Important Update: End of Loupedeck Sales and Future Development Plans

Effective today we will no longer be selling the Loupedeck product line and will focus on future development of the Logitech MX Creative Console, launched in October 2024, and its ecosystem.

Remaining Loupedeck inventory will continue to be available through authorized retailers while supplies last. This does not mean we are ending support for Loupedeck products. Warranty claims and technical support will continue as usual.

And thanks to the shared backend platform between Loupedeck and the Logitech MX Creative Console, introduced in software release 6.0, Loupedeck owners will be able to use future software updates and plug-ins developed for the Creative Console.

We are dedicated to delivering continued improvements and support for Loupedeck products.

We are deeply grateful to our community for your unwavering support, valuable feedback, and passion over the years and we are looking forward to working with you on future updates and projects.

Logitech remains steadfast in its commitment to innovation, striving to deliver impactful solutions that empower and inspire our creative community.

Loupedeck Software update unveils a new UI, Phillips Hue plugin, and much more

New Loupedeck Software version 4.3 introduces preview into our new UI, simplified profile for easy streaming, as well as native integration to Philips Hue and added language support in German, French, Korean, and Japanese.

A simplified creative process can help you stay focused, produce faster, and take more creative risks. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a preview into our new User Interface and simplified profile for Loupedeck Live – now available in Loupedeck Software version 4.3. We’ve also added a new native integration to Philips Hue for both Loupedeck CT and Loupedeck Live, as well as added language support in German, French, Korean, and Japanese, available across all consoles!

Stream seamlessly with new update for Loupedeck Live

Streaming live means constantly being in the moment, and connecting with people, while simultaneously switching scenes and sources and jumping between apps and tools.

Our new Loupedeck User Interface and simplified profile for Loupedeck Live make controlling your stream simple. It offers easy out-of-the-box support for Twitch, Spotify Premium, OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, and Philips Hue, and is perfect for streamers who are just starting out.

Alternatively, the Classic UI with more in-depth customization and advanced functions will still be accessible in the latest update.

Meet the new UI & simplified profile

Within the new Loupedeck User Interface, profiles are centralized so you can easily access your plugins, now labeled with icons, from the Actions Panel. To make things even easier, all plugins include a filter tab, so you can find your favorite actions fast!

On the Loupedeck Live console, pressing the dials to the left and right of the touchscreen now lets you switch between fixed pages, where you can assign your actions straight from the Actions Panel or create a custom action directly to a touch button.

See the new Loupedeck UI with the simplified profile for streamers in action!

Our new Loupedeck Software version 4.3, includes added language support in German, French, Korean and Japanese for some of our most popular native plugins, including Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro.

Control your lighting setup with our new Philips Hue Bridge plugin

We just brought unlimited creative control to a whole new level! Now you can set the mood of any space directly from your Loupedeck CT or Loupedeck Live with our new native integration with Philips Hue Bridge. Add singular lamps, lighting groups, and scenes, and instantly access your hue lights with our new Control Center feature. Expanded functionality will be added in the coming months!

Moody on Instagram: Meet Thomas Kakareko

Thomas Kakareko (@thomas_k) is one of the most successful German photographers on Instagram. In conversation with Loupedeck, he talks about his journey and his work with Loupedeck CT.

HEY THOMAS. TELL ME, HOW DID IT ALL START?

To be honest, it was almost by accident. I joined Instagram shortly after it launched at the end of 2010 and convinced a friend to sign up as well. At first, the content was pretty unspectacular, with lots of snapshots and cat pictures. The whole topic of sharing pictures or content, in general, was really not that that big of a topic back then.

WAS IT YOUR PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING TO BE A PROFESSIONAL INFLUENCER?

the plan is definitely not the right word – the platform was still totally new back then, and the term “influencer” as we use it today didn’t even exist yet. I was unhappy with my studies at the time and was looking for a way to break out. That’s when Instagram appeared as a welcome and promising change.

HOW DID YOU DIVE INTO THIS NEW PASSION IN THE BEGINNING? WAS IT MAINLY LEARNING BY DOING FOR YOU AS AN AUTODIDACT?

Of course, as a career changer, I had a lot of catching up to do, not only in terms of practice but also in theory. Once my passion was awakened, I threw myself into the subject and absorbed everything I could find. I read a lot, looked at old masters, and tried to sharpen my eye. The first two years were mainly characterized by wild trial and error until I found my style in street photography.

