It’s time for everyone to process their 3Ds! Now, anyone can! And this new book by Edward Mitchell shows us how.
Using free software that runs on Windows-based personal computers, or free or low-cost apps for iPad or Android tablets and smart phones, your stereo photographs can be turned into viewable 3D photos for display on your computer, displayed online or printed on paper or turned in to glasses free 3D prints (for a service fee).
While 3D TVs and monitors provide the best viewing experience, you can get started with free or very low cost filtered glasses. You’ll even learn how to create stereoscopic photos that can be viewed without any glasses or special hardware.
Guide to 3D Photograph covers learning “how to see in 3D” to achieve the best 3D effects while avoiding common 3D problems that can ruin 3D photos or cause eyestrain for viewers. The book also covers methods for shooting 3D with one camera, with two cameras, or with commercially made, special purpose 3D cameras, and viewing 3D photos on 3D monitors.
Advanced topics include the concept of a 3D “depth box”, the importance of the spacing between the left and right image lenses and how that impacts depth captured in the photograph, advanced image processing techniques and methods of creating “wiggle” animated 3D images, as well as red/cyan, green/magenta, yellow/blue and amber/blue anaglyphs.
166 single spaced Microsoft Word pages. Over 100 photos including red/cyan anaglyph 3D, cross-eyed 3D and 2D photographs. Over 50 illustrations/drawings or screen shots.
