What is the attraction of anaglyphs?

International Stereoscopic Union covers....many parallel shots inside.  Fits the cover idea.

I can not speak for all Dave, but I have a clue that it may offer a viable no eyball effort option to many for whatever reason., or the history of red blue is now legion and even kind of faddy Seen in ads too.( Q No.maybe some others have a point of view and care to contribute).

i am not anti anaglyphs but as you do, I prefer the pairs. No retinal rivalry and no reduction in intensity and just as good in color as black and white....As I inferred, there are a few true anaglyph artists who understand the technique and offer some that are not half bad. Thus I think it competes. And maybe beats some lesser misaligned and poorly chosen color separations. This Dutch photographer is not half bad IMO. And sometime his work is striking...as photography and stereography and capitalizing on the anaglyph method to its fullest.... PS. I have several plastic framed red and cyan glasses and they are I am sure improved over the cardboard variety given out with mags.) What do you think.. decide: Ciaio Gerry...Frankly I do not think you will gain any scope from the readership of this somnombulent forum. Also, Hillary Hess did a survey on her site and found the cross vs parallel was 50-50. A few expert NSA members like Susan Pinsky always posts three pairs so one can choose. Yet another stereo guru Ron Labbe reminds all that this cuts down on the size, I learned to free view both ways as a youngster...is it like piano lessons, best done early? I get an international pub, the ISU journal Stereoscopy now and then. Their covers are often anaglyphs for size...and the internal photos are small paralllel pairs. Which pony will we choose to ride. Any. All, Or maybe burros
