Step 15Parting Words
A few parting notes:
1. The most natural stereo depth perception is at about 30X the baseline distance. For most lenses using this technique, that means head shots or macros. Shots at greater distances will show very subtle depth cues... and also be viewable as 2D images.
2. Highly saturated colors that are only passed on one side of the anaglyph will be hard to visually fuse, flipping between color and black when viewed. Although it is possible to partially correct this with fancy post processing, scenes that avoid such colors will look best.
3. 2D text added to an anaglyph will appear at the display surface. This makes a very nice way to label images without synthesizing anaglyph shading of text.
4. High-quality conversion of anaglyphs in one color set to other 3D representations, including other anaglyph color sets, is a research topic, not an established technology.
Now that you know what you're doing, go take 3D pictures!

Would you post a wiggle-gram of one your images?
For other readers:

Here's a B&W wiggle-gram constructed using GIMP to separate the left and right sides, convert each to B&W, and then combine them as a 250ms-per-frame looping animated GIF. The result is slightly wrong due to the different color sensitivities of the left and right images within the anaglyph, but it is directly viewable....
Can't wait to try this.
This really shows how brilliant your single lens anaglyph method is.
Absolutely incredible to realize that the different sides of a lens produce different angles of view on the film or sensor.
Just a superb i'ble.
