How to mirror Photoshop window to iPhone/iPad screen for mockup/development?

Is it possible to live preview a photoshop document on an iPhone or iPad? I tried it with VNC, but it only transfers a limited range of colors which is suboptimal. Is this possible with Apple's Developer Tools?

Solution

  • I came to this page with the same question. looked at the answer --> the app --> reviews and decided I'd use what I had to get it done. The results are awesome!

    Requirements:
    Iphone /Ipad App: Air Display ($9.99)
    Photoshop CS4+

    1.) Download Air Display.

    Air display is by far the best app out there for mirroring or creating an extra screen with your iOS device. I looked at all flavors of VNC/DNS. VNC is for screen sharing and the results don't exactly make you cheerful. Air Display uses your iOS device as an extra screen like your desktop setup. $9.99 is premium pricing but well worth it. There are many uses for the app after you buy it. Check out their site here:

    2.) Setup Air Display

    These instructions are covered in the app. You'll end up with this sort of setup:

    Take into account your hot corners.

    3.) Create a mirrored window for your document

    4.) Setup your window
    A new document tab will pop up with the same name as the original. Drag this tab to your extra screen and there you go. Mirrored photoshop on your iOS device!

    Now this new window will mirror the document on your main screen. The great part is this new photoshop window can be set up with its own View attributes (guides, rulers, etc). Here's some more tips:
