Rending - the in-built filters, applied to formularies, makes choosing the fractal pattern virtually unlimited.

Arctan gives you 3D look. Try all of them, anyway.

Anti-aliasing.  Well, you've made a great picture, saved it and when you try to manipulate it it looks grainy or blurry or colour faded?  I've got caught on it too, when just started. The reason is you didn't anti-alias the image. It is simple - make XY(three yellow boxes one inside another one) size 4 times larger than you need and press Anti-alias in an "Image" option. It will increase resolution of your fractal. You can then optimise it in any editing program. Never save in JPG in Sterling - try BMP. Later you can convert image to JPG in editing program.

Another hit- use open option when choosing the fractal you were working with, but use "load" those 'Loo' files to actually change it.

Have fun, playing with a program, if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me
