   I'm familiar with the true stereographic 3D you mention.  I'm specifically
refering to those who literally round corners and/or add Drop-Shadows to
call an image "3D".  I think Photoshop has a plug-in for this that does
it at the push of a button!  

   I really enjoy CG Stereo when it done right!  I could look at those all day!!
