Working with transformations

You work with transformations in the Mapping tab of the Layer Properties tool window. The Mapping tab shows a list with the transformations used by the active layer.

Transformations are stored in transformation files (*.uxf). Each file can contain multiple transformations.

		To add a transformation, click the Add button. This opens a modal browser that shows the transformation files on your computer and the transformations that they contain. Double-click on a transformation to add it. Hold down the Add button to open a menu with transformation presets, together with a Recent menu that provides quick access to recently used transformations.
		To remove the selected transformations, click the Delete button.
		To rename the active transformation, click it again or press F2 (like in Windows Explorer).
		To change the order in which transformations appear in the list, drag them up or down. See Multiple transformations.
		The Enable icon before each transformation enables and disables it. Use it to temporarily disable a transformation so you can judge its effect, or adjust other transformations.
		Some transformations contain additional help. To access it, click the More button, and then click Help from the menu that opens. This menu also provided commands to copy and paste the settings and parameters for the selected transformation, and to reset all parameters to the default values.

The bottom pane of the Mapping tab contains parameters specific to the selected transformations. These parameters work the same as the parameters for fractal formulas. See Formula parameters.

Notes

You can select multiple transformations by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking a transformation. Hold down the Shift key while clicking to select a range of transformations. This enables you to easily edit multiple transformations together, like you can do with layers.
If multiple layers are selected, the list in the Mapping tab only shows those transformations that all selected layers have in common.
Right-click inside the list of transformations to open a menu with frequently used commands.
