Loupedeck plugin needs to be activated in Photoshop before Loupedeck can be used.
When Photoshop is fully running, open Plugins menu:
- Click on "Loupedeck",
- Select "Connect Loupedeck"
Loupedeck Info panel is opened.
It will initially show "Disconnected" but will swiftly update to show that connection is established.
Note! Loupedeck Info panel needs to be opened each time Photoshop starts to create the connection. After the connection is made Loupedeck Info panel can be closed.
Tip! We suggest that Loupedeck Info panel is minimized and left on Photoshop's desktop - this way you don't need to open it from the plugins menu again (but you still need to maximize the Loupedeck Info panel to let it connect).
