Red/Blue stereo photo, how?

[wbill]

NASA has some great 3D pics and I would like to know how to make them. So far, I can subtract the color and colorized the left and right but can't combine them into one photograph. Any help or direction pointing would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Hi there and welcome to the forum.

Never tried it but there's a tutorial for doing it in Photoshop here (http://publish.uwo.ca/~schuppli/educator/info/3d.html) - I think it would be doable in Elements but you'd need to download an add-in that let's you separate the colour channels - Grant's tools, Graffi's actions, Richard Lynch's Power Tools all have them.

Let us know if you get it to work. I found an old pair of 3D glasses while cleaning up my desk recently and was thinking of giving it a try.

Thank you for the welcome. Here is a link to NASA on making these photos in Adobe Photoshop:

The article mentions color channels. I'm assuming that means a plugin is needed. Thanks for your response. Bill

Bill, thanks for the link. I looked at the website, looks interesting. I haven't tried making 3d objects yet, time to give it a try.:o

Hi Bill

Welcome.:)

One of the tools that Tony mentioned should set you up.
