![]() The Contour Shuttle Pro can be used with practically any software on your computer, for example, the dial may scroll in your web browser, change the brush size in Photoshop and change the font size in Microsoft Word, and the buttons can be assigned to different shortcuts in each program. Likewise, the Wacom tablet can completely replace your mouse or trackpad in every application. ![]() You’re not limited to a specific screen layout (although you need to be able to see the sliders, of course), and all of the keyboard shortcuts work as normal. Unlike some of the other gadgets we’ll review, the Shuttle and Wacom tablet are very flexible. Some recent Wacom tablets have 6 buttons and 1 dial, which could be used in a similar way, although I generally just use the pen/touchpad. Unlike some of the other gadgets I’ve tested, you can’t access Develop or Local Adjustment Presets using the Shuttle, however since you already have the pen (or mouse) in your other hand, it’s not a problem to simply click in the Presets panel. The trick is to float the cursor over the slider you want to adjust (using a mouse, trackpad or graphics tablet) and then turn the dial on the Shuttle, which gives you access to every slider in the Develop module. This is much more accurate than trying to move the slider itself, which improves efficiency. You’ll find my favorite settings for the Develop module here. ![]() The Shuttle Pro has 2 dials and 15 buttons, and you can program them to suit your needs, using any of Lightroom’s native shortcuts. Can anything knock them off the top spot? We shall see! For many years, my favorite Lightroom gadgets have been the Contour Shuttle Pro v2 and Wacom Intuos Tablets.
