Drawing modes and quality

Start with the default or Balanced / Auto, then compare a fresh preview after changing one setting.

Goal Starting choice Tradeoff
First attempt Balanced / Auto General balance of time and recognizable detail
Short drawing round Extra Fast Prioritizes shapes and speed; fine details may be omitted
More small detail Pixel Accurate More planning work and mouse actions; allow extra time
Clear simple contours Quick Sketch Emphasizes outlines rather than complete shading

Extra Fast

Uses connected paths and suitable outline/fill strategies to reduce drawing work. Fill is useful only with supported controls and suitably closed regions; unsafe or unsuitable fills fall back to strokes. It cannot guarantee a complex photo will finish within any chosen timer.

Pixel Accurate

Prioritizes coverage and detail. Actual results still depend on palette, brush width, planning resolution, target canvas and timing. It is not a guarantee of exact source-pixel reproduction in every drawing app.

Drawing mode versus quality preset

A quality preset changes the detail/speed balance. Smart paths, Lines and Dots describe how marks are delivered. Smart paths connects nearby pixels to reduce actions; dots can be much slower. Start with Smart paths unless the target needs another method.
