🎨 What is Adaptive Image Rendering?
Astropad Studio 5.4 introduced Adaptive Image Rendering, a new feature that reduces artifacts and pixelation when your screen moves quickly.
🚀 When You'll Notice Smoother Performance
You'll see improvements with high-motion content when:
Rotating objects in Blender
Panning or zooming your canvas
Previewing animations
Scrolling through web pages or projects
Editing or watching video
⚙️ How to Choose Your Mode
Adaptive Image Rendering is automatically enabled. Astropad will adjust based on what you're doing, but you can also pick a mode:
Automatic: Astropad adjusts automatically for the content
Best for Drawing: Lowest latency, may show some pixelation during fast motion
Best for High-Motion Content: Smoothest for fast motion, slightly higher latency for drawing strokes
Change your setting anytime in Astropad Studio Settings > Performance (desktop app).
💡 Recommendation: For most users, "Automatic" works best.
