Loupe: Screenshot Magnifying Thingy

Loupe: Screenshot Magnifying Thingy

Today’s freebie is a set of loupes, you know, those magnifying zoomy things we overlay onto screenshots to show more detail. You know what I mean.

Turns out I love loupes, I love how such a simple element can add that little something to a design. If you’re having to scale down images/screenshots to fit into designs, why not try a loupe to highlight a small area of detail? Do it.

P.S. The screenshot I used is from Apollo which you should definitely check out.

  1. Awesome Orman – I have been looking at creating on of these for ages, but never got around to it. This is going to be super handy!

  2. Great stuff dude! Really nicely organised PSD too, very easy to use.

    Orman-

    Just wanted to thank you for the great resources you provide. Your design skills are impeccable. Thanks again.

    • Thanks Doug, I appreciate the kind words!

  4. Laura

    I just finished to do a page where I would needed this stuff…now I think I’ll redo that! ;D Great great job. Amazing!

    • Let me know how it turns out, be interesting to see!

    Another gold nugget! However, as a novice I have a plea for you: Do some simple (no voice) screen casts when you create these PSDs (could just be selected ones) and charge a one-time/yearly $9 fee for access to this learning material. I’ll be the first one to sign up! In any case, thanks Orman!

  7. Now this is a nice little thingy that have immediate use for! Thanks orman :-)

    • BAM! Sounds good, I’ll look out for it!

  8. Is Loupe the actual name for it? I did not know that… You learn something new everyday… Thanks for the freebie… :)

    • I didn’t know either, thankfully I have some very well informed Twitter followers.

  9. Orman,
    Catch you on Twitter where you linked, in a very funny way, to this great tool that I’ve actually wished I had. Thanks so much for the freeby. BTW, love this theme with the sort of stationary left column. Needs color, tho – in addition to grey and white.

    Very nice. Thanks for the resource.
    I’m not someone who uses other people’s resources but when there as good as this and i cant achieve them myself then its a handy.

    Thanks Orman, I’m not a pro, so I can use all of the help I can get. These will get some use for sure.

  14. Thank you so much for this, I can think of a few recent projects it would have been perfect in but I’ll sure have uses for it in the future ^^ Cheers!

    @ Daniel Paul :
    In fact, “Loupe” is a french word which means “magnifying glass”.

    Thanks Orman for this great freebie :)

    • Thanks for the extra info! :)

  16. Johannes

    Thank you very much for sharing! :)

  17. Great idea. Both for mock-ups on hard paper that I use as well as interactive tablet based thingies.

  18. Thanks Orman for this cute design element…

  19. Dude this is sexy. I could have really done with this a few months back with my last Admin Theme. I had to create my own version but it’s nowhere near as good as this, nice one.

  20. Really useful…
    thanks for this

    will use this for our website as well ;D

    It took me a while to figure out how to code it, but i implemented this into one of my pages, so thank you it is a very good looking, yet simple, piece.

  22. Herby

    Great! I’m a Newbie with PS Elements 8 – is it possible to install Loupe in this Software?

  23. Jessica

    This is like Christmas!
