Patti makes an excellent point! Funky computer, bad vision...sometimes there are extenuating circumstances. I do think, however, that David's initial idea of images being "spoiled by poor colour choices" is just that...a case where a some deliberate consideration to color could make an image more aesthetically pleasing. With respect to importing UF gradients into Apo, I just tried this and it worked fine: 1) Copy UF .ugr file 2) Paste into Apo gradient folder (in my case it is C:Program FilesApophysis 2.0Gradients) 3) In Apo, open gradient browser (File/Gradient Browser) and click on the little folder lower right. Browse to the UF gradient file. This help?
