Creating easy masks for stereo slides

[JGoldenRRP@xxxxxxx]

Bruce,
In response to your masking questions.
With an RBT mount you can create easy vertical or horizontal cropping, by
taking aluminum stereo masks, and you can use  any old scrap masks....and
laying them in place over your images which are mounted in one RBT halve,
tabbing them down with Wess Tabs (from Reel 3-D), then just snap the other
RBT halve down on top of it.  I do this all the time and it works well....no
danger to your emulsion.

You can even create a horizontal mask acroos both images by cutting an
aluminum mount and using just the bottom edge piece, lay it in place....and
move the chips back and forth in the RBT sliding track.....so imaging you
have an imgae that you want to bring closer to the window, but there is some
stuff in the lower foreground that is touching the window and keeping the
image back.....just mask that stuff out....and then, with the mask in place,
move the left and right chips closer together....bringing the image closer to
the window as desired.

If anyone would like more info on this, email me and I'll send the RBT
newsletter which explains this a bit more.  Jon Golden RBT USA
