Making a Traditional Anaglyph Image from a Single Shot

My husband and I went to see a RealD 3D movie today. After I got home, I wondered whether there was a way to make images in Photoshop that would look 3d when viewed with the RealD 3D glasses we ***didn't*** recycle at the end of the movie. After all, the movie looked like a 90-minute ViewMaster reel.....

After some Googling, I realized that there is no way to simulate the look, due to a complex polarization technology. This led me back to playing with traditional red-cyan anaglyphs. While there are many DIY tutorials out there (more than a few which are unnecessarily complicated), the one I used at PhotoKaboom is pretty intuitive.

Here's the result (you'll need the old-fashioned 3d glasses with one cyan lens and one red lens to see it properly):



Your mileage may vary. (Note that because I didn't have the same version of Photoshop as the author, I did not distort the layers before moving the cyan one.)

The Pickup Artist (Sepia-Toned Nature Photography)

Drop-offs and pickups are one of the more mundane tasks associated with being an artist who showcases her work in area venues.

Yesterday, I transferred my two pieces from the NH Art Association's juried Parfitt show over to the Association's Small Works Gallery.

I also delivered two new pieces to the Association's main gallery for its newest show, entitled "Views of the World Through the Artists' Eye."







I arrived close to the end of the day, so several other pieces -- in a variety of media -- had already been delivered by this time. Even though it's a non-juried member show, all members must be juried into the Association. As such, the overall quality of the show promises to be quite high.

I encourage you to attend the opening reception for "Views of the World Through the Artists' Eye" on Friday, October 7, 2011 from 5-8PM. The show runs through the last weekend of October.

Today is the last day to see "the Vision and the Word at Exeter Town Hall. My husband Darren and I both have pieces in the show, as do several WCA-NH members. I especially encourage you to see the assemblages by Linda Aronson, who runs an antiques shop just a few doors down from Town Hall.
