Thank you for your interest, new gradient packs are always welcomed by the fractal community

I start by taking digital photos with (hopefully) interesting colors and save them to my PC. Open Apophysis, then the gradient editor and click the orange Smooth Palette button in the lower right corner, then I find an image (a .BMP, .JPG or .JPEG) I want to use and select it. Apo will convert it to a gradient in a few seconds. Right-click on the new gradient bar in the editor and select the Save Gradient option. Create a destination and name for the UGR file and a name for this specific gradient. The UGR file will be the pack containing however many gradients you choose to make, just repeat the process. Be sure to give each gradient a different name. When done, locate the UGR file where ever it was saved (I save to desktop for easy access) and compress it to a zip folder and upload.

Hope this helps

I keep getting this error when trying: Format '%d' invalid or incompatible with argument. However, I have asked `Xyrus02 about it so I just need to be patient I think. I'm saving this for future reference and it is great so that I do have the map files but I am still uncertain how to combine them all into one .ugr file. I get the error as soon as I select any sort of bmp or jpg file and try to open it. It's weird, but I believe that it is an issue with delphi so it may be fixed in r16. I'm not too worried, but I was thinking of creating my own so that I have the same basic colors which I normally use and sending it out to the community as well. Also, while I was able to load it once into ApoMap once I tried to right click it, the only options I had were to rename and delete it. Neither one of those options work so back to the drawing board for me. I do appreciate the long reply and hopefully I will be able to start creating packs soon.
