Adding control points
Let s add a couple of more control points to our gradient to 
refine our web like structure. 
Right click anywhere in the gradient editor and select 
  Insert from the right click menu.
While you are working with the

With the insert mouse pointer, click to the right of the 
gradient, try to show and hide the 
set of black control points in any one of the horizontal 
various layers once in a while to see 
color bands.
what is going on.
G     
Change the Red, Green, and Blue settings each to 0. 
G     
Change the Position setting to 115 and the Opacity 
setting to 255.
If you hide the Texture and Coloring 
layers to make only the Web layer 
visible, you can easily see and edit the

transparent areas that the gradient 
creates.

Add another control point with these settings: 
H     
Red, Green, and Blue set to 255
H     
Position set to 116
H     
Opacity set to 0
This creates a 4th set of control points   this time white, with 100% transparency.

Save this image (either as a parameter or fractal file) as Phoenix Julia 2.
   
Try playing with the control points of 
the Web layer gradient and watch what 
happens in your image. Change their 
transparencies, move them around, 
give one or more of them color. And 
periodically, while you are playing 
around, try different merge modes and 
opacity settings on the Layers tab of 
the Fractal Properties tool window.
You can also experiment with changing 
the order of layers in the list to see how 
this affects the overall image.
