3D Pictures

Enter the world of 3D photography! Zoner Photo Studio provides you a great chance to display objects in simulated 3D. All you need is two slightly different photos of the picture’s subject and a pair of 3D glasses. Don’t believe us?

Turning Photos into a 3D Image

A photograph is a flat projection of a real-world image. People experience the space around them through the views of two eyes, and the resulting image is stored in the brain. Each of our two eyes sees the objects around it from a slightly different angle, and our impression of seeing in 3D is created by the joining of these two different views. If, when viewing a picture, each eye sees “its” corresponding image, such a projection also appears to be 3D.

A composite picture of this sort can therefore be viewed using special glasses with one red lens and one blue lens; each eye thus sees only a part of the picture, and so the desired three-dimensional effect arises. The resulting images are called anaglyphs.

What Makes ZPS A Great Choice for Making 3D Pictures?

3D images viewable using red-blue glasses are no fantastic novelty, but Zoner Photo Studio is still a fantastic way to compose them.

A great advantage over other, similar products is the entirely automatic seeking of common points in the two images used, and thus precise joining even for images where the camera was inadvertently tilted, raised, or lowered between shots. This makes the time-consuming and annoying task of seeking the proper shot positionings by hand unnecessary. Another advantage of this is that the photographs need not be taken from a tripod and thus you can decide to prepare a 3-D shot no matter where you’re shooting. And if any problems with the composing occur, you can hand-edit the individual common points and adjust other shot settings.

When viewing the image using colored lenses, the viewer will normally encounter a shift of its colors in comparison to the original image. Zoner Photo Studio offers the possibility of optimizing the shot’s color range so that it is viewed as well as possible, or of making the image "black and white."

Note: some persons with vision defects may not perceive anaglyphs as 3D images - they will see them as flat or only see one half or the other.
