A great idea Brian. After I got in bed last night (where I do my best thinking and planning) I said to myself what I need is a check list of all the steps needed to make a anaglyph. There it is in the first e-mail I look at. Thank You

Hi John,

 

A good idea which has been suggested in the past...

 

It may be beneficial for us to write down (or type up)...

 

        The English language is so weird I don't know how members

        from other countries cope with it.  A "fat chance" and a "slim chance"

        can mean the same thing... Slow up, slow down, etc...     : )

 

... a Checkpoint list and go over it before saving any anaglyph or stereo image.

 

Your list may go something like this one...

 

Check for...

 

    1.  Alignment

    2.  Horizontal Levelness

    3.  Color Balance

    4.  De-ghosting

    5.  Retinal Rivalry (R/R)

    6.  Window Violations (WV)

    7.  Sync Problems

    8.  Resolution

    9.  Resizing

    10. Naming format (name_description_date_format -> (A = Anaglyph, X = Cross view, PH = Phantogram)

 

You get the idea I'm sure.

 

When you've done enough anaglyphs, thereby making the checklist a habit, you can probably forego the physical check list (if you wish) since it should eventually become a mental reflex.

 

Cheers,

Brian

Thanks Marshall. A couple of the members have helped me out on this. It seems I get so wrapped up working to make anaglyphs that I overlook things that I should'nt. No more WV.

This view reminds me of the album cover for the Eagles' "Hotel California" record or CD.  John, it seems evident that you have little understanding about the

concept of the stereo window, and how to properly adjust it.  If you notice,  much of the picture frame appears to be slicing into the view.  It's as though somehow

the casino started moving forward on your computer screen and into your room.  Just as that would be a most unpleasant occurance in the real world, it's also a

major problem for a stereo picture, which is supposed to give a good representation of what we see with our own two eyes.

 

Sometimes we deliberately show objects that appear to come right off the screen, which can be a pleasant experience.  But while that is acceptable, it is almost

 never correct for objects to appear to be touching, or being sliced into by the window.  In SPM the problem is usually rectified  in the Adjust mode by successively depressing the right arrow key while viewing.  Use this mode after first allowing for auto aligning in the Adjust>autoalignment mode. As you press the right arrow key the scene will appear to recede back from the plane of your computer screen and appear as if you are looking at it from behind a window, rather than the scene appearing to be spilling out onto your floor.

 

Once the scene is comfortably behind the window, then convert to anaglyph.  If you like, you can still use the keyboard arrows to further tweak the stereo window

for optimum placement.

 

Hopefully this will give you an instant visualization of the stereo window concept, and how to adjust  for it properly.  Good luck.

 

Marshall
