Parahandy - yes, you may be bold To get the fractal pattern I used the freeware Apophysis, then imported the fractal images in Xara. some fiddling with saturation and levels to increase colors and brightness, and then I changed the transparency to Bleach. Then I made a circle with an inversed circular transparency (= I set the center to 100% transparent) and used a profile to adjust the amount of transparency. Transparency set to Bleach and then I used the circle to clip the fractal bitmap. Added a small highlight circle and that's it. To achieve the stereographic view I read and followed Gary's text at his stereogram site. And for the sharp sighted, you will notice that the fractals are slightly different, and that was achieved by the scripting in Apophysis (but that's another story).
