An enjoyable visit ...

... to a 13th Century ruined Cistercian Abbey at Corcomroe, County Clare, West of Ireland, three days ago.

Drone photography may have spoiled me for conventional 3D and I can't afford the drone I want for the few opportunities for this kind of capture that I envisage.:-(

Well done and a nice theme! 👏

Beautiful set.  Thanks for sharing.  I really enjoyed looking.

Ron, reading this quote from your post in an adjoining thread:

"... I built 3D feedback systems for allowing remote operation of large and complex industrial machines. ..."

Very interestiing stuff !

I admire the discipline required for 3D intended for real world industrial or medical applications.

I have only whimsical, entertainment considerations regarding stereo photography, wanting to reproduce results at Classic Stereo Card scale. Not averse to tweaking depthmaps by hand in Photoshop, I like to extend the background of conventional stereos rearwards as in the pictures below.

Modified version:-

Gleninagh Tower, Co. Clare, Ireland.

Original capture:-

Fine result.  I never did digital editing for 3D.  I just played with camera placement, screen placement, angles ov view  and focal lengths.

I dont really understand how you can get to this result without skewing the images.

Regards.

So for the previous picture this is the mask. All that mid gray mask area does not alter the original stereo image, while the lighter gradient goes to white, does so progressively. I work with the Anaglyph to see the changes better and the only layer that shifts is the Red one. The Cyan layer stays the same. After the modification, I re-separate them into Side by Sides for archive or other outputs like Xeye.

Take the original Side by Side; superimpose Left image onto Right; switch off Blue and Green channels of Left image to convert to Anaglyph; displace (top) Left image using mask; switch Cyan back on again and re-separate the two layers into Side by Side.

Only the background of the original Left image has been progressively moved further Left. The Right image remains unchanged. (Or whichever you choose.) One can't use sharp edges or it can show two images where it has moved, the new and the original, hence the blurred filter. Great accuracy is not required.

As previously mentioned, it is for Classic Stereo Card use, NOT large screen, VR, Remote Nuclear fuel element recovery nor Keyhole Surgery.
