Opening a Flame File

How do I open a Flame recipe file?

Simply use the File menu -> Open. It provides an Open File dialog to select the file to open. Only filenames ending with: .flame, .flam3, or .png can be opened.

Once you have used Fractal Architect for a while, the File menu -> Open Recent will allow you to open files you have previously opened. 

How do I open an Image file.

You can open any image file on your system (including ones you rendered) by using the File menu -> Open. It provides an Open File dialog to select the file to open. 

Once opened you can wonder at your artistic genius or print the image file to amaze your friends. Images are not up-rezzed for better printing quality.

 If printing is done for a selected flame document, it will be rendered using an appropriate high printer friendly resolution.
