NEW Logitech Console: Best Companion for Photoshop?

Attention all Photoshop users: It does NOT work with Adobe Camera RAW! The device thinks you are in Photoshop and displays only the Photoshop tools that don't work in Camera RAW. So you cannot edit RAW photos with it in Photoshop. It only works with Lightroom Classic. But there are many users who work directly with Bridge and Adobe Camera RAW in PS! Absolutely disappointing and misleading, for me the device I bought is unusable!

Loupedeck+ beats the living sh*t out of this for a couple more bucks. Or the Loupedeck Live S which is way cheaper.

This just seems designed for a shift towards tablets or something, or simply a dumbing down of the concept of shortcuts. Especially at $200. Then again there are people spending $500-1000+ for iPads and styluses only to do what you could with a $5 notebook and some Microns.

The more you have to take your hands off of something to use something else the less efficient you become.

I think the Tourbox is a far better device to the Logitech release, NEO is what I use, and it is one device that has completely transformed my workflow immensely no matter the program I am in. I understand the pitch but this is not it for those looking for something stellar.

loupedeck to me seems "better" as it has more knobs

Will this work on menu items that DON'T have a shortcut available? I use sky replacement often, but there is no keystroke shortcut. Could I use this as a single-button option?

ive been WAITING for something like this. looks even better than what i'd imagined. dope!

In my opinion, it's just fun. Everything can be done with a keyboard and a tablet. In my opinion, this does not speed up the work, but even slows it down.

Its just gamic tool not for graphics designer waste of time and waste of skill waste of money

why dont they make a full keyboard like this

To access a lot of functionality with keyboard shortcuts can be a pain to manage. A LOT of shortcuts to remember. Easier to have it set to a button with a graphic that says what it does. Instead of pressing a combination of different buttons, you just press one.

And it can be used with many different programs so why not?

I have a Loupdeck+ and it’s great for lightroom but very tricky to program for photoshop. I have spent a few days now programming it but there is much that doesn’t work and things that are hard to make work in a good way.

The adjustment turning knobs work great in lightroom but in photoshop? Not so much. So that is an unfortunate thing.

But I have managed to program a lot of functions, actions and so on for easy reach. Also I have had ctrl, shift, alt and space working in a convenient way but it was very tricky. the keyboard mode doesn’t work that well. It gives you access to keyboard functions but ctrl, alt etc doesn’t hold even when I am holding down the key. I had to program my own keyboard shortcuts for each function that I wanted like for example CTRL and then map it to a button of my own choice. I can for example easily use ctrl and space to zoom in with the mouse at a certain point as I have ctrl and space just beside each other. Works just as good as with my keyboard. Functions for layer handling/navigation, show/hide mask etc is easily accessed.

Only thing I don’t like is that I can’t seem to get the turning knobs to work in photoshop. It’s weird as they are physically there so they should easily be made to work as that should be what they are intended for. But they work great in LR though without any programming. They just work out of the box throughout the entire develop module.

One gripe with it is that I have to remember what button does what. The MX Creative Console is certainly better in that regard that you can see graphically what the button does.

I guess that to be able to have full control over PS, one would need to combine 2 or maybe even 3 differerent devices. I think the panel with the screens and buttons would work well in combination with my Loupdeck+

I also think the price is very good. I don’t think it’s too expensive. It’s reasonable for the functionality that you get.

I have seen other gadgets that try to take you away from the keyboard. Designed by someone who
thinks they know best, but hasn't spent a lot of time actually using Photoshop.

That's a great tool! I'll go drop one in my cart and, oh, $200? Nevermind. Now I shall forget I ever knew this existed.

God but what is the price and where is available.

The knob is cool but I would rather get a stream deck and do the same thing minus the Knob. Stream deck+ might be able to control things with it's knobs. Not sure.

TourBox is way better and cheaper.

Meanwhile, my Logitech Craft keyboard, the one with the "creative input dial", has been abandoned. Not even Logi's own software, "Logi Options +", supports it.

I've been using Monogram's Pallette for years and wondering how this compares to it

I have been using the Tourbox Neo for a few years. The device is cheaper and more versatile, allowing to adjust all parameters in Photoshop with a wheel, including filters and Camera Raw parameters. The device can be linked to all applications often used. Major drawback: The functions assigned to buttons and wheels need to be remembered (or checked in the Tourbox app).

that's really badly designed.. we've had such consoles in the audio world for a long time.. and many of them can track the mouse location and the wheel would then control whatever slider/selection the mouse would hover over.. just allowing for such a mode would make it so much more usable.. and 9 shortcuts .. for the next nine i'll have another klick.. and if i want to get to page 9 - 9 clicks?? you could easily map them to your numpad etc.. that's just not very useful in practice i feel.. but if i get 3 months of free cc then it might be worth it i guess.. still.. trying to declutter my desk, not to put more stuff on it..

Cool device, how unfortunate that it's catered to Photoshop
Adobe more like Ahdoubtit

this is a huge game changer of macro keyboards. i cant wait to start selling here in brazil.i always wanted a device like this with so wide range/easy options and display keys, instead the shitty and limited macro keyboards wich are annoyng to configure

you complain a lot bla bla bla it's expensive bla bla bla i got used to the keyboard shortcuts. this is the type of thing that to some doesnt seem like a must have but becomes so when you start using it

colorizethis AI fixes this (AI image colorization). New Logitech MX Creative Console

This is a bad idea packaged into what seems to be a good idea.
Sure it may seem that this can make you fast and productive, but soon you'll be so dependent on it that you would not be able to quickly function without it.
Stick to keyboard shortcuts and you will be able to be useful on all situations.

Looks like a spin off from the Loupedeck devices. Logitech. Ought Loupedeck and their IP.
Loupedeck CT (€500,-) is the bigger brother of the device, it os more ergonomic and yes very much more expensive. But worth every cent, esp if you create your own profiles.

Who needs this if you have keyboard and a mouse?

Super actions one button away

Logitech is soooooo late in this.. Elgato FTW

The most useless Logitech I've ever seen.
I perform keyboard shortcuts without looking, using muscle memory and over 20 years of experience - why would I throw all that away to relearn a tool that's slower and requires looking away from the Photoshop screen? That sounds ridiculous.

Wow. I'm very impressed. Thank you.

Why dont you simply buy a loupedeck+ which does all including the lightroom sliders and color gradation for almost same price, also why would you buy this Logi device with so many compromises and limitations

Looks pretty awesome. But at $200 US dollars, that's insane. I'm in Japan so it costs the equivalent to $380. Brutal!!!

Useless 😢 only 9 buttons

So... we have: A mouse or pen, keyboard, the wheel module, the buttons module and.......only two hands...maybe Logitech could help us with some voice control!

overpriced joystick

Bro i am student of multimedia application from malaysia. Last month, I take my friend photo for his birthday. But the photo didnt show full of his face. His upper head was cut. He want this photo before deepavali. Van you help me.

i am allready doing littly whole things with my keyboard and mouse extra buttons ..so easy ..no need for this ...unless you want to show off

I really feel mouse and keyboard shortcuts are more easier for me.. May be those who don't like to work with shortcuts they might find this useful.

Thanks, Not useful.

Since 99% of users in India prefer using cracked versions of Photoshop rather than spending a small amount like ₹1915 per month for a subscription, do you still believe anyone would spend ₹16,000 to buy this item? 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much

Does this support Luminar Neo .?

BROTHER EUGGGGG 👹💩

Just picked up one at Adobe Max, can’t wait to try it

So expensive!!!

I'll stick with the Xencelabs Remote Key.
