P3D digital and film

[John Toeppen <toeppen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Digital cameras are suitable for stereophotographic work. 
Unfortunately, there is not much cropping latitude, and a pair would be
useful.
The Kodak Photo CD at 4000 lines is not lossless, and they do have a
8000 line scan (nearly lossless-is grain worth recording).  Perhaps a
useful resolution for photogrammetry (map making)but to large to be
useful on a high quality monitor for PC viewing.  My advice is to buy a
good film scanner.
I love my iiyama vision masters - I can run them at 117Htz and be
flicker-free with my VRex $50 shuttered glasses.  The angular size of my
monitor is larger than the apparent size of the image in my red buttons
or kodaslides, reveres, etc.  Sure, the resolution is less than film,
but the colors are bright and true. The image is comfortable to view. 
This can create a very good sense of being there.  Visit my site and see
where I go to capture my images.  
The images are usually down to 768 or 864 vertical lines when saved as
80 or 95% JPS files.  My image sizes are typically 370 to 500K.  The
images on my web site are compressed to 100K or so to get them across
the wire.  Well, some are much larger.
I don't understand why one would bother with anaglyph conversion. 
DepthCharge 3D sotware from vrex.com will convert automatically.  You
just create a crosseye (RL) jpeg file and drop it into DepthCharge for
automatic anaglyph conversion to a "color, gray, or pure" anaglyph pair
for red/blue, blue/red, red/green, etc, page flipping, interlaced (right
first), interlaced (left first),VR Surfer Classic, SSDI, whatever.
So, I now have a cable connect and a new site to load.  You will like
the fast downloads when it happens.
