I was taught Ps in School. But it was around 8 yrs agot (2013) when we had our last class. After that I almost forgot about the basics of Ps. This guy here taught me during the last year lockdown. And now, (atleast) I can edit my own photo. Thanks
Unmesh, you really are one of the best channels on RU-vid. As someone who can't afford school for graphic design you've helped me so much with honing my skills. I always refer back to your videos anytime I'm unsure of something. Thank you, my friend.
I have to say, I cant express enough how appreciative I am of the fact that you dedicate your time and channel as a resource for people to use and learn from. You have helped me to advance my Photoshop skills exponentially. Thank you for all that you do!!
Umesh fighting muscle memory is easily one of the funniest parts of this video. I feel you man. After such a long time of being a keyboard king, it's so easy to not even think about.
I have the same feeling with this as I did/do with Elgato's streamdeck. It has a lot of helpful tools, a good interface and it really does seem like something that once it's part of your workflow and muscle-memory, it will speed up and ease up your workflow immensely. But at €499,- it's just not worth it over the keyboard you already have or getting something a bit more diy like repurposing an external numpad as a macropad. If it were priced around €299 it would still be expensive, but the benefits would weigh up to the price more. Especially for online creators and artists who work from home instead of a massive studio/design space, which this seems to be marketed towards. This is a great review though, it's nice to see someone actually use more examples and also point out the bugs that are still in place. Thanks Unmesh!
It doesn't really matter😅. I started more than 15 years ago but I didn't put in enough hours and there was no RU-vid. I guess your question gets you as close as possible since no one counts the hours, but you'll see people with far less years do a better job. Specially now with widely available resources.
@@Cola-42 same thing happened to me. I started over 10 years ago but i didn't get enough experience and i took a long break when i didn't have a computer.
Unmesh Sir ! main aapko Kaafi saalon se follow kar raha hu ! aur Chris Do ke saath aapko dekhkar aur bhi khushi hui! Agar aap ek hindi channel bhi bnaye apne hindi samjhne wale bhaiyon ke liye toh aur bhi maza aa jaega!! I hope you get my point! Thanks and Love you for your work.
I got 6 customizable & programmable mouse buttons, a 3-axis mousewheel, half a dozen programmable Keyboard Custom Keys plus F-Keys, a fully programmable pen tablet! - everything for much less than 200$ !
I finally pulled the trigger on a mechanical keyboard for working. I realized I spent a good portion of my day pushing buttons, so it seemed sensible that I made that repetitious action more pleasurable. It was worth it. Now I don't need to push as hard, what with the tactile, audible feedback of the blue switches. All that to say, if you work on a computer, you deserve finger pleasure.
The glitch with brush roundness and brush angle is very real and an issue with Loupedeck and Adobe as it may actually be an Adobe Photoshop issue as it seems their brush reset causes the brush pre-sets to get wiped back to first brush you have loaded into photoshop. There are bugs in the Loupedeck and or Adobe Photoshop software that unfortunately means that the Loupdeck CT can't operate to its full potential yet even when you've use custom commands etc. I'm hoping it will get there over the comming months?
Probably way more functionality for my personal needs but the smaller cheaper loupedeck live looks ideal for my use case. I could definitely see myself using such a product to create single click shortcuts for my most often repeated processes like " cntrl J " and stamp visible layer 😀
He did a tourbox video? Im gonna go find it right now! Anyway I got rid of the Loupedeck CT because of the TourBox and StreamDeck, I couldn’t find a reason to keep a $550 device that doesn’t from what I could tell, do anything different
Thanks I needed lessons in how to control the hardness of my knob !!!!!! Sorry but could not resist - I have one of these; bought it when they first appeared - after a few days of fettling it becomes intuitive - it is ace - came here to see if I can do better - apparently I can - so thanks for some super info once more.
@PiXimperfect *your intro made me believe I was on a musical channel as I pressed a thumbnail with a PS symbol on it. Suddenly saw your pic after the intro made me shock Realising it was just your intro.* 😂
My friend made me a micro controller using arduino, 12 buttons and 4 continuous turn, that i can map it easily. It also can be use for midi or drum pad controller too. If I’m not mistaken it cost me around $50 for him to make and 2 double cheese burger meal sets when he handed over to me. I found this micro controller is useful for me only when I need to use tablet pen because I’m left handed. Not shortcut friendly. Other than that, I pretty much memorise most of the shortcuts and using mouse on the right hand.
@@dandiehm8414 I beg to differ. That's half the price of a good laptop lol I'll stick to using keyboard shortcuts and the menus at that price point. Not that I can't afford it I would just never buy it for $600. The price should be half that. These companies are just greedy.
@@fist_bump I agree but how long do you have to use it before it pays for yourself? As for me, I don't make a ton of money using Photoshop. Maybe you do? I'm strictly commenting about myself and my opinion. My two cents...
@@dandiehm8414 I think it's price gouging and anything you say here won't change my mind. No need to debate. I just commented how I feel. I think it's a ridiculous price and if you don't think so, all good, keep it pushing. You have your opinion and I have mine.. If you disagree with me that's cool.. Have a good day!
@@dandiehm8414 Ok let me rephrase that for you then. I'm gonna say that it's not "price gouging", I'm gonna say it's over priced lol How about that? Good with you?
I tried this device out but returned it to the shop. It certainly has potential, but isn’t quite up to the job yet. First of all I found the large touch screen too sensitive. If you touch the sides of the touch screen you also activate a function. Resting your fingers in between the LoupeDeck logo and the screen made me make errors. Also the turning knobs on the right side can not be controlled with your left hand unless you position your hand in an awkward position as you keep on touching the round touch screen. And you need to turn a knob too much to go from -100% to +100%. It should be logarithmic depending on the speed you turn the knob, fast turn = large increments and slow turn = smaller steps. Also some programs like Affinity or Capture One are only supported by keyboard commands, not an API. I did like the overall feel of the device, the knobs click when turned and the buttons have a nice mechanical feedback.
Thanks for your video(s) - always a pleasure to watch and listen. I'm a CT user and updated Loupedeck-software to 4.3.1 and the brush rotating bug is still there. I'll will send this information to Loupedeck too.
Its me again: The bug is only a visual bug. If I select a non-usual brush and use the CT to change the brush rotation: Yes, the visual presentation of the brush changed. But the brush is still the brush I seleted. So I'm not sure: Is it a Loupedeck- or Adobe-bug?
I have my Loupedeck CT setup for retouching. For the life of me I can't get my dials to rotate view so when I'm dodging and burning and I get a different view.
its a cool product for showcase if you are a photoshop enthusiast but im sure not many professionals are using this because we all have our workflow and muscle memory and changing to a new set of buttons can be time taking and really reduce our work output and time is money :)
Greatest Product ever I seen. By the way your all tutorials are one the best around the world keep it up. Which microphone and stand to hang it use please bro tell me I’ll want to buy them.
I mean... the major problem with this product is that it's not even remotely ergonomic. In fact, it probably requires more movement than you'd need to just use a keyboard.
@@n0f4ke74 that has little to do with it. Twisting a bunch of knobs, and moving your hands around that much is worse than just using the keyboard. There are plenty of ergonomic USB controllers, and devices out there that have a million buttons, and don't involve crazy movement. My only complaint is that many of these devices are made for right handed people when not everyone is right handed (such as myself).
great timing, ive been looking at the CT and the Live wondering which to get.... this was a fabulous look at the CT in action....I want it but its such a high price im finding it hard to justify..... The Live has a better price point but i still can not decide if the loss of the bottom half will make me regret not spending on the CT....still in the balance on which one......
For anyone who doesn't want to spend $550 because your on a budget. Go buy a $200 stream deck and then hotkey bind actions to it, you can even add little photos to the buttons so you know what your clicking.
Let's be real here. Most of us isn't going to buy the product but watched through the entire video anyway. It would be interesting to see it in action live though. Who else thinks that a second channel where Unmesh just edits and shows his finesse onscreen would be a great idea?
it´s good for lightroom to make batch or something, but PS is simplier to script every key on keyboard for function you like, no need to spend 500 dollars for a midi controller
I purchased an older version of this. While it's a cool concept it's really not practical. If you are proficient with PS or LR then, this is a completely unnecessary device. Your muscle memory will let you fly thru an edit on PS or LR but will take a really long time to learn the same simple edit on this. Don't get me wrong, its cool but I highly doubt you'll use it when you need to edit and time is of the essence.

@@ReluctantStallion has he been using the Loupedeck for as long as he's been using shortcuts? No? Ah.... It's almost as if the longer he uses the LD he might get more efficient with it. It's like saying a bicycle is too gimmicky because you can run faster than you could go on the bike when learning it. Sure, technically true, but you know what continued use and developing new muscle memory can do for that scenario. Critique it because it's an overpriced device, not because he "looks at it" - because he hasn't spent 100s of hours with it yet remapping his mental/physical work flow with a new device (presumably)
