Best Preview app

Use it frequently with Photoshop! Thank you very much!

Great… when working

Adobe Preview, Design Mirror, Canvas— I’ve used them all over the years— they were unstable, buggy, or eventually stopped working all together. To be fair, Canvas is the most feature rich device preview to date. Also, it could very well be iOS, Windows or even the Routers privacy/firewalls are conflicting. I hope it’s soon resolved— device preview is indispensable.

Perfect replacement for Photoshop Preview. Why can’t Adobe do this themselves? No matter. Works with Photoshop 22. Thanks Gary!

If you’re having trouble connecting, make sure that Private Address is turned OFF for your wi-fi network on the iOS device.

Crashes Adobe Photoshop 2021 on Windows 10

Canvas for Photoshop looked like an appealing alternative to Adobe Preview CC as it's free and easy to use. But after opening a document in Photoshop with Canvas connected, a "Crash Report for 'Adobe Photoshop'" window appears, disconnecting the Canvas app from Photoshop. I tried opening different documents in other formats, connecting Canvas after opening a document, but I couldn't get it to work. This is my review until there's an update to Canvas or Photoshop that resolves this problem.

Could be good....

Sorry but, just not working in iPhone 8 Plus and photoshop CC2019. Has crashed 4 times while ‘getting image’ and waiting at least 5 mins on that image. Seems to be exactly what I want though so I hope the issues are ironed out as I like to use it. Given up for now though.
