Hi Tim,

I'm not sure where exactly you are in the tutorial, but I'm guessing it's at the point where you need to paste the julia seed in "Learning basic skills" >> "learning to use switch mode" >> "Synchronising the julia seed".

When you click on the blue higlighted parameters in the tutorial:
-0.2589852008
-0.1395348837

you will copy those parameters to your clipboard.

You then need to paste those parameters into your open fractal, by right-clicking on the blank field to the right of "Start value (Re):" on the formula tab of the Layer properties window, and choosing "Paste complex value" - see image.

if I have got the wrong end of the stick, please say so! Tina
