I've only been using apophysis for a couple of weeks now, but I've been living and breathing it (ask my girlfriend) ; I zoomed in all the way once, and it only took me about 7 or so hours to render , how high did you have the quality/depth set too? It doesn't effect the memory usage, but it does effect render time. Usually I render print quality fractals at 3200x4800 and it only takes around 6 hours. I used to set it at 1000, but I did a test on small images, and there doesn't seem to be a difference between 1000 and 250, but those tests were done at 990x660 res, I would assume the larger the image the more noticeable changes would be but I haven't test that yet. Also, deepbluerenegade is right, scaling does the same thing,though again I THINK it effects overall quality, but on an image this small I don't think you would notice, just up the q/d or image size to compensate and it will still render faster.

I had the quality set to 2000 and the depth at 32-bit integer. I haven't played around with anything higher than 1280x(whatever) yet but I still have all my original parameters if I want to make some prints.

Yeah, you should drop the quality down to 1000 at the highest, that'll halve the time it takes to render. Think of it like this: if you have the quality set to 1000 and are rendering an image that is 900x900, rendering the same size image at 2000 quality is like rendering a 1800x1800 image at 1000 quality and scaling it down. I asked the guy who made Apophysis 7x if using a higher integer effects the image, and he said no but that some people say it's faster (i couldn't tell a difference). Everything in my Gallery was rendered at 1000, you should check it out. < (please forgive the shameless plug)

3 Days???
How large of an image? It seems like you didn't get your money's worth.
Did you use post-process render?

no post-process...maybe just an over-taxed laptop processor was the culprit. The image here is full sized, 1280x942. I think I had zoomed in to near maximum for this particular one too.

hmmmm,
In the future, don't use zoom, use the scaling. I think you will find that it does the same thing but renders way faster.
I'm sad because the quality looks low, but the render time is already ridiculous.

made it in apo 3D-Hack and brightened the colors in photoshop.

well there's a new version now but just google Apophysis and you can get it, it's free. the computer that rendered this was running windows xp media center edition sp3, 1 GB memory, it's a dell inspiron 1505...I dunno whatever else you want to know I'll tell you I guess
