Hello! I'm breaking my forum lurkdom to ask a question--I'm totally stumped & I know there are a lot of ultrafractal users here. Help a newbie out, please! :) I'm working on a kaleidoscope fractal (that is to say I'm using the kaleidoscope mapping mode/function). That's working out ok, but I saw a small are in the lower right corner that looked interesting & wanted to make a selection there & zoom in on it. However, whenever I do that, it recalculates the kaleidoscope using that as the center point! That's NOT what I am trying to do!! LOL I tried unchecking "use screen center" in the mapping section, but that didn't work. If I remove the kaleidoscope mapping, then that cool little section of the frac will be gone too. I even tried just dragging & zooming the whole thing, but it still recalculates & makes a new kaleidoscope. Argh!!! Is there a way to do this or am I just out of luck?? I generally do more asymmetrical fractals, so I haven't had this kind of problem before. Any suggestions/hints/tips would be most welcome!! Thanks in advance, Donna
