Coloring the new layer

Let s apply a different coloring algorithm to this new layer.

Click on the Outside tab of the Layer Properties tool window and then click the Browse 

  button.

G     

Select the Triangle Inequality Average 

coloring from the browser s right pane and click 

Open.

You can immediately see the new coloring applied to the 

The 

Triangle Inequality Average

fractal. These colors are OK, but let s take this 

coloring algorithm

opportunity to learn more about gradients.

G     

First, open the gradient editor by selecting Gradient from the Fractal menu.

We could adjust the control points on this gradient, or generate a random gradient as we learned in 

the 

Basic Skills

 tutorial, but we can also load a pre saved gradient.

G     

To load a pre saved gradient, select Replace from the File menu.

The "Select Gradient" browser shows the pre saved 

gradient files that come with Ultra Fractal and any 

gradients you have saved or imported.

Opening and saving gradients

G     

Click on the Standard.ugr gradient file in the 

left pane of the browser window and Grayscale 

in the right pane. Click Open.

The pre saved Grayscale gradient has now been loaded into the gradient editor and the active layer 

of your fractal.
