Stereo Anaglyph - Align and generate 3D images from stereo pairs

KevinR

Just as an interesting tool, attached is a macro for generating a stereo red/cyan anaglyph image from right/left image pairs. 

Options are to take a single image with left and right halves for the left/right (or right/left) views, or two separate images (which must the same size/class), fusing them into a single color image that provides a 3D perspective. There is an additional option (recommended) to align the images prior to fusion, using the Alignment tools in Image-Pro Plus. 

These require red/cyan stereo glasses (http://www.google.com/search?q=red+cyan+glasses) to provide a 3D effect - these glasses are relatively inexpensive; Amazon for example carries some for under a dollar. 

Good test images for this macro can be found at http://www.google.com/search?q=stereo+pair+mars&tbm=isch or just by searching for stereo pair images.
