Re: I broke down. Just ordered a laptop PC for one stereo app.

Since I am a firm MAC OS user, I think it will be smarter to have a little PC with Windows and use the legendary Stereo Photo Maker. Like the rest of the world.

Sorry if this is too little too late, but I use SPM on my MacBook Pro with no problems at all, using Wine. Although I'm sure you must have seen on the SPM website that running on the Mac is mentioned.

But I will say that there is something to be said for having a computer dedicated to a particular function, so you may well end up being happier running SPM on its own dedicated machine, even if it is Windows.

It's really too bad that nobody makes 3D laptops and monitors any more.

I am assuming that all on this forum use Stereo Photo Maker. Am I right?

Can't speak to that, but there are 3D related Yahoo groups that have been around for a long time where there are lots of SPM users, and there is even an SPM dedicated list, which has been quiet lately.

Any ideas on JPEG sizes is most welcome.

I go by the principal of capturing at as high rez as possible, do all processing in SPM in one go if possible, to avoid JPEG generational degrading.  Then I will batch export a bunch of SPM images, as needed, at the best size to suit how they will be displayed.
