I guess this post is inspired by your comment on my image http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=2530 isn' it?

I only use Ultrafractal. The only postprocessing I do sometimes is balance the color, luminance and contrast for the picture as a whole.

I don't think anything is wrong. A digital artist can use as many tools as he wants. Nothing bad...

It all depends on purpose, i guess... I you make a mathematical presentation on the structure of fractals, i think it would be a bad idea grin
In all other cases, why not? It's just another tool to express yourself.
In crafting there's rules, in art there's freedom.

NOPE!  I have been thinking about this topic for a while now.  Ohh but you have inspired me in other ways.  embarrass

I think that with too much editing, it stops being a fractal and starts being a graphic composition using fractals as a tool or component.  It's difficult to say where that line is, but I appreciate fractals largely as scientific things that are beautiful, so I personally don't care for too much editing.  I'm not a fan of fractal images that have a bunch of layers and are highly edited.  I'm the same with my photography.  A little color or contrast adjustment overall is fine, but I like to see (or show) the intrinsic beauty in things and not fabricate beauty by after the fact editing.

Pretty much agree with all you say.  I also do photography.  The only thing I would add is that I do play with turning a photo into abstract art; but that's a totally diffirent thing.  I pretty much have thought that your fractal should "stand on it's own"  I only thought about this when talking about the spring coontest Trifox mentioned that entries could be edited.

I have done it on occasions, but not very often.  And when I do modify a rendering, most times it is very little.

In my opinion, Right and Wrong are subjective, and therefore the levels are of your own making.

There are many discussions concerning post processing of fractal images, some may be found within these boards:

Thanks Nahee for links & added discussions. wink  I think it's wrong when the finished product looks nothing like original fractal.  That would definately be too much editing.. (yes I know a very simplistic answer) embarrass

I do it on most of my work. I think its part of what makes it art.
