Your Fracfan account has been activated now my friend... I'm on the opposite side of the planet here, and the time zone differences are a doozy... thank you for your patience...

Check out Claire Jones' tutorials too - well written, well researched, and she makes suggestions of things to try for different effects also.

Gradient choice will have a fairly large influence of flame detail too... I've been known to spend hours finding just the right gradient to bring out small details in some of my images... grin

I'll definitely check out Tara's tutorials - I could do with a refresher course... lol!
