Leah looks OK to me, and I agree that stereo imaging is an imperfect medium
with perpetual compromises. Still I would never give up enjoying 3-D images
for themselves under any circumstances.

Another item for me with these is the fact that it has been only VERY
recently and because of P-3D that I have, after 40 years in stereo, been
able to do any successful cross-eyed viewing. By following the directions
provided by some members of the group I can see these images in depth, but
still not comfortably. Parallel viewing has always been very easy for me;
cross-eyed now possible. Thanks.
