Civil War Stereo Views in 3D with 3D Glasses Over 200 hours of antique civil war stereo view conversion to modern red and blue 3D pictures with Photoshop. All you need is a pair of 3d glasses and you will see more depth than the antique stereo views which I made these from. I ran into some Photoshop issues after I realized I could not just run a Photoshop action to make the civilwar stereo views in a short time frame. The civil war stereo views had warp because of age and some damaged on one side which caused the 3d effect to show poorly. I decided to make these 3d pictures in 3d one at a time. Please make note that some pictures you need to reverse your 3d glasses if you cant see the 3D stereo effect. This happen by mistake and I will fix those pictures in the future. | ||

What are you talking about? "Cripling data to anaglyh" If you had a pair of red and blue glasses you would see the Civil War images are not anaglyph but stereo. http://www.3dcivilwar.com Tommy | ||

Tommy, good work on posting these historical photographs! Just a suggestion...Have you considered also posting them in their original side-by-side format rather than converting them to anaglyph stereo (which is what you have with red and blue filters)? You could also reverse the left-right images and save them as JPS format. This would allow visitors to your site to view them in stereo directly using the "relaxed-eye" method ("cross-eye" method for JPS images), or to display them in page-flipped stereo with a viewer such as Peter Wimmer's Stereoscopic Player. Either method gives a clearer image than the color filters. | ||

Actually, while I prefer to avoid anaglyph when possible, since the original photos are Black&White they are not making use of color, so the use of color to define the viewpoint is a good idea. It doesn't degrade the original resolution, or introduce crosstalk (ghosting) as long as glasses using the same type of filters are used (that's usually the hard part). It also conserves bandwidth to 1x, whereas JPS RxL would be 2x. These could also be successfully "de-constructed" again in Photoshop, assuming straighforward color channel manipulation. ...Those are actually Red / Cyan, not Red / Blue correct? OTOH, have you considered using a web plugin, such as Andreas Petersik's Stereoscope java app(sp?) or StereoBee (also java app) or even Vrex's Depthcharge? Then you could save as JPS and have the individual users decice which setup works best for them. I know I prefer sites that make use of such plugins. Nonetheless, you have done a great job in providing those images anyway. Thanks! Scott |
