Did you use log smoothing for the exterior in the larger image? If so, do you
know if it's possible to bridge iterations perfectly, or are there always going
to be slight inconsistencies? I've gotten *pretty* close, but sometimes there
are still visible artifacts. I had to adjust the size function to (x*x+y*y)-2048
in order to get the best results. The coloring function reflects that
adjustment:
log(log(iters)/log(x*x+y*y))/log(2)/(i-1)-(i-1)/iters+512/(i-1)/iters

Rather ugly, I'd say, but it's the best I have come up with :\

Also, what kind of system are you using to navigate the fractal? Are you taking
parameters from other programs? What I'm doing now is placing a numbered, static
grid over the entire image and alternating between scale and translate
statements (using the grid as a reference), but there must be an easier way.
