Bicubic: Is an appropriate setting if you work primarily with
photographs.
Due to a blurring effect, we do not recommend the Bicubic setting 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.
Pasteboard Color Use the color palette to select a color for the pasteboard area.
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.

File Open
Shows all previews in the Open dialog box.
Image Edit Lets you control how transparency appears when a paint object is in edit
mode.
No preview: Displays a checkerboard pattern to represent
transparency in an image. This isolates an image from background
objects, which can be helpful for editing complex compositions.
Items in background only: Displays transparency in an image during
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.
Preview all: Displays both background and foreground transparency
during image editing. This is the most accurate preview.
