Hi Mark and welcome to the list :)

I dont do many anaglyph, I tend to use Paint Shop Pro and do it by hand, but 
The Stereo Image Factory seems very good and comes highly recommended by
other people. Have a look at  http://members.aol.com/threedr/ A special extended
45 day trial version is also on Dan Shelley's 3D-CD...

....also Duke Nukem has an anaglyph mode (you need to edit a text file to set the
screen type), and Magic Carpet had both an anaglyph mode and a SIRD mode. As
an aside , SIRDS where my route into stereo photography, about 5-6 years ago. I 
searched the net (in those days mainly ftp sites) for images and began finding these
"weird" two picture images... eventually I figured that maybe if I looked at them in the
same way they'd be 3D. It took a lot of practice to diverge my eyes enough. Eventually
I discovered photo-3d (from the bobcat ftp site) and I've been here ever since. I've
owned a Loreo, a 3D Wizard, a Beam Splitter (Chinese) and a QDOS lense for my
Minolta SLR. Now a days I have a 3.5 Realist, 2.8 Realist, Sputnik, Red Button Viewer
and a couple of lubitels that I intend to convert into a closeup macro stereo camera.

Oh yeah, since we're all admitting to our age.... I was born in 1966.
