Helping to make stereoscopic 3D accessible to everyone
Tag: photography
You don’t need expensive cameras or software to make your own stereoscopic 3-D images. It’s relatively easy and there’s currently a real buzz on social media with people making their own stereoviews with smartphones and sharing them, especially on Instagram, so this tutorial will be keeping this in mind.
I'm aware that not everyone will be able to use Stereo Photo Maker to make stereoviews, especially some Mac users, so I thought I'd write a tutorial to explain how to align images and turn them into a stereocard which can be printed off - all whilst only using Photoshop.
I wanted to share some amateur autochrome stereoviews from my collection so anyone unfamiliar with the process can see how beautiful they are.
Nishika 3-D N8000s were first produced in 1989 and were four lens (quadrascopic) cameras designed to produce four half-frame instantaneous images from a click of the shutters. Lenticular prints could be made from the negatives. Nowadays you're most likely to see animated 3-D GIFs or 'Wigglegrams' made from them on Instagram, especially if you follow the coolest people.
