Absolutely!!

And an easy way to do that is with the RMM Stereo Window Tutorial
Slide set...if I must say so myself.  :-)  The initial batch of this
new product sold out almost immediately, but will be shipping again
next week (when I return from the PSA conference--if I can ever get
away to make it there this week!)  Check the Sell-3D archives for
ordering information, or contact me via the rmm3d.com web site.

I definitely agree.  Many people don't understand the difference
between good mounting and poor mounting.  (Unfortunately, even
judges of stereo competitions don't necessarily understand the
difference.)

David Kesner and I invite all stereophotographers to send us samples
of their work for free mounting evaluation.  Contact either of us
off-list.
