I don't have any commercial software to combine the tiles output into a single image. And wouldn't know where to begin in any case.
Is there a tutorial or easy-to-use free or low-cost solution to do this?
Thank You

This fractal has "dirt" on it (speckles). If you zoom in on the mandelbar the noise pattern changes so it's not correct. I tried everything with bailout and even added precision but the problem remains. Actually with added precision the picture completely disappears.
I guess I can't attach here, so I'll give upr and Bugs.ufm below,

Is there a way to set formula parameters programmatically, be displayed in the GUI and allow further manual tweaks?
Eg I have a formula parameter set q1,.., q8 which I give random values programmatically but then want to tweak manually.
I’ve uploaded a new version of jlb.ulb with a new fractal plug-in formula, ThreeLevel. It’s a Barnsley-type formulas; these formulas define a critical value, and at each iteration some combination of z and c is compared to the critical value. If the combination is above the critical value, one formula is used; if below, another formula is used.
ThreeLevel uses two critical values
I have some of the help files that are referenced in online formulas, including ones from lkm, mt, reb, and sam, but I don't have any of the dmj-pub help files. Are all of the help files still available somewhere?
They don't seem to download when I update the formula database.
last week i got an error when I tried to start UF version 5. I had been planning to upgrade to version 6, and I thought this might solve the problem, but it persisted following the new installation.
Liesbeth posed basically the same question in January.

Hello,
I'm on a roll, so here's a 3rd post. I have intermittently run into an error message when using the explorer to vary color density. This happens when something else (preview or job) is also rendering at the same time. As I move the mouse back and forth over the explorer window, errors occasionally pop up, usually complaining that something is not a floating point value:

In the Formula window, bool params have their caption to the right of their check box. If the check box were to the left of the window, there would be room for a longer caption to be visible.
A very minor request for the next minor release.
Thanks to Frederik for this terrific program.
I tried changing fonts in the formula editor from the default Consolas to something else, like Times New Roman or another serif font. These other fonts are not mono-space, but they display as if they were mono-space, fixed-width and ugly, so not really usable. Of the Windows fonts, only the true mono-space fonts—Consolas, Courier New, and Lucida Sans Typewriter—are useful.

I happened to find out that certain formulas can no longer be used in UF5. This applies to mmf.ufm. In UF6 is a totally new series mmf.ufm.
I don't know if it applies to more formulas.
Now two examples with just two layers, a top layer for the lines and a bottom layer to color the cells. Here’s one with 200 rectangles. Because cells are colored with index equal to n/Nmax, shuffling the colors often gives a more pleasing result.

Years ago, rkb.ulb included code that allowed the making of Mondrian-type images, but it is no longer in that file. I thought about this for a long time and decided to develop such code, though mine is totally different. (The rkb code used Trap Shape, and mine is entirely in the outside coloring.) Here’s an example of the result. Not as good as Mondrian’s, but reminiscent. And not at
In the Range field of the Exploring tab, I can't enter a number like 1e-7 or 1e5. However, if I enter .00001, UF changes this to 1e-5 and I can edit the number.
Also in the Range field, I can't enter a number like 1.5, as the decimal point is immediately deleted. However, I can enter .5, which UF changes to 0.5, and I can then change the 0 to 1.
This behavior seems limited to the Range fi

I'm debugging a new formula. All the printing so far is in the constructor. I get many more lines of printing than I expected, some of the same things over and over.
I thought that the constructor was only invoked once.
When is it really invoked? How can I avoid the excess printing?

I have been working for some time on ways to generate new fractal shapes, and also to be able to switch easily from Mandelbrot type (M-type) to Julia type (J-type). Here is what I’ve come up with.
UltraFractal formulas usually depend on two complex values, z and c. Usually z starts with the pixel value and changes throughout the iterations. Usually c does not change with the iterations; for
I have a square fractal, say 600x600 in the UF6 window. If I change it to 900x600 in the Image tab, the apparent magnification changes. I want to make it wider without changing the center or the apparent magnification. Is there a formula for changing Magnification in the Location tab that will do this?
I'm very pleased to announce the release of Ultra Fractal 6.03 for Windows and macOS today. In addition to bug fixes and small improvements, this update adds full support for Dark Mode on macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and beyond. The update is free for existing version 6 users.

Hello,
I'm pretty sure this isn't intentional. The anti-aliasing in the working window has become noticeably worse in the latest version, to the point that I had to double check whether it was active at all. Here's an example comparison:
It's even more obvious with the default image, but i haven't saved a copy of that from the older version.

Hello,
I was about to explore the Mandelbrot set when I ran into a glitch while rendering. It looks exactly like the kind of artifact I get when periodicity checking fails. I can usually just turn it of, but this was using perturbation (precise).
Here's an image:
The problem occurs only in one of the two layers (the one that uses Triangle Inequality Average)

Hello,
I recently worked on a few relatively slow rendering fractals and I frequently run into previews that take serveral minutes to render. However, I can already see what I want and I would like to use the explorer to change parameters. I know I can turn off AA and/or change the size of the image too.
It would be awesome if we had a button to pause the automatic rendering of the previe
It turns out that some combinations of formulas don't render properly unless Periodicity Checking is Off.
A word to the wise ...
