Here's how
the two images should look in the viewfinder and in the pictures. |

left
picture |
right picture |
|

Next the
finished photos need to be placed side by side as a stereo pair. But |
. |
to do this
the left picture needs to be on the right side of the stereo pair and |
. |
the right
picture needs to be on the left side like so: |
. |
left
image (right picture) |
right image (left picture) |
|
|
. |
 |
That's because in cross eyed |
stereo viewing the left eye |
must look at the left picture |
(i.e. the right stereo image) |
and the right eye looks at the |
right picture (i.e. the left |
stereo image). Click here to |
see how to view a stereo |
image if you don't know how. |

|
Also the
distance between the centers if the two images should be about the |
same as
the distance between the pupils of your eyes, or about two and one- |
half
inches. If you did everything right the two images should merge into one |
central 3D
image when you view them cross eyed. If you know how to view |
stereo
images but the ones you created don't look okay when viewed cross |
eyed you
may have inadvertently switched them the wrong way. Try placing |
them the
opposite way
to see if that works. |
. |
You can
view your stereo images on your computer screen, email them to |
friends,
or post them on your web page if you like. You have several options |
for how to
do this depending on whether you used a digital camera or film |
camera to take the photos.

lesson |
is on producing animations
but the principles are the same). |
. |
You can get a free copy of
a stereoscopic 3D imaging software program |
called Images 3D.
You can use it to import original pictures from a flat bed |
scanner or digital camera,
or view film prints that have been digitized and |
saved on a photo CD or
floppy in .bmp ; .jpg ; .jpeg ; .jps ; or .png formats. |
It will automatically create the stereo image pair with the images
in the |
correct transposed position for cross eyed viewing. Or if you prefer
it can set |
up
the images for parallel (wall eyed) viewing or viewing with 3D glasses. |
Images 3D can be downloaded from the web at: |