WHAT WAS THE FIRST MILESTONE FOR YOU IN YOUR CAREER AS A PHOTOGRAPHER?

My first collaborations were an important step for me to feel legitimate as someone who just started doing this professionally. I started to perceive myself as a photographer, to admit that to myself. Sometimes I almost had to remind myself: you’re a photographer, you get paid for your work, might as well call yourself a photographer. But it was also the general appreciation for my work, my creative output, that meant a lot to me.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT STREET PHOTOGRAPHY THAT YOU LOVE?

Well, it was definitely the biggest topic on Instagram back then and my first point of contact with photography, which then quickly developed into a passion. When I’m out and about with my camera, I observe a lot, feeling almost invisible. This allows me to capture real moments and genuine moods, which has an incomparable appeal for me.

Catching the right moment turns an everyday moment into something significant. Timing is essential because otherwise you quickly slip into the banal; one second can make all the difference. Once you’ve achieved that a few times, you’re quickly out there every day trying to replicate it.

HOW HAS YOUR INSTAGRAM SUCCESS AFFECTED YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY?

Of course, classic street photography became more and more difficult the more reach I had. That’s when people would recognize themselves or their friends and link to them in the pictures. That’s great, of course, but also not the point.

I have my golden rule that I only publish images that are flattering to the subject. Still, of course, not everyone agrees to their picture being shared publicly, especially with the reach of my channel. That’s why I’ve evolved my visual language in recent years, away from people and more towards urban landscapes.

HOW DID YOU USE THIS UPHEAVAL TO DEVELOP YOUR STYLE?

From the beginning, my images were very emotionally charged. Now that people are not the focus anymore, I try to provoke emotions differently. To do this, I work a lot with light and mood, color combinations, complimentary contrasts, but also exciting geometric elements like lines of houses. What emotions are triggered in the end in the viewer you can never know, but as long as something is touched on the inside, I have achieved my goal.

HOW DO YOU COPE WITH THE INTEREST IN YOU THAT COMES WITH BEING AN INFLUENCER?

It’s a daily challenge and rather difficult at times. I’m very introverted, I much prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it. On the other hand, of course, I understand that for my followers it’s not just the final pictures that are exciting, but also what happens behind the scenes. If you want to be successful, you can’t avoid showing your face. Who is the photographer, what is the process like, how do they get the results, that’s what I want to show more of.

DID YOU SOMETIMES STRUGGLE WITH THE DECISION TO RELY ON INSTAGRAM?

Sure, there were moments when I doubted, asked myself – what are you doing here, dropping out of college for a few pictures shot on mobile. But I didn’t let this insecurity show, and today I no longer struggle with it. I’ve been successful on Instagram for more than ten years now, I don’t have to prove anything to anyone anymore, and that is quite relieving.

It’s definitely a demanding platform. You have to be active all the time, and if you don’t post for two or three days, it’s directly reflected in your reach. It’s not easy, especially with creative work. If you have a blockage, don’t like your own work, or just don’t feel like it – “taking a break” is unfortunately not really an option, you have to keep going.

Of course, even though I sometimes grumble, I’m still happy to have been able to make a living from it for so long. I’ve had a lot of support, met friends all over the world, and for that, I’m eternally grateful.

YOUR IMAGES HAVE A DISTINCTIVE STYLE. HOW DO YOU DEVELOP IT?

On an Instagram profile, the last dozen published posts are displayed at the same time, and that’s also my business card for potential customers. For the aesthetics, it is therefore important that the images have a certain consistency, that there is a common thread.

I achieve this mainly with the help of my personal presets, in which I invest a lot of time when creating them. Then I have them ready at hand on my Loupedeck CT, and often I know exactly which preset fits the image at first glance, and then all that’s left is to fine-tune it.

I’ve developed a certain rhythm because after a few months I get bored with the presets and start to create a new set. Generally, it stays in the dark spectrum, but I experiment with hues and temperature, evolving to keep it exciting. My followers always notice right away when I try new things.

WHAT IS THE BEST STEP IN EDITING FOR YOU?

My images feature a lot of black and gray and get tension and balance from light or strong complementary contrasts, so working with curves is the most important step for me. That’s where I get the most impact, giving images my individual style. I try out a lot until I like the result. In general, I definitely have a soft spot for dark tones and gloomy moods, that’s my personal aesthetic.

The Loupedeck CT helps me tremendously to get the most out of my images. I can make super-precise adjustments in the curves without having to take my eyes off the image. It makes me feel much closer to the image, and I can intuitively realize my vision.

