Loupe provides a magnified view of what’s on-screen under your mouse cursor — designed from the start to be easy on your computer while also being feature rich. Whether you’re a graphic designer needing to inspect artwork, or a developer trying to align UI elements, Loupe can help at a moment’s notice to give you a closer look.

Loupe also includes a fully custom, versatile color picker with a color palette of virtually unlimited size to store your favorite colors (or just the ones you’re working with now), a color mixer for making the perfect blend of colors, and even a customizable set of color harmonies that help you find just the right color palette.

Release notes:
This is primarily a bug fixing update, but a couple new features managed to sneak in anyway:
• Added the ability to display the mouse cursor in the magnifying window.
• Added support for pinch-to-zoom and mouse wheel scrolling to the magnifying window.
• Resetting Loupe’s preferences (by holding the Control & Option keys while Loupe starts) now allows you to first export the color picker’s palette and any color formats that have been defined.

Bugs squashed:
• When the option to ignore the magnifying window is active, the magnifying window is no longer forced to float above all others.
• Made the magnifying window’s info view visible on macOS 10.12 & 10.13 again.
• Emoji are now fully working in custom color formats.
• Fixed several low-resolution screen rendering bugs.

Please note: This may be the last version of Loupe to support macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and 10.13 (High Sierra). If this negatively impacts you, I would love to hear from you.
