AUGH!!! This kind of stuff drives me MAD!!! This person is claiming to
make 3D pictures by separating and off-settig the red channel of a 2D
image. This simly makes the 2D image fall behind a "window. It does not
make it 3D!!! Not only does this kind of thing give ananglyphs a bad
name (beacuse they will convert any color image into an anaglyph - which
is not always good) but they also give 3D in general a bad name because
there is nothing 3D about it!!! To top it all off, they even use red
right instead of red left. AMAZING! How about we all write and let them
know about real 3D images... =)