HOW HAS THE LOUPEDECK CT CHANGED YOUR WORKFLOW?

If you’ve been editing images for many years as I have, you’re pretty stuck in your ways. So it was exciting to completely break down my process, tweak it, and reassemble it with the Loupedeck. It took a little getting used to, of course, but I can do every step that I used to need the mouse for better with the Loupedeck CT. I’m always surprised at how much more direct editing feels now.

TO WHOM WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THE LOUPEDECK CT?

I recommend the Loupedeck CT to all my colleagues who edit images professionally. Not only has it turned my workflow around and improved it, but it also brings me much closer to the image while I’m working.

On an Instagram profile, the last dozen published posts are displayed at the same time, and that’s also my business card for potential customers. For the aesthetics, it is therefore important that the images have a certain consistency, that there is a common thread.

I achieve this mainly with the help of my personal presets, in which I invest a lot of time when creating them. Then I have them ready at hand on my Loupedeck CT, and often I know exactly which preset fits the image at first glance, and then all that’s left is to fine-tune it.

I’ve developed a certain rhythm because after a few months I get bored with the presets and start to create a new set. Generally, it stays in the dark spectrum, but I experiment with hues and temperature, evolving to keep it exciting. My followers always notice right away when I try new things.

WHAT IS THE BEST STEP IN EDITING FOR YOU?

My images feature a lot of black and gray and get tension and balance from light or strong complementary contrasts, so working with curves is the most important step for me. That’s where I get the most impact, giving images my individual style. I try out a lot until I like the result. In general, I definitely have a soft spot for dark tones and gloomy moods, that’s my personal aesthetic.

The Loupedeck CT helps me tremendously to get the most out of my images. I can make super-precise adjustments in the curves without having to take my eyes off the image. It makes me feel much closer to the image, and I can intuitively realize my vision.

HOW HAS THE LOUPEDECK CT CHANGED YOUR WORKFLOW?

If you’ve been editing images for many years as I have, you’re pretty stuck in your ways. So it was exciting to completely break down my process, tweak it, and reassemble it with the Loupedeck. It took a little getting used to, of course, but I can do every step that I used to need the mouse for better with the Loupedeck CT. I’m always surprised at how much more direct editing feels now.

TO WHOM WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THE LOUPEDECK CT?

I recommend the Loupedeck CT to all my colleagues who edit images professionally. Not only has it turned my workflow around and improved it, but it also brings me much closer to the image while I’m working.

The Suited Racer: Closer to the vision

With demand for his artworks strong, Griffin’s star is rising …. fast. Here, he reveals his working methods, his approach to photography and the passions that drive him to succeed.

HEY THOMAS. TELL ME, HOW DID IT ALL START?

To be honest, it was almost by accident. I joined Instagram shortly after it launched at the end of 2010 and convinced a friend to sign up as well. At first, the content was pretty unspectacular, with lots of snapshots and cat pictures. The whole topic of sharing pictures or content, in general, was really not that that big of a topic back then.

WAS IT YOUR PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING TO BE A PROFESSIONAL INFLUENCER?

the plan is definitely not the right word – the platform was still totally new back then, and the term “influencer” as we use it today didn’t even exist yet. I was unhappy with my studies at the time and was looking for a way to break out. That’s when Instagram appeared as a welcome and promising change.

HOW DID YOU DIVE INTO THIS NEW PASSION IN THE BEGINNING? WAS IT MAINLY LEARNING BY DOING FOR YOU AS AN AUTODIDACT?

Of course, as a career changer, I had a lot of catching up to do, not only in terms of practice but also in theory. Once my passion was awakened, I threw myself into the subject and absorbed everything I could find. I read a lot, looked at old masters, and tried to sharpen my eye. The first two years were mainly characterized by wild trial and error until I found my style in street photography.

WHAT WAS THE FIRST MILESTONE FOR YOU IN YOUR CAREER AS A PHOTOGRAPHER?

My first collaborations were an important step for me to feel legitimate as someone who just started doing this professionally. I started to perceive myself as a photographer, to admit that to myself. Sometimes I almost had to remind myself: you’re a photographer, you get paid for your work, might as well call yourself a photographer. But it was also the general appreciation for my work, my creative output, that meant a lot to me.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT STREET PHOTOGRAPHY THAT YOU LOVE?

Well, it was definitely the biggest topic on Instagram back then and my first point of contact with photography, which then quickly developed into a passion. When I’m out and about with my camera, I observe a lot, feeling almost invisible. This allows me to capture real moments and genuine moods, which has an incomparable appeal for me.

