====== Fractal Workflow ======

===== Create the Fractal =====

(The creative bit.)

If the fractal is derivative of another, copy the original from ''C:\Dev\Fractals\Trunk\Gallery'' to ''C:\Dev\Fractals\Trunk\Workbook''. Add square brackets and a ''V1'' on the end.

Otherwise, get a new code from ''C:\Dev\Fractals\Trunk\Fractal.ods''.

^ Computer ^ Aspect Ratio ^ UltraFractal Working Size ^ MandelBulb3d Working Size ^
| Zeus | 85 | 1200 × 900 | 600 × 450 |
| Zeus | FA | 1750 × 700 |

==== Test Render ====

Save the fractal. Render to ''C:\Temp\Renders'' with Anti-Aliasing set to //Normal// and Open When Finished checked.

^ Aspect Ratio ^ Test Render Size ^
| 85 | 3000 × 2250 |
| FA | 4000 × 1600 |

Do a save as. Increment the ''Vx'' on the end. Continue being creative.

==== Finish Up ====

  * Leave any fractals that didn't make the cut for reference.
  * Rename final fractals.
  * Delete any other versions of the final fractals.
  * Copy to the appropriate ''C:\Dev\Fractals\Trunk\Gallery'' directory.
  * //Move// to the appropriate ''C:\Renders\Source'' directory.

===== Final Render =====

^ Aspect Ratio ^ Final Render Size ^ Anti-Aliasing ^
| 85 | 10240 × 7680 | Normal |
| FA | 12800 × 5120 | Normal |
| 8E | 10480 × 7336 | Normal |

  * Open fractals from the appropriate ''C:\Renders\Source'' directory.
  * Render to the appropriate ''C:\Renders\Images'' directory. Use PNG.

Wait a while...

==== Copyrightisation ====

  * Copy image files from ''C:\Renders\Images'' to ''C:\New Gallery\*\Source''.
  * Update the file ''C:\Dev\Copyrightise\CopyrightImageDetails.pm'' with the new images.
  * Run ''C:\Dev\Copyrightise\v2Generate All Derivatives.bat''
  * **AdjustSettings:** Use the sampler in ''C:\New Gallery\*\Copyright Samplers'' to update the values in the file ''C:\Dev\Copyrightise\CopyrightImageDetails.pm''.
  * Delete the appropriate files from ''C:\New Gallery\*\Copyrightised''. Sort by modification date makes them easy to find. There should be 12 for 85 or 10 for FA.
  * Delete the file ''C:\New Gallery\85 (Screen)\Copyright Samplers\Montage.png'' or rename it to compare the difference.
  * Run ''C:\Dev\Copyrightise\v2Generate All Derivatives.bat'' again.
  * Examine the Montage image. Ignore the 512x384 image. If the values need adjusting, go to **AdjustSettings:**
  * If the image is 85:
    * Copy ''C:\New Gallery\85 (Screen)\Copyrightised\*.2800x1600.png'' and ''*.1024x768.jpg'' to a USB Key to take to work.
    * At work on WHOS008, copy ''*.2800x1600.png'' to ''C:\11000 x 7703 (Raw)''.
    * Run ''C:\11000 x 7703 (Raw)\To Wallpaper.bat''. This will convert to BMP and store in ''C:\11000 x 7703 (Raw)\Wallpaper''.
    * On the laptop, copy ''*.1024x768.jpg'' to ''C:\Wallpaper''.
  * If the image is FA:
    * Run the batch file ''C:\Backgrounds\Refresh.bat''.

===== To Wallpaper Script =====

This will need adjusting to work at home.
