Hello,
I created the image linked to below maybe ten or more years ago, but I can't remember what I used to do so.

I thought it may have been Dragonfly's Sinedots plugin, and there appears to be an element of a sine wave in there, but this result is more complex than Sinedot's output.
Was it even a plugin? Was it perhaps some stand-alone image generator?
If you can recall playing around with a plugin or some app that produced results like this and you can remember its name please let me know.
Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
Tony

Thanks Roo,Roo wrote:Did you maybe use brushes and then apply a diffuse glow or outer glow?
I will check out some of the fractal brushes around, but I don't recall doing anything clever like painting!
I'm pretty sure it was more a case of twiddling a few sliders and hitting OK and the whole thing was done. I remember being thrilled by the minute level of detail obtained.
I can't remember whether it was a plugin or a stand-alone application.

I'm going to answer my own question...
After much browsing I found out what I must have used...
It was FraxFlame II from Kai's Power Tools (KPT), now owned and packaged by Corel as Corel KPT Collection.
Here's a review of the it...

I'll have to check whether it would work with modern Photoshop/PCs (Corel only mention Win XP), but it did produce lovely effects.

Harald,
Thank you very much for those links.
Apophysis seems to be just what I was looking for. It produces very similar results to those of the old KPT, and works fine on my Windows 7 64bit PC.
As you know, it is not a plugin, but a stand-alone application.
Here is my first quick test image (reduced in size for this purpose).
