"Use Precise Clipping"


Recommended Posts

"Use Precise Clipping" is an option in the "Performance" preferences. The manual doesn't refer to this by name, but under the performance options topic it does mention "Choose a clipping option for optimizing (sic) performance.". Can anyone please elaborate on what this does? For the stuff I'm working on I'm not seeing any visual difference in the display.

This allows to display a vector shape edges with Antialiasing when the fill layer is in it.

Thanks. Methinks the option needs renaming or at least the manual should be updated with a precise descriptions.

For those who are curious about what this does, here is a before after:

It should be on by default IMHO (if it is not already) to avoid surprise and searching. Users can still tweak performance on their own if they have problems.

 

Glad to have found a solution, anyway :)
