Yup, Panny's got it right. Also, if you want to save the trouble of re-opening that fractal just to use the gradient later, highlight/click the gradient window, Click "File", choose "Save as" and save it with a title like "Lotsa Reds like my eyes on Monday Morning.ugr" :?) to your "Gradients" folder in UF. Then, whenever you want to change a gradient to one you have saved, right click the gradient window, choose "Replace", browse to your gradients folder and select the one you want to use. Rick
