October 7, 2014 By Eric Reagan

Show Focus Points Lightroom Plugin

Show Focus Points is a new plugin for Adobe Lightroom 5. The plugin does just what the name says – finally allowing you to see focus points in your photos from Lightroom.

It also reveals other focus info like focus distance and focus mode. Currently, the plugin only works with Canon and Nikon DSLRs, and only in Lightroom 5. It supports both Mac OS X and Windows installations.

Best of all though, the Show Focus Points plugin is free for now. Check it out here on the Show Focus Points website.
