Title: feature ideas for Kalles Fraktaler
Post by: istinn on November 06, 2014, 10:38:51 AM
First of all many thanks for this fast and well working software, I have just started to explore this.
As far as I can see inside capabilities of this software, I will suggest some ideas for better user interaction and results improvement.

here is my short list:

kalles fractaller usefull feature request and evolution ideas

1. presets for palettes with next previous selections organization in main window
this can be palettes and/or images in a specific folder

2. undo function

3. a real pan function instead of zoom scale to "1"

4. give zoom a more precise capability for better "frame" definition, unlock full zoom scales with a classic zoom window, or ender a user input
custom value between zoom 1 and 2

5. randomness, a) location (with zoom range, inside set, or near limits), b) randomness on a single user preset (locked colors, only
(key,devide,offset) color parameters participate)

5. Quick save as image (jpg) function + button that saves fractal render alongside fractal saving at the same time for reference, with a name like same_name_as_the_rendered_image*.kfr

6. save as png/tif 16-bit for more color depth on post processing on render engine

7. posibility for transparent background on out of set pixels (8-bit or 16-bit png), useful on post processing

8. antializing filter options

9. More blending, symmetry, or kalidoscope capabilities that can be explored and rendered

10. More useful fractal types (Julian?)

Hi istinn

Thanks for using Kalles Fraktaler and for your feedback!

Your suggestions are good and I will give a quick reply:
2. There is an undo function, if you select "Cancel" in the color dialog the colors will be restored.
4. Can be achieved by manipulating the zoom value in the Location dialog
5. I don't really understand this.
5 (again) This function has been removed because of many problems with it. If you really want it back I can put it back :)
10. Any help with this would be much appreciated: http://www.fractalforums.com/new-theories-and-research/perturbation-for-julia/

thanks for your quick reply!

2. meaning undo I would suggest at least location undo from the beginning to the end of a fractal drive! just buffered location points
4. I have used this, it works but it is frustrating to use values instead of a frame, and it is time consuming
5. Not really a big deal. More or less it is a spatial location randomness idea, maybe useless. But a randomization button for values on those color parameters could give some good color combinations just by a click.
5-(again!) Yes. it could save much time. Just a save as (both jpg and kfr at the same time), if it is a button you can add a quicksave suffix in a auto date driven file name, so there is no need to write a file name, just use an auto increment by date. Just click "quicksave" and your work is there in your predefined path with the current image size (idea from jwildfire software).
