[photo-3d] Re: making jps files

[Ron Beck <rbeck@xxxxxxxx>]

So, if I take my Loreo prints, scan them, save as .jps and run the
fixjps.exe program to indicate wall-eye, I would have files viewable
through Depthcharge?

Wow, what a concept.  Especially since I recently had a couple of rolls
of Loreo shots put on Photo CD when I developed them.  Maybe I'll have
to search for the fixjps.exe file and give it a try.

Regards,
Ron
