I recommend you join the aphophysis discussion list from www.apophysis.org You'll then be able to download the latest version and read questions and answers that will help you. I was in the same situation you are now a few weeks ago, I tried it several times with horrible results. But by reading the list alone I could figure out some things and now I could make at least some decent images. Look at my gallery, the first two that show. Hope this helps, good luck! Barbara
