Making previews display more quickly

The Use Pixel Doubling preference option speeds up the preview of a tool's or command's effects by temporarily doubling the size of the pixels (halving the resolution) in the preview. This option has no effect on the pixels in the file; it simply provides faster previews with the tools and commands.

To speed up previews:

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Display & Cursors.

2 Select Use Pixel Doubling, and click OK.
