want to use anaglyph 3D?

the red/green messes up colours
it always looks pretty blurry
and it tends to hurt the eyes.<

I think others have provided adequate answers to the "why". It's almost
entirely a matter of convenience. I would add that I think the whole
business of anaglyphs of color pictures is particularly silly. There may =
be
earlier examples, but I think the whole thing started when anaglyph video=
s
were made for television syndication in the early '80s of several of the
(originally polarized) 3D movies of the 1950s. I thought the results look=
ed
ugly then, and I still think so. I'll always remember "Hondo" in
particular, for John Wayne wore and red and blue bandana around his neck
and in anaglyph it's wiggling and writhing like something alive that's
trying to strangle him!
