How to show a bit map clearly in the viewport?

When you need to trace some shapes using a low res image, it is not fun. Lines are really fuzzy and its hard to see edges, especially in the viewport. I usually use a hardware display and it helps.

When you turn on show map in view port, default is standard. You need to hold down the “show map in viewport” button and you will see another option (1). Select right side option, it should be hardware display.

















If it is turned on and an image didn’t show (black out), the image size might be too big for this. Reduce the image size and try again.
