Loupedeck Photo Editing Console To Launch In The UK

The Loupedeck photo editing console, which got a lot of attention from photographers when first announced last year, has finally made it to market and will be available from July. 

Late last year, the Loupedeck, a tool which looks like a mixing desk and is used to edit photos in Adobe Lightroom, soon got photographers talking and as a result, the team behind the device quickly reached their crowdfunding goal over on Indiegogo. 

Designed to work with both Mac and Windows-based computers, Loupedeck is a custom-built hardware console that provides total control of Adobe Lightroom. Akin to a DJ’s mixing desk, it features scrolling wheels, dials and buttons that enable users to edit photos and images without the distraction of a keyboard or mouse. 

Commenting on the device, Mikko Kesti, CEO of Loupedeck, said: "Loupedeck is a peripheral created by photographers, for photographers so there was never any doubt that what we’d conceived wouldn’t be relevant or game changing for our target audience, but to see the amount of backing and support we received through the initial Indiegogo campaign was exhilarating and encouraging after years of honing the prototype, countless long meetings and the usual challenges that start-ups today experience. We’re looking forward to hearing more feedback as our product becomes available across the globe and users get to touch and feel the console for themselves."

The Loupedeck is currently available for preorder from the Loupedeck online store for £325 and will be shipped to customers from 17 July 2017. It will also soon be available in UK retail stores.
