Thank you very much for this tutorial. While I knew some of it, your procedure makes thing[s] a whole lot clearer, ordered, and will probably end up making my alignments a lot better and pain free.

"Dear Mike,

You are offering new stereographers a wonderful helping hand. I have just read your first chapter and it is a clear explanation."

Peter Blyth

"Mike,

I recently joined the group, but I have been dabbling in 3D photography for some time now as I have the time. I want to thank you for your excellent tutorials on alignment using SPM . . . Your tutorial makes it possible to harness the wonderful tools it provides . . . I am anxious to learn more and you are an excellent teacher. I feel now that I can make my images do exactly what I want. Thanks again for this excellent tutorial."

Dale Smith

"Hi Mike,

I'm back. I found your Digital 3D Stereo Guide so well written and so informative I had to come back for more."

Best regards,

Barry

To Begin

The Fast Focus Tutorials are mini-manuals, confined to a specific aspect of 3D (stereo) photography. The tutorials are available only as downloadable or ebook files. This serves the dual purpose of keeping them very affordable while minimizing their impact on the environment.

Because the Fast Focus series of 3D stereo tutorials are targeted to cover only the specific subject presented, you may find yourself lacking in needed background information. If that happens, I hope that you will choose one of my other publications to gain the needed information.

The aim here, as always, is to advance the intermediate digital still photographer (or the complete novice) to the point where they can create impeccable, technically perfect, and exciting stereograms.

Figures in the tutorials generally appear in three formats; parallel, cross-view, and anaglyph (not viewable on gray scale ebook readers). Information on how to view stereo pairs is free on my website (enfopress.com), along with a bunch of other useful information and links to resources, such as 3D glasses.

If you cannot free-view parallel images, you will need some type of parallel image viewer. Plastic lorgnettes that are perfectly serviceable can be purchased on-line for just several dollars. Anaglyph (red/cyan) glasses can easily be acquired online; the cheap cardboard type are generally considered to be the best choice for viewing anaglyph images on a computer monitor.

The images (chips) are named left or right for the eye which views them. This is important in cross-views where the left view chip is on
