to help interactivity and faster updates for previews of changes in filters, would it be possible to draw a rectangle or square somewhere in the preview window and filter forge would only update that area, faster than the whole image.

so 8k images could have a smaller area to "preview" all the tweaks and settings before applying the filter ot the whole 8k image.

is this genius or what?!

Filter Forge has worked this way since version 1.0, and you don't have to draw anything: just zoom in to the needed area. The part of the image in the viewport automatically gets higher rendering priority.

We recommend another workflow: try tweaks and settings on a smaller image, and when you're satisfied set the final image size.

What GMM said - and multipass preview enabled in combination with zoom out.

What would make sense though is an adaptive mode that renders only the pixels needed for current zoom level (could replace the Reduced Preview concept). This would improve the performance while tweaking large images.
