There are lots of great fractal programs out there. I use Vchira, Dust Fractals and Apophysis, for most of my work. Vicky (my wife) uses Chaoscope, Apophysis and Mind Boggeling Fractals for most of her work. All I can say is try one until you find one that clicks for you. I mean what use is a fantastic program if you can't figure out how to use it or your just not comfortable with it? Look farther back in the forum and there are links mentioned to several good sites for freeware ( my favorite kind). William/paragon5
