Fractals in Photoshop

You can still use KPT. There are a number of standalone fractal generators available, including Fractal Explorer:

A very good fractal program which supports layers and merge modes ala Photoshop is Ultrafractal:

This latter costs money, and has a quite steep learning curve, but has broad capabilities.

Another one–free–to create flame fractals is Apophysis

There are also many others. Check here:

All create graphics files which can be opened in PS. Ultrafractal exports ..psd files which preserve layer and transparency information as well.

Have fun,

I used to love designing psychedelic images using KPT’s Fractal Explorer. Is there any way to achieve the same type of imagery with Photoshop CS2, either within the app or with current third party software?

Thanks much, Toby. I should have specified that I’m on a Mac. Just about all of the programs shown on those pages are either PC or so old they won’t run on my OS X computer. But I do appreciate you taking the time to respond.
