New Loupedeck+ Photo Editing Console available in US through ExpoImaging, Inc.
Loupedeck+ Features Upgraded Build Quality, Expanded Customization, Skylum Aurora HDR Compatibility, and Capture One Beta Integration.
SANTA CRUZ, CALIF. (PRWEB) JULY 30, 2018 – Finnish innovator Loupedeck, developer of the Loupedeck photo editing console built with an intuitive design to make image editing faster and more creative, has announced the console’s next evolution, Loupedeck+. Loupedeck+ is now available in the United States through its new distributor, ExpoImaging, Inc.
Following a year of overwhelming success, Loupedeck redesigned its popular photo editing console incorporating valuable feedback from the enthusiastic photographic community. The original Loupedeck launched as a custom-built editing tool for Adobe Lightroom. The new Loupedeck+ offers improved build quality and adds compatibility with popular photo editing software Skylum Aurora HDR, beta compatibility with Capture One, new control functions, and expanded customization options for more advanced users.
Loupedeck+ improvements:
- Improved build quality, including new mechanical keys
- Expanded customization options with new “Custom Mode”
- Configuration 2.1 software produces a faster and more stable photo editing experience
- Compatibility with Skylum Aurora HDR and Beta integration for Capture One
“We’re extremely excited to introduce this next evolution of Loupedeck to the U.S. market,” said ExpoImaging CEO Erik Sowder. “The response to the original Loupedeck was overwhelmingly positive, and Loupedeck+ improves further on the Loupedeck’s thoughtful design.”
“We know how dedicated both the professional and amateur photography communities are in their work, and we’re committed to making their lives easier and more productive,” said Mikko Kesti, Founder and CEO of Loupedeck. “There’s no better way to create the next evolution of our flagship product than by going straight to the source and taking their feedback to heart. By adding even more control, efficiency and customization options to the editing process, we’re able to help photographers be more successful by increasing their output and artistry, and look forward to continue supporting them in their work.”
Following Loupedeck’s new partnership with Skylum, the Loupedeck+ will include future integrations with Skylum’s other professional photo editing products, including Skylum Luminar.
“Skylum and Loupedeck share the same vision. We want to help photographers create great photos, differently,” said Alex Tsepko, CEO of Sklyum. “When I discovered that the new version of Loupedeck keyboard is coming out, I knew Skylum software should be the first to support it. This is the kind of innovation modern photographers really need.”
Capture One users will also be pleased to know that Loupedeck’s new Configuration 2.1 software has been released with beta integration for Capture One. Loupedeck+ controls function the same as with other software for those Capture One functions supported by keyboard shortcuts.
The Loupedeck team is also working on additional software compatibility targeted for later this year. Loupedeck’s continuing goal is to provide photographers with a more diverse, intuitive experience, helping to expedite the editing process and maximize the photo editing experience.
