P3D Re: PHOTO-3D digest 2568

Could someone who can see this phenomenon view the same photo with a
pair of the Wendy's Chromadepth glasses?  Compare the view with the
pinhole viewer as well as the chromadepth glasses and report on the
results.

I would try, but I don't see the depth with the pinhole cards.  In fact,
I see more depth with the chromadepth glasses in the photo I've been
using.

Ron
