You're welcome Patrick. I import both original raw images into a program called StereoPhoto Maker running on a Windows 10 PC. The program can apparently be used on Macs too, but I have not used or installed the program on one. It's a freeware program you can download from here: http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/

The program has an automatic feature that will align both images and perform a bunch of other fine tuning measures, then you can also do many manual adjustments as well to fine tune the look of the 3D image as well. The program is able to save a 3D image in several modes too, such as anaglyph or Crossview/Parallel side-by-side etc., depending on how you wish to view them.

I however do not save the 3D images directly from StereoPhoto Maker, I just save the newly aligned images as 2 separate copies of the originals, then import the 2 new images into Photoshop CS5, where I then do a vast number of other manual adjustments to them before saving the pairs as separate crossview, parallel, and anaglyph 3D images. I then upload my parallel 3D image versions here for Phereo for them to process and display in their viewer,

Thank you for your answer. Which program do you use to create the 3d image then?

Hello Patrick, the cha-cha method is the way you take and create 3D images using a single non-3D camera. The method is done by taking two separate images from slightly different angles of the subject. Take one photo of the subject, then simple move your camera on a horizontal plane either left or right from the first shot taken, then snap another photo. Then the two images can be used to create a 3D image. All my 3D images are created in this manner.

very nice picture. What is cha-cha method?

Super!

Nice frame!!!

Coming up from the barn on a cold, foggy December night, I placed my flashlight on the ground and snapped a couple pics of the beam going out into the void somewhere.

Spectacular!

Very nice work and shot, Graig!

Great framing.

Yes Randy, there are probably more than hundred+ videos of it on Youtube, accumulating since the battlefield was first built over a decade ago.

Youtube has some videos from prior events.

Very nice picture!

Very lovely, how you can see trough those wings.

Красавец!
