Mr. Obvious,
Why couldn’t you do the same thing with the transform option in Photoshop?
Seems to be an even easier and much less expensive way to accomplish the
same thing….
Could you give us a link to an example of your simple method? Greetings, Alex
Hmmm I thought it was another spam so I kill-filed the poster without reading the messages (I believe I saw more than one?). I don’t know what
the original message says, but about 3D stuff I can give some info
– There are some plug-ins, actions or trick to turn a regular photos into
3D. I tried to view some of them without 3D glass so I can’t see any sepcial but kinda blurry, OFF photo.
– And there are expensive and cheap adapter to add to film and digital camera, as well as some tricks to turn 2 (some uses 3 lenses) cheap digital
cameras into 3D camera. Or it uses 2 lenses to capture the left/right edges/angles of the object then merge them together.
I have liked looking at stereogram and saved some links
so many times in past I could never see them
then I figured out cause my eyes focus at different distance I have to turn
my face a little and start up close
I made a couple but only using software, I am pretty sure there is more to
it than just two images alike
it is something about depth maps
and there are some cameras that shoot it that way
You seem to have links to several different types of 3-D
Here are the links I saved

http://www.colorstereo.com/1_homep.age/directry.htm (this guy is the BEST I
have seen!!!!)
This one requires Red+Blue eyeglass to see which I don’t have the eyeglass
http://www.custom-stereograms.com/html/gallery_1.html
This one has other image on top of other, this type of 3-D you often see on
newspaper, or books. You just need to bring the image very close to your eyes, then the darker (main photo) will appear while the other will be blurred (like Out Of Focus).
This type I don’t have problem viewing most of them.

Too many for me to go through so I skip this one. But I don’t see anything about the 3-D camera, or camera with 2-3 lenses.
Because I never tried any of the techniques except the more simple type stereogram hiding an object depth map under a pattern
and had only a brief interest in this topic
so I shared the things I had bookmarked
I am sure google will turn up some info on stereoscopic cameras
as far as this site
This one requires Red+Blue eyeglass to see which I don’t have the eyeglass
I didn’t have the glasses either
I made my own using small pieces of red and blue (cyan) gels we use for lighting
most photo studios will have some around, just tape to front of your own glasses or remove lenses from old sunglasses and tape them on
I was never able to see the magic of this until one day I stared and stared at this, I find the image lovely anyway but after seeing the magic inside it I was totally excited and looked at many

I think being a visual artist actually makes it more difficult to unfocus your eyes and see "in front"
and because we tend to read images in a very literal manner with left brain
then that parable site the guy found the spiritual symbolism.. it was very creative thought
ON HIS PAGE the guy says he DOES use Photoshop
The question I’m most asked is: what program or programs do I use to create my stereograms. There is an underlying implication that it is the software that makes the stereogram. This is only true with SIS and SIRDS. I don’t make too many SIS and SIRDS for just that reason. Too much of the creation process is in the hands of a program; not enough in my artistic senses. I prefer to be at one with the creation process; I want control.
What it ultimately comes down to for me is eyeballs and trackballs. All the other effects you see come from digital image processing skills which have nothing to do with stereogram creation, per se. That being said, my current hardware & software plays on combinations of the following for a variety of stereogram techniques.

There are still a number of stereograms on Color Stereo I made with my ATARI Falcon. Atari, the unsung also-ran platform (using windows in 1984) had built-in 16bit color. I’d installed a preemptive multitasking system, and my primary image-processing software had become Apex. When Atari Computers came to an end, I chose to switch to the Macintosh platform.
Currently, I’m using an Intel Mac Pro. The new Intel Macs can run multiple OS’s, but do not support OS 9 (Classic) or any Mac OS previous to Tiger, which is unfortunate. I have a two monitor setup: both 22" with 1280 x 1024 resolution. Though this is effectively 2560 x 1024, it is really only practical working on one screen. Using the other monitor for palettes, and music player is a tremendous productivity boost. For acquiring digital images to work with, I have the usual items you would expect: a scanner, and digital camera.
My main program is Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is certainly not a dedicated stereogram tool, but I always seem to find something in it that does most of what I need. Since I use it for all my Web images, digital retouching, and other graphics needs, I stick with it for autostereograms. It is my other world.
I’ve now begun to experiment with 3-D applications. Strata 3D works well for a variety of things. I also use Amorphium Pro. Amorphium is an interesting application
