The Iconfactory and ARTIS Software are pleased to announce xScope v 3.0. xScope is a powerful set of tools that you can use to measure, inspect and test on-screen elements. Version 3 has been redesigned for clarity, optimized for the latest Macs, and brings over 70 new features and improvements that are sure to make your job as a designer or developer easier.
Version 3 also adds a new tool called the Mirror. xScope’s Mirror tool constantly displays the contents of a specific Mac window on your iOS device. As you work on a Photoshop document or the iOS Simulator, what you see on your Mac is mirrored instantly onto the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad screen. Mirrored windows can be nudged and locked so that they always display on iOS even when re-positioned or placed under other windows. In addition, when mirroring a Mac window on iOS there is no chrome to get in your way or repetitive save actions to perform.
The Mirror tool requires a companion app that is a FREE universal download from the App Store. Be sure to check out our video demo of the Mirror tool in action for more information.
We encourage you to visit xScopeApp.com to read the complete list of what’s new, but here are just some of the other highlights version 3 has to offer:
