Description
Ferryman Fractal & PSP.
I wasn't sure to name this one 'skindeep' or 'the dive', but well I picked one :D
Quite some people seem to have problems to get started with the ferryman, so here's a little tutorial to get you underway:
-First thing to do after opening the program, is to open a new blank document.
- A box will open and you fill in the size and name for the project, than click 'ok'.
-You will see a raster after you have done this, but no fractal.
-Now you go to 'layers' and select a new layer.
- a small block will open in wich you can name the layer, select julia or mandelbrot, and the boundaries of the parameter. When you're done with that you click 'ok'.
- A fractal will now appear over the raster.
- you can modify the fractal with the box at the bottom right called property editor.
- at the top of it you see the words 'general', 'color', 'iters', 'escs' and 'tunes'.
-under 'general' you'll see a line defining the color now used; click in the line to add a color, and doubleclick the little triangles underneath it to modify each separate color.
-you can also adjust the blending modes here, and when you click on the box and scroll downwards you will find the quality settings.
- under the other tabs above the individual modifications, you will also see a map-opening icon.
-click this icon, and find a lot of possibilities.
I think you will manage to go your own way now ;-)
Hope to have got you underway, but if not here's a link to Span's own video tutorial:
