Larry, I'm just wondering, have you tried freeviewing those Magic Eye 3-D
images that were very popular a few years back? You might want to try
that. There are a lot of good resources on the net. One you might want
to try is,
http://www.vision3d.com/

As Robert Thorpe said, it's a matter of practise. Much like Robert , all I
could do at the beginning was cross-eye freeview. Parallel took quite
a bit of work for me. With practise I got pretty good at it and now can
even easily freeview images much wider than parallel. Others on this
list had the opposite experience. They could easily parallel view but
had a hard time learning to cross-view. With practise they were able
to and now are comfortable with both methods. Moral of this message
is, don't give up hope! :-)

Even without being able to freeview while composing 3-D images on
a computer, why not just use those viewing aids? For example the
either the PokeScope or the View-Magic side by side viewer?

Regarding cropping stereoprints and avoiding window violations, the
easiest and safest way of doing this (you don't even have to view the
images stereoscopically to achieve this, although of course you
should) is to determine which picture element is closest in the scene.
Overlap the two images and then adjust till the two closest elements
are superimposed (you might want to shine a bright light behind
them when adjusting). Now holding the two images securely, you
trim the two images to any width desired (keeping infinity points in
mind).

You can have objects protrude the surface of the image. Main thing to
keep in mind is if you do have anything protrude the surface, to make
sure it doesn't touch the edges. Sometimes it will work but this
depends on many factors. In your "Stormi Blows" (very nice BTW!) if
the bubbles floating off the image were not so close to the edge, it
would have worked very well.
