Best Stream Deck Plugins and Profiles for Creative Work

Design tools, video suites, DAWs, and note-taking apps all pack in more features than any single workflow touches, spread across panels, tabs, and toolbars you rarely open. The one you need mid-project usually sits three menus deep, or behind a combo you can never quite remember. With Elgato Marketplace, you can find plugins and profiles that map those tools onto keys and dials, right where you're already working. Whether you're designing, editing video, producing music, or organizing a project, there's an option built for your workflow.

Built by Elgato and free to install, the Photoshop plugin integrates natively with Stream Deck. So tools, layers, and color adjustments are just a tap, touch, or twist away.

• Play Action: Trigger any Photoshop Action you have recorded, such as applying a gradient map or exporting to a set format
• Tools selection: Switch to Move, Marquee, Quick Selection, Pen, Zoom, or Magic Wand, and adjust brush size
• Layers navigation: Create, duplicate, merge, lock, or scroll through layers
• HSL control: Adjust hue, saturation, and lightness from a key or a dial
• Undo and redo: Step back and forward through edits without leaving the canvas