Catching the right moment turns an everyday moment into something significant. Timing is essential because otherwise you quickly slip into the banal; one second can make all the difference. Once you’ve achieved that a few times, you’re quickly out there every day trying to replicate it.

HOW HAS YOUR INSTAGRAM SUCCESS AFFECTED YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY?

Of course, classic street photography became more and more difficult the more reach I had. That’s when people would recognize themselves or their friends and link to them in the pictures. That’s great, of course, but also not the point.

I have my golden rule that I only publish images that are flattering to the subject. Still, of course, not everyone agrees to their picture being shared publicly, especially with the reach of my channel. That’s why I’ve evolved my visual language in recent years, away from people and more towards urban landscapes.

HOW DID YOU USE THIS UPHEAVAL TO DEVELOP YOUR STYLE?

From the beginning, my images were very emotionally charged. Now that people are not the focus anymore, I try to provoke emotions differently. To do this, I work a lot with light and mood, color combinations, complimentary contrasts, but also exciting geometric elements like lines of houses. What emotions are triggered in the end in the viewer you can never know, but as long as something is touched on the inside, I have achieved my goal.

HOW DO YOU COPE WITH THE INTEREST IN YOU THAT COMES WITH BEING AN INFLUENCER?

It’s a daily challenge and rather difficult at times. I’m very introverted, I much prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it. On the other hand, of course, I understand that for my followers it’s not just the final pictures that are exciting, but also what happens behind the scenes. If you want to be successful, you can’t avoid showing your face. Who is the photographer, what is the process like, how do they get the results, that’s what I want to show more of.

DID YOU SOMETIMES STRUGGLE WITH THE DECISION TO RELY ON INSTAGRAM?

Sure, there were moments when I doubted, asked myself – what are you doing here, dropping out of college for a few pictures shot on mobile. But I didn’t let this insecurity show, and today I no longer struggle with it. I’ve been successful on Instagram for more than ten years now, I don’t have to prove anything to anyone anymore, and that is quite relieving.

It’s definitely a demanding platform. You have to be active all the time, and if you don’t post for two or three days, it’s directly reflected in your reach. It’s not easy, especially with creative work. If you have a blockage, don’t like your own work, or just don’t feel like it – “taking a break” is unfortunately not really an option, you have to keep going.

Of course, even though I sometimes grumble, I’m still happy to have been able to make a living from it for so long. I’ve had a lot of support, met friends all over the world, and for that, I’m eternally grateful.

How Loupedeck+ enhanced Jayzombie’s photo editing workflow

Have your photographic methodologies or technological considerations changed over time, or does this sound too geeky / scientific?

They’ve absolutely changed! I went from taking photographs on Polaroid and film cameras as a kid to disposable cameras as a tween and teenager, to a 35mm film camera for photography classes in school, to a crappy point-and-shoot camera in college, every generation of iPhone and eventually a Canon 5D Mark III. My editing process has followed a similar path. I didn’t think much about editing until I took film courses and got to work my images in a dark room. When the App Store came to iPhones, I downloaded every fake-Polaroid and filtering app that existed, and after I got my DSLR, I downloaded Lightroom for the first time.

Now, my arsenal includes my 5D Mark IV, iPhone, Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Mobile, Loupedeck, and Priime photo filters on both desktop and mobile. Oh, and I still have an entire bookshelf filled with film cameras, old and new, that I’ll forever cherish for teaching me all about photography through much trial and error.

It has been well documented that back in 2011, you became employee #5 and Community Evangelist at Instagram. After leaving the company in 2013 (following the buyout by Facebook), do you feel that your historical links to Instagram have been partly a ‘blessing’ or a ‘burden’ to you in terms of career since?

It’s absolutely been a blessing. Building the Instagram Community, especially working with professional photographers on the platform, has helped me make incredible connections and friends who have given me invaluable guidance, job opportunities, and a community of commercial photographers I’m so blessed to call my friends here in Los Angeles.

Working in a corporate (but youthful) environment like Facebook, even if it was only for nine months, helped me develop communication skills that I use all the time when working with ad agencies and clients. Being responsive and clear with my communication, as well as general professional, but still fun, keeps clients coming back to me. At least that’s what I like to tell myself. The pretty photos might actually just be enough!

