Since I've been finding myself blabbing an aweful lot lately about the need to help educate newcomers about how to tweak seed flames, I thought that I would put my proverbial money where my not so proverbial mouth is and write a mini-tutorial to address a simple subtlety in Apo color manipulation that I've only seen partly covered in other tutorials.

This started out as a lesson that I gave to a couple of my former mentees from the Senior Mentors Project. I 've updated it a little for a couple of new pupils that I've agreed to take on, but figured that maybe others might appreciate it also.

My intention is to present a short tutorial containing more images than words so as not to overwhelm the newcomer with Apo jargon. I also included all of the associated parameter text, flame files, gradient files and images in the zip file to encourage interaction.

If it is well received, I might consider writing other "ApoBits" as I like to call them on different topics.

Note to advanced fractalists: I would greatly appreciate anyone willing to take the time to review and critique this tutorial. I'm always open to suggestions on how to improve and make my creations more useful to our community This is my first tutorial submission afterall, so I wouldn't expect to have it completely perfect on the first run through...

Happy fractaling!
