Smooth (Mandelbrot)

The Smooth (Mandelbrot) coloring algorithm creates smoothly colored 

outside regions with fractal formulas such as 

Mandelbrot

 and 

Julia

.

It works with most divergent fractal formulas. For 

Newton

 and 

Nova

fractals, use 

Exponential Smoothing

 instead.

There are two parameters available: Exponent and Bail out value. 

These should be set to match the corresponding parameters of the fractal formula. Otherwise, the 

coloring will not be perfectly smooth.

Usually, the best results are obtained when the 

Transfer Function

 in the Outside tab is set to Log.
