With instant preview on, I got short delays after brush strokes. I guess it happens in the moment when A calculation of brush strokes is being finished.

Which is not a big deal when I'm painting something with really heavy brushes, because it happens only once after many strokes (maybe krita takes those strokes as a one big process)

But when I'm painting something with much simpler brushes with very few options, I got this delay after every one or two strokes.

I'm manually switching the mode with many brushes, but It definitely bothers me a bit.

Is there any way to prevent this?


+ btw 3.1 is unbelievably stable on windows, thanks to everyone involved in developing krita.

+ And It's normal that I can't do anything else(like making a new layer, cropping it...etc) until the calculation process of the Instant preview mode ends, right? I'm just wondering.

You can untoggle instant preview per brush instead of globally, it's on the lower-right of the brush editor. We're right now kinda puzzling on how to best update the default set for taking instant preview and other brush settings into account.

And I am glad to hear 3.1 is so stable :3

we definitely need to make the instant preview mode a bit smarter with when and how it functions. One solution a person came up with is to ignore Instant Preview if the brush size is under so many pixels. Instant Preview doesn't really start adding much of a benefit unless you have bigger brushes and your canvas is zoomed out.

We already tell quite a few people to turn it off if they are getting brush lag as a troubleshooting step.
