If you’re going for a full stereocard, all you need to do now is to go back to the top layer, double click on the thumbnail image and make sure all three channels are ticked. If at this point you want to save the image as an anaglyph, just go to the ‘File’ menu and ‘Save’ as a JPEG, or whatever file type you prefer. If you’re interested in more information about the ‘stereo window’ please click here. You need to crop both images again so that this part of the picture disappears and they are both the same size. If things come out of the window which shouldn’t, click the Move tool and, using the left arrow key of your keyboard, move the top layer to the left until everything is inside the window. If you’ve moved it, you’ll now see a black strip on the right of your picture. To make sure everything is in the window, first select the top layer. In that case, the bottom layer is the left image and the top one is the right image make sure you swap them in the Layers panel and change the Colour channels as above. If you think the background seems to be coming out while the foreground seems to be receding to the back, it means you are dealing with a pseudoscopic picture (the left and right images are the wrong way round). If you put your anaglyph glasses on (just a quick note that when wearing anaglyph glasses the red filter should be on the left eye), you should see your image in 3-D. Skip this step if you’re making an anaglyph only. You will need a template for the stereocard backing, so I’m showing one I created which is the same size as a standard Victorian stereoview. ![]() So in a nutshell: know which image is for which side, and also if you use low-resolution images your stereoview won’t look great and I’ll chase you with a big stick.ĬREATE A BACKGROUND TEMPLATE FOR A STEREOVIEW Once you have a scanned file, cut out each side, save them as two separate files, and name them so you can identify each side easily as the left and the right image.įor later projection, or to make a standard stereoview, the parallel-viewing format must be used – that is the left eye image is on the left side and the right-eye image is on the right side. For smaller originals, like Verascope glass slides, View-Master or Stereo Realist slides, I’d scan at a minimum of 2400 dpi. I typically scan the standard-sized 17.5cm x 8.5cm Victorian stereocards at 1200 dpi which is adequate for projection, but the higher the better (but please note that the highest possible resolution scan may take until Christmas). You can also use digital files which you have taken sequentially with a single-lens camera or one file which includes each half of the stereoview and cut them into a right and left file. I scanned it using an Epson V8000 Photo scanner at a high resolution (4000 dpi) so I can make high-quality slides for projection or stereocards.Īll you need is a left and a right image. For this tutorial, I used 35mm slide film from my Iloca Stereograms analogue camera. The first and most important step depends on which images you are using but it is to make sure that you have high-resolution images to make the best possible stereoviews. ![]() Some examples include the mirror stereoscope made by nvp3d, or the ‘ Pixie 3D Viewer‘ made by Loreo (see my How to View Stereoscopic 3-D Images tutorial). All you need is a pair of anaglyph glasses, which you can find easily on Amazon or eBay, and maybe a stereoscope designed especially for use with computer monitors, but this isn’t vital. This Photoshop extension gives you access to realistic media brushes and is one of the most popular plugins for digital artists.I’m aware that not everyone will be able to use StereoPhoto Maker to make stereoviews and anaglyphs, especially some Mac users, so I thought I’d write a tutorial to explain how to align images and turn them into a stereocard which can be printed off – all whilst only using Photoshop.įor this tutorial, I used Adobe Photoshop CC 2019, but older versions will work the same. One of the best tools for painters is NKS5. This plugin only works with the 32-bit version of Photoshop and you can install it by copying it to your Photoshop\Plug-ins\Filters folder. ![]() For images with motion blur, the streaks are still there but the sharpness is improved and you can see much more details with it deblurred. I did some tests and used the Gaussian Blur filter to give it a 1px blur and it was able to deblur it with great results (see thumbnail on the left). It won’t magically fix the most blurry photo and it isn’t made for motion blur, but for small blurs, it does a surprisingly good job. If you need to rescue that photo, this plugin will deblur your photo. Every photographer has a nice photo ruined by misfocusing.
