After advancing the color map one step you would exit color cycling mode and save the image. Fortunately Fractint will change the file name for you automatically, so you won't have to enter a new file name for each image you save.
i have used similar methods in gimp, using individual layers with slight changes in mode/opacity etc, problem is it takes an awful long time ie 300+plus frames takes days but only give a few seconds of footage. someone was so kind to pass me on an update for xfractint some time ago-it is half installed, we got stuck on the colour-maps, they either did not install or were over-wriiten (do not know which)- so the update on that is missing because we haven't actually managed to get it installed yet. i would be incredibly pleased if that update does then support colour-cycling and would be everso pleased if someone knew then how to make that into .avi or .mpeg files. xaos is a programm that can makes mpeg file but as i understand it xaos uses differnt colouring aligrothims than fractint does. i don't understand maths so other than that i don't understand what the actual problem/differnce is. i have picture and i am not sure why it flickers, if it is an optical illusion or a redrawing/display problem: http://www.sende.co.uk/fract008.gif http://www.sende.co.uk/fract009.gif sammi sammi
