Title: Use of more than one program Post by: Wel lEnTaoed on October 19, 2010, 04:27:45 PM Do you use more than one program to create an image or animation?
Title: Re: Use of more than one program Post by: The Rev on October 19, 2010, 04:31:51 PM I always follow up with Photoshop, to adjust contrast and color balance and such, at least. Sometimes I process an image more (adding embossing effects, for example) to acheive a certain effect. I tend to process 2D fractals more than 3D.
The Rev Title: Re: Use of more than one program Post by: jwm-art on October 19, 2010, 04:42:21 PM I nearly always only ever use a single application to create a single image. Earlier this year I only used my own application mdz which is limited to the traditional banded colouring method of displaying the Mandelbrot (and only the Mandelbrot) set.
At this moment I'm quite into Mandelbulber and particularly the Mandelbox fractal. As far as post-processing goes, I tend to limit myself to those processes which require some knowledge of the rendered image beyond the colour of the pixels - so for instance I don't think you could do depth of field processing in The Gimp (or Photoshop) as easily as within Mandelbulber itself. I only use one program unless the importance of fractals to the context and/or subject of the image is minor.

Most times I just stick with one app.

This took 6 programs, but I just *LOVE* the result: (http://www.fractalforums.com/gallery/0/162_14_05_08_1_06_35.gif) Title: Re: Use of more than one program Post by: Bent-Winged Angel on October 19, 2010, 06:36:16 PM I agree that there is not one sufficient program.. here is an example of mixing ...
