As fractals go in this era of multi-layered and transformed images, today's image might not be considered worth its rating of an exceptional 8. But after trying those options, which are features of another program and draw images that may or may not be considered real fractals, I rejected them, and decided to stick with the more traditional methods of rendering my fractals.
as I have the feeling, you´re adressing me....
I think Jim was mainly referring to programs such as UltraFractal where you can actually generate several fractals (and non-fractals) each within it's own 'layer'. Then merge all those layers together as graphic editors tend to do, such as Adobe's Photoshop. Though the idea of merging fractal images has been around long before UltraFractal implemented it (and other fractal generators did it first), it seems to be the latest rage for the 'artist' or would be graphics person. And this fine as well, for it does introduce fractals to those who might never have shown an interest.
I´m happy that a fresh wind is blowing in Fractalia and that I could do my part to keep it alive.
I too am glad to see many of your formulae and parameters creating activity amongst the List and it's members. Looking forward to any and all that you continue to share here. :-) Sincerely, P.N.L. ------------------------------------------------- http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/PNL_Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/
