very instructive and entertaining. Recently he featured a new product he was sent to try out: the Loupedeck, a physical console that lets you control Lightroom (the main software I use to sort, catalog and edit my photographs).

Self-described creative technologist Thiago Avancini hacked this Atari 2600 joystick into a shutter release cable -- complete with an autofocus control for his Canon T2i. The controller is considerably larger than the average cable release or remote control, but it's a pretty nifty.
