Nearest Neighbor :  will remove some pixel information from your image; however, if used, this setting will be the fastest. Bilinear :  will use a bilinear interpolation algorithm during downsampling. This setting can be used if you work with line art and may be applied to some photographic images. Bicubic :  is an appropriate setting if you work primarily with photographs. Note: Due to a blurring effect, we do not recommend the Bicubic set- ting if you work with line art. Auto :  is the optimal setting for interpolation of a photographic image. The Auto setting automatically chooses the best Interpolation option based on the image, its resolution, and current magnification. Transparency The Transparency options let you control how transparency appears when a paint object is in edit mode. No Preview :  displays a checkerboard pattern to represent trans- parency in an image. This isolates an image from background objects, which can be helpful for editing complex compositions. Background Preview :  displays transparency in an image dur- ing editing. Objects behind the image are rendered realistically while you edit. (If no objects are behind the paint object, the document’s white layout area shows through transparent areas.) Objects in front of a paint object are hidden during image editing. Total Preview :  displays both background and foreground trans- parency during image editing. This is the most accurate preview. Object Caching Keeps screen images in memory so the display refreshes significantly faster when you move or edit objects. This is the recommended option. If you deselect this option, less memory (up to 4 MB) is used for screen display, but displaying complex images might be very slow. Tip Nearest Neighbor setting merely gathers pixel data from the “Nearest Neigh- bor” of each pixel, therefore Interpolation does not actu- ally occur.
