The "Base cut off" is an absolute factor rather than relative factor

It determines whether a subfractal deserves to be divided further more based on the average darkness of its area

if you try and import an image where the average darkness is low, the algorithm will determine the first fractal to not deserve to be divided(Notice when you increase the 'Base cuf-off' the darkness range increase therefore it allows for more fractal iterations)

Try importing an image that's dark enough and it should look fine

In short, the image is too 'light' to be captured by the first iteration of the fractal

Fixed in #713
