My Macintosh-based Photoshop plug-in, "Expression" does exactly this.
It doesn't use color tables, but rather allows you to use the
Mandelbrot escape value as a variable in an expression.  The program
is an interpreter that evaluates individual expressions for the R, G,
and B (or alternately, H, S & V) components of each pixel.  It is
quite powerful in this regard, although it is quite lacking in the
user-friendly department :)

The plug-in can also be used with Premiere or Debabelizer to create
24-bit movies of fractal zooms.  There is also a 3D turbulence function
that can be used to create movies of moving clouds, lightning, etc.

Expression, which is freeware, is available at this site:
