The app runs quietly in the background until you call it into action, at which point, just like Digital Color Meter, it shows a loupe that magnifies the area around the mouse cursor.

Features:
  • New Magnifying Glass -- the original ColorSnapper magnifying glass -- introduced in 2010 and adopted by every modern color picker app since then -- just got even better! It works perfectly with multiple displays, different resolutions and with different pixel density. You can switch between Spaces and Applications having the magnifying glass on the screen while controlling it with gestures and keyboard shortcuts.
  • New Hi-Precision Mode allows you to choose every physical pixel on a retina screen, but also works great on displays with normal pixel density by increasing mouse sensitivity and magnification level.
  • Export to Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator® -- set foreground and background color in your favorite designer tool directly from ColorSnapper.
  • Capture loupe image -- new magnifying glass can be used as a review tool. Pressing P will copy the zoomed image to clipboard.
  • Favorites and History -- with ColorSnapper2 you can now organize, adjust and export colors without leaving the application. Add colors you regularly pick to the favorites or go back in time to hundreds of colors.
  • Adjust colors -- new user interface seamlessly integrates with the Apple’s Color Panel so you can adjust colors before you export them.
  • Quick formats filter -- just start typing to quickly search through more than 30 export formats.
  • Automatic color profile conversion -- converts colors picked from native OS X applications, including Safari and Xcode from the monitor’s color profile to sRGB. This means you’ll get the same RGB values as those used in your code.
  • Code style -- use flexible color values formatters to match your coding style. Along with all new supported formats, including CSS3, NSColor and UIColor, Swift, Android, Java, .NET, and many more, this results in even faster developer workflow.
