Gradients: Alcohol Ink Washes for Ultra Fractal

A set of single hue gradients for use in Ultra Fractal:



Designed to mimic the type of wash effect seen when using Alcohol Inks, such as those used by beautifulchaos1 , for example:

You are welcome to download and use this, and to adapt the individual gradients for your own requirements

Each gradient has a single hue - additional control points of varying hues can obviously be added if needed.

Beginners to Ultra Fractal may find this tutorial useful: Ultra Fractal Tutorial: Create a New Gradient File

Ultra Fractal Tutorial: Create a New Gradient File
This is quickie tutorial for beginners (and maybe for those old timers who've been using Ultra Fractal so long they've forgotten how!) on How to Create a New Gradient File in Ultra Fractal.
At the end of the tutorial you will have a nice set of colourful gradients to choose from for when you're stuck for ideas, and be able to apply them to the Fractal files you are working on.
As your experience with using Ultra Fractal grows you will find that more and more you will create and edit the gradients you are working with "on the hoof", but to start with it's a good idea to have a range of gradients to choose from as you're learning.
It's also useful to know how to save Gradients you've made while working on an image for repeat use at a later time.
Remember the Help file in UF is also very extensive, and will assist you further in creating and editing your Gradients manually.
