(Image Adjustment on the Settings Panes). Default size (800 x 600) is quick to render but low resolution. Select the \emph{Connect fractal detail level with image resolution} checkbox so that your image doesn’t change when you resize it, when you want to render at larger size, but the fractal will not gain more details.

\item You can also save scenes to keyframe animations by hitting Add keyframe in the animation dock (see Keyframe Animation section in full User Manual).

\item[Move by clicking] Click on fractal in the Main View to move closer to where you clicked. The higher the value of the step size (in the Navigation Pane), the more you’ll move towards where you clicked. If you get lost or stuck, reload the scene from the toolbar, keyframes, or save files (see step 9 this guide), or hit the UNDO button. (Hitting “Reset view” on the navigation pane has differing results.)

\item[Load example….] Go to \emph{File}, \emph{Load example}… Select one of the many examples, also in the subfolders by artist name, hit render and then look through the settings to see what is turned on and what things are set at. This is the best, easiest, and most fun way to learn Mandelbulber.
