Photograph made at the Potawatomi Conservatory in South Bend, Indiana. This is a test run to see if I got the sizing right. For parallel viewing use the left and center images. For crossed eye viewing use the center and right images.

It appears that because the image was smaller than 800 pixels width that it has been upsized. The parallel view is just over the width of comfortable viewing for me. For the crossed eye viewing it is no problem. I guess in the future I can pad the image to bring it up to 800 pixels so that it doesn't get upsized. I hope you are still able to enjoy this.

Edit: Windows viewers can reduce the size of the window to bring the parallel spacing down to a comfortable width.

Your center image which is labeled right and the image to the right of it labeled left work for me.

How does this one work for you?

It was a bit puzzling that you used the crossed eye view on mine and then gave an example set up for parallel viewing. Nevertheless it is a good 3D image. (I can view either way with ease - some people can't.) Good composition and I love the subject.

OK, with my bad eyesight, I will probably not be able to see these image in 3D, but san someone give a web address on what to do to try and see these? Thanks. --Richard

I did a google search for "view 3D image pairs" and it turned up a few websites with tips. In my experience I have found that it comes very easy for some people (like myself) and very difficult for many people. Two images are made, one from the viewpoint of each eye. When viewing, each eye has to see only the image made specifically for that eye and let the brain merge the images to get the 3D effect. I have a stereoscopic viewer for prints and it keeps the images separated. Viewing online requires you to have the ability to let each eye see only the particular image intended for that eye. Depending on how the 3D image was set up you may have to have each eye looking directly at the image in front of it (parallel viewing) or look with crossed eyes, the left eye seeing the right image and vice versa (crossed eye viewing.)

I recommend getting a pair of anaglyph (red and cyan) glasses to view 3D anaglyphs. In an anaglyph the two images are given different color casts and the red and cyan lenses provide the separation. You can get anaglyph glasses made with cardboard very inexpensively. I'm thinking I will only post 3D anaglyphs from now on. When you get the glasses, go to my profile and click on my topics and you will find several anaglyphs. I hope this helps.

Guy, thanks for the info. I could have googled the concept myself, but I wasn't sure what some easy words might have been. With my bad eyesight (legally blind with both eyes having some scar tissue near the central vision or in it), I just couldnot get either technique to work.

We play cards with a friend that has macular degeneration. She regularly gets shots in one eye. She's still able to play cards with large print decks. I guess eyesight is something we think little about until we start losing it. I must give thanks more often.
