Original image

Filter “Fractal Trace” applied

This filter transforms the image with the Mandelbrot fractal: it maps the image to the fractal.

13.4.2. Activating the Filter

This filter is found in the main menu under Filters → Map → Fractal trace….

13.4.3. Options

Figure 17.285. “Fractal trace” filter options

Options

Presets, “Input Type”, Clipping, Blending Options, Preview, Merge filter, Split view

	Note
	These options are described in Section 2, “Common Features”.

Fractal type

You choose between “Mandelbrot” and “Julia”.

X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Depth

These parameters are similar to Left, Right, Top, Bottom and Iterations parameters of the Fractal Explorer filter. They allow you to vary fractal spreading and detail depth.

JX, JY

Julia seed X and Y value positions. Only shown when fractal type is Julia.

Bailout length

Abyss policy

Mapping image to fractal may reveal empty areas. These options allows you to set displacement behavior on active layer or selection edges. They are described in Abyss policy
