Actually they do! Problem with amateur type scanning of negatives is getting
rid of the orange tint. Don't know what the pros do about that.
There was a good article (pg.42) about "keeping all the contrast" in the
Sept 96 issue of Popular Photography. This was the How To issue, that also
had a short article about how to achieve your first 3-D fuse and make your
own stereographs. This article was discussed here on P3D at the time.
