END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

So I've been testing out Kalles Fraktaler for a few days, and I thought one of my zooms would render well with a stretched palette. The images generated from the main program appear fine. I then migrated the zoom sequence to the movie maker, and set stretched palette there too.

However, in the Test Only preview, the stretching of the palette behaves differently than expected in some places. Further Analysis shows that the palette stretching goes from the minimum iteration of the picture to the largest encountered iteration count. In some places in the sequence, the max iter jumps from about 10000 to ~30000 over the course of one zoom. This results in large portions of the image covered by a single color. This anomaly occurs more than once through the sequence, to the point where it jumps by over 100k iterations, a point which isn't reached again for many zooms.

Is this intended behavior, or is there something wrong with the generated kfb files? Thanks.

p.s.: I can post screenshots of the test anim to illustrate what goes on if requested...

It just seemed weird that stretched palette in Kalles Proper and stretched palette in the MovieMaker behaved differently.

And I understand how the interior offset would mess with the coloring. But there's the thing; we're nowhere near the minibrot when it occurs first.

I have attached images illustrating before the event, after, and where it balances out before occurring again to illustrate how odd this behavior is. Apologies for the low resolution. It was a test render.

I believe I understand. So is that why the max iteration becomes locked until another higher iteration count is present?
