does X is having a birthday???  and btw the rendering quality doesn't influence the rendering duration...
you can set it to 2000 or 4000 and it'll take the same time for it to render...sounds irrational, I know...but that's hoe it is..LOL
the things that influence most on the rendering duration are:
1. the size of the image (the bigger the slower...if you set the width to 800 it should be fine)
2. the ZOOM value (the more you're zoomed-in the longer it takes to render...the recommended zoom amount is -0.5)
3. hmmm...your PC performances...
Kiai...you can upload the flame that took you 10 minutes to render and i'll see if I can render it quicker.

Kathryn, the high render is awesome and makes a big difference! Make a new folder on your desktop by right clicking and hitting "new", then name it what you like (I called mine "renders", lol!) Then, follow "A"s instructions, and make sure that you make the path in Apophysis pointing to your new folder, my path is as follows...
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\RENDERS\
Then, at the end of the path you type in what you want to name your fractal, like this...
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\RENDERS\1stRender.jpg
Then, you just hit the render button. When it is done, you go into your render folder you made on the desktop, and the image is in there and so is the flame file for it! 
Hope this helps,
"X" Many thanks X - I shall give it a try - if it STILL does not work for me - I shall just upload the images my way I guess!! LOL  But then again I am not that picky about how it looks LOL I am just having more fun just creating the images!! - You all just make it look just sooooooooo easy!!! |

Kathryn...the making of the fractals IS the main thing!
improving the rendering quality is just a small thing that makes them sharper, that's all...you'll get it sooner or later in your own rythem 
about the E or C question...the answer is YES it does matter.
the folder that I save my images in is located in my E hard drive.
you must write the exact location on YOUR PC of the folder you want your images to be saved in.
you said before that you want your rendered images to be saved in your "My documents" folder
it is so easy to do it...you'll cry when you'll see how easy it is...LOL
follow these steps exactly and see...
1. open your Apohysis
2. make a fractal you like to render
3. click the Render icon
4. the render window will open up automaticaly
5. in the DESTINATION section click on the little Yellow folder icon !
6. a Save AS window will open...there, all you have to do is to brouse your "My Documents" folder. once you found it...click SAVE!
the window will close and the exact location of your "My Documents" folder will be written automaticaly where it should. (you don't have to change anything in the File name box! just move on to the next step)
7. change the WIDTH in the Size section to 800 (just like in the first instructions)
8. click RENDER
that's it actually...now the Apo will start the rendering proccess and when it finish...
9. open your "My Documents" folder and youi'll find there you rendered fractal image !

Many thanks for your help A - I was right in the middle of trying to respond to you and before I could finish responding - I lost the internet connection (I have dial-up) because the City of Fort Lauderdale (that is where I live) is putting in sewer lines in my neighborhood and one of the guys had cut the phone lines by accident - so I could not use the internet for a short few hours!! So in the meantime I still tried what you said and still says "Directory does not exist" - I will keep trying and trying at it.

10 or 3 minutes is a significant.
If it's juat a matter of a tweak or two, i'd love to help you or anyone make it.

all are smooth and amazing...so I bow down to your teaching skills...and thank you very much
for all the work you put into helping us..I for one am very grateful...see you soon....some family
issues here keep me away for awhile...hugs...ria

Marmite you are doing great...just keep practicing and keep asking questions..everyone on here
is willing to help....great job..the only thing I would say is make it a bit smaller so it wont
take as long to render....like 800 x 750...something like that..Ria
