Great idea! The cross-platform nature of the project worries me. How buggy is it? Apple has made it really hard for third party services like this to deploy at all, let alone reliably.
My vote for a quick fix here would be for DxO to allow users to customise shortcuts, adding almost every function (not just menus) to the list of actions which are allowed shortcuts. I’m not suggesting that DxO include default shortcuts for relatively obscure actions, but some users might use certain actions very regularly and would benefit from a specific shortcut.
A shortcut customisation screen is not an area where a new user would have to tread and it’s out of the way. DaVinci Resolve does custom shortcuts very well including them right under the application menu.
If DxO is that nervous about giving end users this power, enabling the custom shortcuts menu could be a preference.
Bonjour,
Je viens d’acheter une console Loupedeck CT à utiliser dans un premier temps avec Premiere Pro.
Mais utilisateur de OpticsPro et Photolab depuis plus de 10 ans, je souhaiterais une intégration de Photolab dans Loupedeck ou des raccourcis claviers pour les palettes Lumière Couleur et Géométrie (commandes de base) qui puissent être utilisés sans intégration directe dans Loupedeck.
DXO m’a dit travailler dans le sens d’une intégration, mais je suis effaré de constater aujourd’hui que les premières demandes datent de 2019 !! et que rien n’a été fait.
Si rien ne se passe on devra passer à Lightroom.
Most people who own Loupedeck products are not that happy with them. The first version looked promising but then Loupedeck kept cutting corners on manufacturing quality.
Some kind of API for easy use of external interfaces would be great.
More useful suggestion: try TourBox. It’s knob can easily work the sliders in PhotoLab. Really helps reduce carpal tunnel syndrome from holding a slider down on a big photo edit. No need for the Elite bluetooth edition. The cheaper cabled one works better on macOS (the bluetooth doesn’t auto-connect).
Hi @uncoy , thank you for this recommendation. How simple was it to set TourBox up to work with PL? Was this done though the TourBox software, or by other means?
You mentioned to not consider the Elite version, so are you referring to the ‘Neo’ model instead?
I’d be looking to use this on a Mac the majority of the time, but depending on need I may use it on a Windows laptop should I find myself out on the road for more than a couple of days at a time.
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Thanks @uncoy for making us aware - whatever helps being more productive with PhotoLab is more than welcome.
As I hadn’t heard about Tourbox so far I did a little check on the tourboxtech.com website - and surprisingly there is an official DxO-Tourbox-setup available dated late June/early July 2024 … at least the creator of the preset is named “DxO PhotoLab Official”. (it appears also a user “DigiCampix” has spent work on providing a DxO PhotoLab setup).
To me this activitiy of DxO went entirely unnoticed as haven’t seen any note on the DxO website or in this forum on it.
@uncoy: Have you used the DxO-setup on your Tourbox as a starting point or have you done all by yourself with the help of the “TourBox Console” software?
They do not respond but probably read it, seing how they recently change their communication on their website to be more in line with reality and seeing some argumentation in their web communication.
Some aspects seem to correlate with some reactions on this forum.
Probably but having read it doesn’t mean they will act on it. Mind you, I suppose that’s also true of using the official support channel to submit a feature request.
