I started out with Tierazon which I found the easiest to understand then graduated to Fractal Explorer, Apophysis and Ultra Fractal in that order. I still use both Apophysis and Ultrafractal as they make different types of fractal. You can get Tierazon here: http://home.houston.rr.com/fergusonsc/Tierazon-v29/ and it's free. Hope you enjoy whichever programme you choose - beware it is very addictive - if you need any more help just email me. Mags
