How to Make Abstract Swirl Fractal

            If you're a new Gimper (newbie using GIMP) it will always be hard to start creating designs the way you want it to be. But, you can always find a solution for that. You can visit Youtube and watch different tutorials on how to start working on GIMP.
            Now, what I'm going to show you is how to make an abstract swirl fractal. Like this image below.

  1.  First, you must download GIMP.
  2.  After you installed GIMP. Go to your desktop and click on the GIMP icon twice. When it shows up, it will be like this.
GIMP Toolbox



       3. You can change the background and foreground ( white and black boxes circled) color by clicking the arrow.
       4. Go to your GNU Image Manipulation Program box and click "File", under file click "New"

       5. After you click new, a little window will pop out and it looks like this.
           You can change the "width" and "height" if you want. Then click "OK".
       6. After you clicked "OK" a window should pop out with background color on according to your choice of color.
       7. Go to "Filters", then "Render", "Nature", then "IFS Fractal".
       8. After clicking the "IFS Fractal" , the IFS Fractal window will pop out and it looks like this.

       9. You see the tree triangles? you can choice which triangle your are going to use by clicking on it and then click "Delete" on  top. You can leave all three triangles if you want to. (It's optional).
       10. Click "Rotate" when you are ready to create a swirl design. Use to mouse to rotate any triangle and you can see the preview of your work beside it.
       11. Once, you're satisfied with your work you can change color by clicking "Color Transformation" below.
       12. When you're done you can "Save" your work. 
       13. If you want to create another design, you can always go back to GIMP and experiment more.
