what I do now is, I do all my tweaking at about 480 or 500 pixels wide, and when I'm happy with the the image, I start the full size render, but as soon as it starts I save the parameters as both M3P and TXT files, so if anything goes wrong, I have the parameters to try again... I made it a habit, so I hardly ever forget to do it. Otherwise, I would have lost many of my best renders completely
I usually keep mine at 720 X 450. Its the same ratio as my computers screen resolution, and this fractal thing all started as a way to make backgrounds. I usually render at 5760 X 3600 and then use gimp to shrink it down when done. Some fractals take to long to render at that size. If its over 3 hours I tend to start lowering the resolution. The timer lies at high lengths... well not lies... just moves in a fractal dimension relative to ours
But the important thing is, as soon as you switch from the small size to the full size, and click the calc button, then immediately save the parameters... even if its only the M3P file, at least you have something saved...
