Description I didn't use the JPEG format as it blurs a lot and removes the details. The filesize's big, I apologize for that. Umm... the colors online are different from my hard drive version... It looks better on my hard drive, I swear. T_T Is this caused by me using a PNG, since JPEG has the embedded profile thing? Just wondering...

Apophysis 2.08 beta, Photoshop CS3.

Hiya, from

I use the JPEG file format for my images, but I have an option on Paint Shop Pro that I use when I'm saving to lower the file compression, and that tends to raise the quality of the JPEG image. Of course, nothing wrong with using PNG, as I used to use it for the transparencies that it allowed in Poser6 until I started putting backgrounds into the program itself and rendering... But anyway, just wanted to leave that. ^^

Beautiful BEAUTIFUL image! I wish I could do that. In the running to become a background, that's for sure, as long as you don't mind of course. O_O

Hi Ryu ~ I'm sorry I couldn't keep up with my messages. I didn't hear about Emmy/Fleur. I wish her well... I'll be waiting for the happy news of Fleur in a better situation.

Yup, I have the JPEG compression setting too, but even at max some of the details were blurred. I've use PNGs as I read it is a loseless format. I'm not sure... I think the difference between the file on my hard drive and online @ dA is most probably due to my eyes or some other mistake made by me @_@

"In the running to become a background" I don't get what you mean It's always okay if you want to wallpaper this... just that I like using Portrait orientation more than Landscape so it's slightly harder to wallpaper T_T Thank you... and cute avatar.

Ah, okay. nah, it's probably the file format itself, not your eyes. You never know when it comes to formats and dA, you know how it messes some things up sometimes. *Pets*

I decided to use it as a background. It's lovely, and I'm happy to look at it, even if it is portrait. Thanks for the compliment!

First of all, I really like your background texture. It makes it look like the flame just keeps going on back forever. The fractal itself looks like a living and growing thing.
I don't know what the colors look like on your computer but on mine the look just right
I don't know what could have went wrong with you using the png file type. I use png or bmp all the time and never have any trouble with the color. Could something have happened when you saved it to file?

Background texture, you mean the repeating patterns? I'll admit it, I use a lot of Linear in my fractals If you talking about the multi-colored dust, I'll admit again, I used Photoshop brush to add them because the background was too boring.

It looks kind of different, the file I submitted. While that file is on my HD, the colors look more saturated and contrasting. Then, I submit this file, and when viewed at this page or when I click on the "Download" button, the colors changed a little.

I was just wondering, because that JPEGs have an embedded color profile that "tells" the monitors how to display it correctly so the colors will match for everyone's computers, while other file formats usually don't have that function. But I read from Wikipedia that most browsers don't support the embedded profile function... Just wondering. But I'm still glad that the colors are 90% accurate It might have been 90% accurate all this while, just that I might not have paid much attention to it.

I think you did a really good job with the brushing in the background. Just the right amount.
90% isn't that much off.
The colors look great to me.
