I don't think it would be a problem porting the map files, but the color values would have to be quadupled, since each channel only has 64 levels, opposed to the 256 provided by true color. And best of all, it's being designed by a panel of programmers etc, rather than compuserve... :) |If Fractint v.20 has a proposed graphic format change from gif to png, |will the new format be able to read the current map files?

I've gone in to about 1e8 zoom level, and I already need about 1 million (maybe 2 mil, I can't remember) iterations. I'm only in straight float mode, too! I could tell i didn't have enough, because there was a rounded triangle where a midget should have been... I thought odd, at first.

After I noticed one particular tip at Les St. Clair's page-in-progress, Fractasia, about using anti-aliasing, I started to look around for a program that would do this. As you may have guessed by now, I haven't found one. Paint Shop Pro (which I found at Simtel) doesn't do it, Graphic Workshop doesn't do it, and neither does the only other image software I have, Fauve Matisse. Except for paint, that is the limit of my graphical collection. You may notice a trend here--I tend to use the cheapest, most miserable programs on the planet. If some kind soul would take pity on me and point me to a cheap, miserable program that does anti-aliasing on the entire picture, I would be eternally greatful and might even update my web page. :) Blake Hyde ~ Casper ~ Novan Dragon Homepage: www.connectu.net/bhyde Email: bhyde@connectu.net - - - ------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@phoenix.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Apr 1998 23:02:00 -0800 From: "Jay Hill" Subject: Re: (fractint) New Colormaps > From: Peter Jakubowicz > > At 07:57 PM 4/4/98 -0800, Jay Hill wrote: > > >Now I hope Wizzle still has relevant data about each map.

I know this may be confusing, but there is a convenient and already compressed method of publishing and using colors available with Fractint. It is the way we include colors in our par files. These can be isolated and used, collected into a few relatively small files. Alloy me to repost my earlier example. Try the experiment and you will see how it works. Notice that the par files contain only information relating to colors and color cycling. They can be loaded in after another fractal has been computed. Then when you write your new par file they will be part of that par file. Also notice that comments can be included about the color map, its author, uses, constraints, etc. Jay - ---------- > From: Jay Hill > To: fractint@lists.xmission.com > Subject: Re: (fractint) Colormaps Ahoy > Date: Friday, March 20, 1998 6:37 PM > > > Hi wizzle, > > Try this experiment.

If you _really_ want Photoshop for free, shop around for a good deal when buying a scanner. They are often sold with Photoshop. That's how I got mine (for less than the cost of buying Photoshop alone). Oh, and make sure that it's the full version of Photoshop, and not some sort of "Lite" version that appears in some deals. - - - ------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for using Fractint, The Fractals and Fractint Discussion List Post Message: fractint@xmission.com Get Commands: majordomo@xmission.com "help" Administrator: twegner@phoenix.net Unsubscribe: majordomo@xmission.com "unsubscribe fractint" ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 05 Apr 1998 08:43:19 -0400 From: Jack Valero Subject: Re: (fractint) Photoshop 4.0 free At 01:08 AM 05/04/98 -0600, you wrote: >Hey, since everyone here is a graphics fiend/friend whichever you prefer, I would >like to know if anyone would like Photoshop 4.0 for free?.... >I can post it on my website.... >Let me know what you guys think.

But am I willing to call myself a thief for just a few $100? Naw... not worth it and I don't think you're doing me a favour by offering to turn me into one.

The net is *not* a private place and if an angry lawyer from Adobe comes knocking at your door, you've only yourself to blame. Personally, I'd prefer it if you do yourself and me a favour and let this list get back to the clean, friendly place it always has been. I don't think you're a horrible evil person but really, Photoshop is just not yours to give away.

This description, along with some images, came from Fracbac Fractals Home at http://www.lifesmith.com/fracbac.html Instead of iterating the fractal equation until the output value exceeds the blowup parameter and then identifying the color of the particular pixel which corresponds to the number of iterations it took, we establish a constant number of iterations, e.g., 200, and then graph the pixels in the fractal according to the logarithm of the resulting outputted value after the 200 iterations. Some rather beautiful results were achieved. To our knowledge this method has never been published before.

One of the effects for the user was called Stained Glass, in which each color band was separated from the next band by a thin line. The effect truly looked like stained glass and made for some beautiful images. Sadly, it cannot be created by using boundary trace in Fractint. Boundary trace is similar, but that thin line between color bands makes a big difference in the final ouput. Therefore, I would like to request this feature be incorporated into Fractint v.20, if possible. I would be eternally thankful.

And I think it retails for about $500. I have Corel Draw 7 which has both a bitmap editor and a vector graphics program as well as 3D (a lot for the $225 I paid).
