Callipygian 3D Photo Editing Software

Callipygian 3D Photo Editing Software --a fast, easy way to generate full-color anaglyph (red/cyan and other modes) images from a pair of stereo images, as well as Holmes stereo cards. The software automatically handles images of different sizes, and lets you quickly and easily select a region of interest, position the stereo window, adjust a screen-resolution representation, and generate a full-resolution image.

While it was nice to see this on TV, they made many technical errors with their description! Please read my manual (link below) and don’t rely on the information you saw in the video.

Types of 3D Images

Callipygian 3D lets you generate two types of 3D image: Anaglyphs, where the left and right channels are separated by colors, and Stereo Cards, where the left and right images are printed side-by side and viewd with a special viewer.

Anaglyphs

You can generate several different types of color and black-and-white Anaglyphs:

• Red Cyan Full Color
• Default mode that takes the Red component from the Left image, and the Cyan component from the Right Image
• Red Cyan Tweaked Color
• Similar to above, but with primary colors (R, G, B) desaturated to reduce retinal rilvalry.
• Red Cyan Graysale Red
• The left channel is converted to Grayscale using the NTSC YUV colorspace and mapped to the red channel. This makes an easier-to-see 3D image, at the expense of color fidelity.
• Red Cyan Black White
• Both Left and Right are converted to Grayscale. This makes an easy-to-see 3D image, but with no color information
• Green Magenta Full Color
• Uses Green/Magenta instead of Red/Cyan. For LCD projectors viewed with polarized glasses on a sliver screen
• Magenta Green Full Color
• Uses Magenta/Green instead of Red/Cyan, as above

Holmes Stereo Cards

Callipygian 3D can also be used to edit and print Holmes stereo cards (stereocards)  from your stereo pair.
