Beautiful work!

Soothing and intriguing to the eye, at the same time. Was the original orange or red, then?
Should I bet you edited it in Paint? There is SOME noise at the periphery, but since most of the 'action' is taking place at the core of the fractal, it does 't count all that much. The core itself is clear and intricate enough for the eye to lose itself in it, discovering new delights and details every time. Even if I am not a blue lover, I'd let myself be taken in by this one without resisting

I don't know if it is noise or just a bad resolution. The original was the one that gave Nice Little Monster.

So gold colours.

The negative colours are not very effective with the etched forms because it changes what is highlighted in this script.

That looks really awesome. I love the swirly look.

...
Don't you always use the same resoluion?

So, golds turn blue as oranges and reds do.... interesting.
Yes, etched forms is all about relief... And if as a negative the light colours become dark and vice versa, all the reliefs are reversed too... With, I suppose, a very different aspect from the one expected at the beginning. I guess it shpuld be taken into accoint when you choose to turn an etched forms into a negative... since you know what to expect, now...

Well it's just that some of the flames are clearer. I used to use a low resolution like 500 in the render box but recently I've done them higher.
Since I don't want to sell large prints I didn't think it mattered if there were a lot of pixels or not.

Doen't really matter... and you can still increase reolution if you feel it does... Maybe start by increments, see what happens, at what level of definition the render suits you... (Who am I to give advice on Apo....?)

Thank you Sue: that is so sweet of you

What Gamma setting do you usually use? Lowering the Gamma will reduce the noise, although it -can- cause other issues) I normally use around 2.0 - 2.5. The latest version of Apo tend to default to around 4.00.
