Ultra Fractal Standard Edition 6.04

Ultra Fractal is the best tool to create fractal artwork and fractal animations. Whether you are a graphics designer, a video producer, a professional fractal artist or a complete beginner, Ultra Fractal will make it easy to create beautiful fractal pictures, animated textures and moving fractal backgrounds. The Animation Edition contains everything from the Standard Edition, plus animation and network features: create fractal movies and calculate fractals using multiple networked computers.

FEATURES:

Get started quickly with the integrated tutorials:
· It is easy and fun to start using Ultra Fractal with the built-in tutorials. Starting with the basics, you will soon learn how to create your own fractals, change the colors, add layers, use masks, and even create animations. You can also download the PDF manual to print the tutorials.

Explore thousands of fractal types and coloring options:
· First explore the standard fractal types in Ultra Fractal to get familiar with them. Then connect to the online formula database to download thousands of additional fractal formulas and coloring algorithms contributed by other users.

Enjoy unlimited deep zooming:
· You can zoom to virtually unlimited depths with Ultra Fractal. Deep zooming is fully integrated and works with all fractal types and coloring options, even those you have written yourself!

Tweak parameters with the versatile Explore feature:
· Choosing parameter values is a breeze with the new Explore feature. Experiment with new parameter values by moving the mouse cursor over a coordinate grid in the Explore window, while the Fractal Mode tool window shows a real-time preview of the result.

Color your fractals and add transparency effects:
· Coloring your fractals is easy with Ultra Fractal's gradient editor. Drag the gradient curves up and down to create smooth ranges of colors, or use the Randomize options to quickly try various color combinations. You can also use the gradient editor to add transparency effects.

Compose fractals with layers, masks, layer groups and Photoshop-like merge modes:
· One of Ultra Fractal's key features is layering. You can place multiple layers of fractals on top of each other to combine them and create intricate coloring and texturing effects. Add mask layers to create transparent areas that will let the underlying layers shine through. Organize related layers in layer groups. Store layers or groups that you often use in the layer presets menu to access them quickly. You can even select multiple layers to edit their parameters together.

Image import:
· Import PNG, JPEG or BMP images in your fractals with the built-in image import feature. Simply select a coloring algorithm that contains an image parameter, and you can select any image on your computer to use.

Open and organize your fractal files:
· Organize all your fractal-related files with the integrated Explorer-like file browsers. Quickly scan formula files and parameters with the new thumbnail view and the powerful search tools.

Render your artwork to produce fractal movies and high-quality images for printing and publishing:
· Create stunning fractal movies and high-quality images in full color at any size and resolution with the Render to Disk feature. Built-in anti-aliasing and motion blur smooths and sharpens rendered images and removes jagged edges. Ultra Fractal exports and renders to JPEG, Photoshop, TIFF, PNG, Windows BMP, Targa, and AVI files.

Release notes:

New Release
Fixed a crash with some graphics drivers on Windows with OpenGL acceleration enabled.
Fixed various issues on Windows with 150% DPI scaling.
Fixed various problems in macOS 11 (Big Sur): the buttons in the layers list wouldn't turn off, and items in some lists were not drawn correctly.
Improved color matching in the fractal window on macOS on some monitors.
Fixed a problem when running in full screen mode on macOS (via the green window button): opening a modal browser (e.g. to select a formula) could lead to a non-functioning interface.
The welcome and evaluation dialogs now appear correctly in Dark Mode on macOS.
Small bug fixes and improvements.