The first thing that captures the attention when looking at your work is the rich suffusion and intensity of color that permeates nearly every image. There is an almost otherworldly/fantastical hyper-realism at play in some images…the ‘pinkest’ pink, the ‘reddest’ red, the ‘greeniest’ green. Why is this?

I touched on this a little bit already, but I’m mostly just following my gut on those decisions! It’s absolutely intentional, but I’m not exactly sure why. Mostly, I just find it pleasing. It’s what I’m most drawn to, so I keep going back to it.

Likewise, it is hard to find anything in your portfolio that might be labeled ‘black-and-white’ in the traditional sense. Why is this?

Oh, that’s a great follow up question. Sometimes black-and-white makes me feel like my personal expression is being stifled or stuck. I learned my technical skills shooting black-and-white film, and I loved it at the time, but I also know that while I was shooting black-and-white, I was very much out of control of my emotions. I was manic, reckless, and young. The technicality, structure, and limitations of black-and-white film photography and development helped provide me with some much-needed structure, but I wasn’t putting any of my feelings into that art. I was following the motions but not seeing myself reflected. I see myself, my personality, my fears, my optimism, and my joy in my colorful work.

What were your very first impressions of the Loupedeck console?

My Loupedeck was a gift from my husband after a dry spell at work. He wanted to get me a gift that would reignite my passion and help me WANT to sit at my computer and edit my photos. It worked! I opened the box and thought, “Oh, this is going to be so helpful and fun!” We set it up in less than five minutes and I spent the rest of the day editing photos from a trip I had completely ignored for months.

YOUR IMAGES HAVE A DISTINCTIVE STYLE. HOW DO YOU DEVELOP IT?

On an Instagram profile, the last dozen published posts are displayed at the same time, and that’s also my business card for potential customers. For the aesthetics, it is therefore important that the images have a certain consistency, that there is a common thread.

Flying in the Arctic wasn’t so easy with an early-stage drone. There were crashes and a few lost machines before getting to my current comfort level.  And although the technology has improved, it can still be tricky. Especially working and flying in the arctic. It’s more complicated because of the lack of satellite signal, interference with magnetism and northern lights, thankfully with practice I’ve learned how to get beyond drone limitations.

Shooting a white landscape in either sunny or overcast conditions can pose technical challenges. Yet each of your images embodies that luminous quality of snow reflecting light without compromising highlight or shadow detail. How much of that look do you owe to accurate exposure versus the work that you do in post-processing? How does editing with Loupedeck+ play into this light-balancing act?

In this white world of the arctic, it’s always a matter of making sure your image is not over or underexposed. Loupedeck helps me to edit much faster. Coupled with a Benq calibrated screen I can routinely achieve highlight balance that accurately depicts the gleaming white of snow without losing detail.

Loupedeck’s wide-ranging adjustments can be used to correct a variety of technical issues in the post. In knowing that this is part of your toolkit, has your Loupedeck+ emboldened you to take any risks or allowed you to become more experimental when shooting?

I haven’t gotten to know Loupedeck+ well enough quite yet to take huge risks, but I’m slowly testing the boundaries. Coupled with the wide dynamic range of new cameras, I’d say that by using Loupedeck+ I’ve been able to push my creativity.

Do you have any tips on specific Loupedeck+ settings and techniques that you feel are essential to your post-editing process?

Like anything new, it requires some time to feel confident and to commit the various functions to memory. But because the design is intuitive, you can become familiar with the console rather quickly. Ultimately, practice is the key to developing skillful use of the Loupedeck+.

Is Loupedeck+ integral to both your video and stills photography editing?

Most of my experience with Loupedeck+ has been editing stills in Lightroom. This has greatly helped to boost my creativity by allowing increased control over my images. I’m not as experienced editing with Loupedeck+ in Premiere or FCPX,  but I am due to begin a video editing project next month for the release of a new documentary called “I am Fragile,” and I’m very excited for the opportunity to have a hand at editing the project using the Loupedeck+! I’m looking forward to seeing what creative tweaks are in-store and anticipate that it will save me even more time in Premiere than it has in Lightroom.

How has using Loupedeck+ changed your editing experience? Are there any major improvements in your workflow from the point of image capture to the final edited image?

Loupedeck+ is a beautiful tool that has both unlocked greater creativity in editing my images and allowed me to work much faster. It has become an integral part of my production chain together with my computer, calibrated screen, and printer. So far I’ve been using it in the studio setting, but I’m looking forward to the opportunity when I can take it on future expeditions and see what’s it’s like to work with it out in the field!
