Thanks Van.

 

Here's a little info for anyone interested...

 

    I framed it this way for a reason.  Although there's not extreme depth in this image, I thought it best to do some inventive cropping.  The bottom right corner came towards the viewer but because the optical zoom lens complicates focusing anything but the main subject (DOF), the bottom right corner showed extreme out of focus blossoms and branches.  Although other parts may not be as sharply focused for the same reason, the bottom right was the worst because it was physically closer to the lens.  I decided to crop it but to make things look uniform compositionally, I cropped the other corners as well.  The top left had nothing in it anyway so that also benefited like the bottom right from cropping.  Once cropped, it was a simple matter in PS to produce a frame while I was there.  After saving it in PS, I imported the image back into SPM and framed it again there, being able to off-set the depth to create a 3D frame effect and sign my name (optional) at the depth I chose.  As you can see, the signature appears on the surface of the image rather than on top of the frame.

 

Saving the image from SPM doesn't color code the image correctly for all image viewers, so I brought the image up in Irfanview and re-saved it with the correct RGB color code.  I had to save it first from SPM however to retain the 3D frame effect.  Only COPYING the image from SPM into Irfanview doesn't capture the frame created in SPM, so I had to save it and then import it into Irfanview and save it again (also selecting the correct RGB color code while I was there). 

 

Sorry if this is confusing, but so far no one that I know of has addressed this issue to the group.  Meaning that if you frame the image in SPM, and copy the image for saving in another application for correct color code, the frame portion will be lost.  However, if you SAVE instead of COPY in SPM, you save the image WITH the frame in tact.  Then if you're conscientious, you can correct the color code which I usually do in Irfanview.  You could use PS or some other application as well.

 

If you only use SPM to save your anaglyph, some image viewers will see the correct colors but a few others may not.  This is why I usually save the final version in an application that provides a selection for the correct color code so that all image viewers will see the correct color.

 

If you do not create a frame for the image in SPM, you can copy the image instead of saving it from SPM and paste into another image editor to save it with the proper color code.

 

I've attached a slightly different version of the same finch.
