T3D red/blue vs. red/cyan etc.

Okay, Ole, but your response to my post did not address the subject at
hand.  Now that you've changed the subject, lets talk filters - an area I
am very interested in.

>>- at least on the web.

I have experimented with all sorts of anaglyph glasses in the past year,
and have found the colors in my color anaglyphs to be brightest and most
contrasty in red/blue glasses.  (For example, the yellows and blues in
Atlas Industrial Robot <http://www.starosta.com/3dshowcase/ihex.html> are
more intense through red/blue glasses - either on the monitor, or on my
fine art prints).

Red/cyan glasses generally give me a brighter view, but certainly not more
colorful/contrasty.  Depending on the colors that you wish to convey,
red/green may also work better, but I've designed my color anaglyphs for
red/blue, as these are the easiest glasses to obtain (for the use of my
clients).

Maybe it's just my eyes!  What is the experience of other users on this list?

Faraday was asked first by Queen Victoria of what use electricity was, and
replied that the question might similarly be asked of an infant; someday,
it would become an adult and then the answer would be known.
