![]() My first attempt at using this was for processing a wedding. I settled for Knobroom, as Midi2LR doesn’t work with Lightroom 5. It turns out there are several software solutions available for this task, including Midi2LR for Windows and OSX, ‘Knobroom’ for OSX and ‘Paddy’ for Windows. ![]() With a bit of further research though I came across Korg’s Nanokontroller 2 – a cheap but good quality USB Midi controller. This is then connected to Lightroom with the use of a plug-in. It’s essentially a rebadged $50 midi controller and Pfixer’s own software ($99). At first it seems quite a bargain at $180 if you use Lightroom professionally. There are many out there including the excellent Pfixer Minimal by Pusher Labs. Essentially hijacking a music industry peripheral and repurposing it for Lightroom. I have had my eye on other possible solutions for quite a while including Midi consoles. VSCO Keys has since been reborn as open source software – but it’s far from intuitive to customize and the lack of support for Mac users gives it limited longevity. It worked well, until late 2015 when VSCO mysteriously pulled the product and support – including future compatibility with OSX El Capitan. VSCO Keys was an elegant solution, albeit expensive, that mapped keys to Lightroom’s many sliders and controls. ![]() VSCO Keys was one of them, which I used until quite recently. These may be ok for a relatively small amount of images, but when you are processing hundreds of photos it’s easy to become fatigued. One area in which it does suffer though are the adjustment sliders. With large numbers of images, Lightroom is an absolute must for most photographers.
