Mutation Tips

Mutation is a powerful tool - here are some tips on using it to its fullest:

1. Use the sliders to control what is changed. For fine tuning an image, for example, you may want to set all the sliders except the Parameters slider to the left, which will result in mutations that are only different by their parameters.

2. Similarly, lock the parameters for nodes that are the way you want them to prevent undesired changes.

3. Without a node that contains color options, the coloring slider won't change anything, so make sure to have a gradient or similar node to make sure that your colors can get mutated.

4. The small arrows to the left of the Generate Mutations button will go backwards/forwards through the history of mutations shown, because you always notice the good image just after you've generated a new series of images.
