I'm also kind of new to this program too.  It does take it a while to render but I've been reading (and saving) tips that I have gotten online like using a smaller size so that it will take less time to render.

I still have a couple of "help" files to help me but it's going to take some time for me to learn.

I do also have the Ultra Fractal Program which seems a little bit more easier for me - probably only because I have had it longer - but it has soooo many options.

I'm including a render that I made with apophysis - just some simple candy canes - but ooooh it took me a long time to even create this!

I think the program has a lot of potential - its just that it will take some time to really get the hang of it.
