Title: Any chance of recovering a lost formula by showing some image examples?
Post by: chaos_crystal on January 02, 2012, 10:12:02 PM
I had a gorgeous full sized fractal which I made some zoomed in JPG files off of; but in going back and Undoing, I accidentally un-did the original and there seems no way to recover it. I haven't the foggiest clue which params I used to achieve this unique effect. It was one of the best I've ever seen (on my own screen, that is  :angel1:) and it is so frustrating that it is probably gone forever, save for those few JPGs made from it. Yes, I looked thru my fractals folder on the HD and it isn't there... But the zooms are there. If I show these, does anyone around the forum have ingenuity enough to suggest params that would give me a similar result, just by viewing the JPGs that I have?

These are probably Newton fractals

Yep !
4th degree newton fractals.

I hope you're right! Maybe in another year or so, I'll run across something similar to that again. Shame I got mixed up and missed saving the params. But if those are 4th degree Newtons, I'll go back in there and see what I conjure up.

New idea for a game for the gamers around the forum: post images like those of mine and let everyone *cue game show music* Guess The Parameters...  ;D
