You are rather vague about exactly what you are doing. I gather you are somehow superimposing two shots, one made through a red and one through a blue filter. I've always had a rather jaundiced opinion of color anaglyphs, because there is just too much conflict between the colors in the scene and the anaglyphic tints. Furthermore, although I know a couple of experimenters who play with shooting through colored filters, I've never seen pictures shot through a filter that work well in 3D. A colored filter just doesn't create the same coloration as a "normal" anaglyph. A 3D comic book or other anaglyph publication features images in which the DARK areas are the anaglyphic color--that is, they are red and white/blue and white, whereas in a filtered photo it is the LIGHT areas that get tinted (they are in effect black and red/black and blue), making for an entirely different effect through the glasses.
