Flame fractal images are beautiful and can be easily modified to create an infinity of different images. Flame fractals have been used for special effects in recent movies and animated YouTube music videos.
Fractal images, unlike photographs, can be made to any size without loss of image quality (but rendering times can be much longer for big images than for small ones). and images created by Fractal Architect can be imported by other applications and incorporated into other graphic designs.
Fractal Architect creates a large percentage of high quality random fractals. Fractal Architect produces many fractals which can stand alone without further editing effort, and also includes an easy-to-use complete fractal editor, that allows you to modify any fractal you select for more artistic challenge.

Create a new random batch of fractals and drag and drop the keepers into your favorite Finder folder.
Use Quicklook to instantly see a larger image - not just little thumbnails.

Supports files with multiple distinct fractals in them or files having multiple frame animations for video production.
See thumbnails for up to 25 frames at a time and quickly switch between them for editing.
Creates QuickTime videos from fractal files containing complete animation frame sequences. (Note: version 1.0.0 does not include an sequence animator -- yet.)

Tips ========
Use a small editor thumbnail size while editing, as that is much faster. At any point, you can use the Quicklook view to see a much bigger image.
If you are making a trial rendering to a JPEG or PNG file, use a lower quality to speed up the render. Use a higher quality setting for your final rendering.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, it doesn’t have to be one or the other any more. TexToPix enables you to convert your pictures into images made from the words of your choice. How about an image of your one true love made from the words of the Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s poem “How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways…”? Or an image of your personal hero made from the words of that hero that have inspired you?
TexToPix lets you create color, halftone or black-and-white images composed from the text of your choice. The images appear like the original picture when viewed from afar, but up close the words making up the picture can be clearly read. The application is highly interactive and easy to use, with immediate preview updates of the images possible with each setting change. There are lots of presets to provide all the settings for a particular type of image in one click. The images created from TexToPix projects can be saved as raster JPEG images or as vector-based PDF files.
