At last: control Adobe Lightroom Classic with the Elgato Stream Deck.

Turn the exposure, rate photos, apply presets or create masks: Lumapress puts the functions of Lightroom Classic right on the keys and dials of your Stream Deck. You decide which function sits where and build a control surface that fits the way you work.

For macOS and Windows · Lightroom Classic 15 or later · Stream Deck app 7.1 or later

What Lightroom users have been waiting for

No MIDI detour. No fixed layout. No second system in between.

Keys, dials and a touch strip are made for photo editing. Yet until now, Lightroom Classic could only be controlled through paid extensions or MIDI setups that take a lot of configuring.

Lumapress closes that gap. The plug-in talks directly to the functions of Lightroom Classic and turns them into freely assignable actions for your Stream Deck.

  2. MIDI setup
  3. Lumapress
Lightroom at your fingertips

Keys for commands. Dials for developing. Live values on the touch strip.

Lumapress uses what your Stream Deck model has to offer. On devices with keys you control commands, presets and masks. Stream Deck + and Stream Deck + XL add dials and a touch strip for direct photo development.
