Description Well, as I see many people feeling afraid of our good old friend Fractal Explorer, I made this tutorial which is intended to be just an initiation for beginners. So the title (not fitting in the deviation title space) is "Finding". And finding in many ways, finding the program, finding the way through its basic buttons and menus, finding the world of FE and the final finding: our FE community.

All critics, comments and feedback are of course more than welcome and I will be happy to answer each one of them, as usual.

I really hope this results of interest.

Have a happy fractal day and visit us at

How important and interesting is this tutorial. I did a few not too successful attempts in Ultra Fractal, and this seems quite similar but apparently much "user friendly"
Thank you and congratulations on the new Group

Mario, thanks for a marvelous tutorial. I enjoyed playing with the basics of FE, but always got lost at your Step 14. I could never get the image to save as a .jpg. It always saved as .frs. I would really appreciate some help with this, and maybe I'll try again.

Thanks Vicky
You can also get there by hitting Ctrl+w and choose between .jpg, .gif, .bmp or .png.
Thank you for testing the tutorial

Well, maybe I'll have another go at it. I really liked the different effects that could be found. Thanks you both.

Click on "Save Image" not "Save As". It will save as a .jpg file

I know the controls, but not always what they do, so I go by trial and error.
I don't think I'll ever get very far with any fractal programme.
I'll have a go with this to see how I can use it. Thank you.
