However, it does not let you explore Julia Set fractals like the Fractals app does. <p>Be sure to pay attention to the short tutorial that appears the first time you run the program so you can learn how to navigate it. You can save the fractal images within the app, save to photos on your device, email the images, or share them with other users, and browse fractals shared by other users. <p>On the subject of fractals, has anyone read <em>Altar of Eden</em>, by James Rollins? Fractals were discussed a bit in the book, which I found interesting. <p> <strong>On this site: <br />&#8226; <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/fractals/">More About Fractals</a> <br />&#8226; <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/iphoneandipodtouchapps/index.htm">Graphics Apps for iPhone and iPod Touch</a></strong> <div style="background-color: #f7f7ef;font-size:0.8em;margin:20px 0px 0px 0px;padding:5px"> <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://twitter.com/suechastain">Twitter</a> &#124; <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://www.facebook.com/suegraphics">Facebook</a> &#124; <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/gi/pages/mmail.htm">Newsletter</a> </div><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2010/02/05/more-fractals-on-your-iphone-or-ipod-touch.htm">More Fractals on Your iPhone or iPod Touch</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/">About.com Graphics Software</a> on Friday, February 5th, 2010 at 12:12:48.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2010/02/05/more-fractals-on-your-iphone-or-ipod-touch.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2010/02/05/more-fractals-on-your-iphone-or-ipod-touch.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2010/02/05/more-fractals-on-your-iphone-or-ipod-touch.htm&zItl=More Fractals on Your iPhone or iPod Touch">Email this</a></p> http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2010/02/05/more-fractals-on-your-iphone-or-ipod-touch.htm 2010-02-05T12:12:48Z http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2010/02/03/pogo-stylus-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch.htm Is it worth getting a Pogo Stylus for <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/iphoneandipodtouchapps/index.htm">drawing and painting on the iPhone or iPod touch</a>? I posed this question on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://twitter.com/suechastain">Twitter</a> some time ago, and got no replies. So I decided to order one and find out for myself. Within just a few seconds of using it, I could tell it made a big difference in my painting accuracy.

It's some kind of controller for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements that runs on your iPhone or iPod touch. It also requires a server application and plugin to be installed on your Windows or Mac computer where you have Photoshop or Elements installed. It's free for 48 hours, so might be worth trying out.

How can I resize it without the distortion?</i>" This happens because digital cameras produce files with an aspect ratio of 4:3, but many common photo print sizes have a different aspect ratio. Learn more about aspect ratio and how to deal with it by cropping your photos to standard sizes. <strong><br />• <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/glossary/g/aspectratio.htm" title="Aspect Ratio and Cropping to the Proper Print Proportions">Aspect Ratio and Cropping to the Proper Print Proportions</a></strong> <p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/28/getting-standard-print-sizes-without-distortion.htm">Printing Standard Photo Sizes Without Distortion</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/">About.com Graphics Software</a> on Monday, December 28th, 2009 at 08:15:27.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/28/getting-standard-print-sizes-without-distortion.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/28/getting-standard-print-sizes-without-distortion.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://graphicssoft.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/28/getting-standard-print-sizes-without-distortion.htm&zItl=Printing Standard Photo Sizes Without Distortion">Email this</a></p> http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/28/getting-standard-print-sizes-without-distortion.htm 2009-12-28T08:15:27Z http://graphicssoft.about.com/b/2009/12/27/graphics-challenge-snow-globes-3.htm This week's graphics challenge theme is <strong><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://forums.about.com/ab-graphicssoft/messages?lgnF=y&#038;msg=9969.1">Snow Globes</a></strong>.
