Fractal Terrain 3 beginner
Ok. It looks like you've been having some fun with the World Settings.
Open the World settings and the Selection tab. Pick the Default, and click Load, then Apply. You should see the default world appear right before your eyes.
Altitude colours can be similarly set back to default by opening the Lighting and Colour dialog and doing the same thing there. (You won't necessarily have all the same settings as me in either of these dialogs, since many of these are my own home-made settings, but you will always have the defaults and the standard alternative settings)
Remember that in both cases you must first click Load, before you hit Apply.
If you want to change the way things are I recommend playing with only one thing at once on the World Settings Primary tab and clicking Apply each time you change something. That way you will get used to the feel of what everything does.
Then if you get into a tangle with it again you know how to get back to where you were.
Once you have the settings just right I would save them, but to do that you must have opened FT3 by right clicking the icon and picking Run as administrator, or you won't have authorisation to save the new settings.

Three more seals done - some of the Celtic knots.
The Horned Triskelion is often attributed to the Celts, but it was used thousands of years before that in the stone age. Modern interpretations usually depict legs instead of coiled horns.
(As you can see I'm still working on the tree of life, but when that is done the Celtic/Pagan subset will be complete for now)

Problem with layers
Hi Aramisdante :)
Here's a confession. I have no idea why I made that last comment above when Remy and Chris had already solved the matter. At a guess I probably drafted it, abandoned it, then posted it by mistake a couple of days later. It feels completely out of place.
However, it's there now, and its prompted you to ask a question I can answer, so here we go :)
I don't generally use bookmarks, but I believe they only operate within CC3. Hyperlinks are certainly only within CC3.
I learned sheet effects by reading the brief description of what each of them does in the manual and then playing with the ones I understood (and then some of the ones I didn't understand) for many hours, days and weeks, until I figured out how to get whatever specific visual result I was after. I can't remember seeing any videos made specifically about sheet effects bar one, and that was attached to a blog about sheet effects called "Day and Night" by Remy Monsen.
There are quite a number of blog articles about sheet effects. You might want to have a read of some of Remy's articles if you have time:
Here are some of mine, though they tend to concentrate on coastal and oceanic effects.
Happy Christmas yourself! :)
