I really think they're enjoyable to look at.

Andy thanks for the technique for viewing the stereo pairs.

Wow, Excellent work on everything Gentlemen, but The Raining Ducks, Colisseum, Nuts and Bolts, Candy Man and Infinity were amazing.

As for viewing stereograms I have never been able to see anything in them as regards hidden images, but if I know what the image is supposed to be I can make it out .. sometimes. Generally I find that if there are two images, trying to unfocus your eyes until it forms a third central image works best. Same technique for three images, try and look at four etc. and using same unfocussing technique seems to work for the stereograms.

As regards the hidden images, I assume (yes, I know) that "WE" are supposed to see a shape rather than a coloured image ... Let me know if that is wrong.

Great new look to the xaraxone Gary! I always enjoy the stereogram shows and have 3 favorites from this one. Looking forward to this year with the new modified "change is good" "change is good" version of the xaraxone..............still the best site around!

Believe it or not everyone doesn't like what you like and has just as much right to express their dislike as you do to express your rapture at those stereo thingies.

So you can express any opinion you want as long as it's the "politicaly correct" opinion, isn't that about it?

Down with the hoi polloi-how dare the common forum member have an opinion.

As for spare time-how long did it take to make and stare at those hippy drawings vs a few seconds for me to comment on them?

Wow!!! Psychedelic drawings man! Far ooouuutt!! lol!!!

Doug...... Of course, we appreciate any and all positive and helpful comments or opinions here. But the negative comments that belittle, well they can be left at home thanks.

Great renewals in the XaraXone Gary !

And super ST ! Nuts and Bolts, Golden Smiley Face and Collosseum are just awesome

Here's another example of what you can do with a simple stereo effect for a photo. It's just taking a picture (right eye) and then another (left eye) a few inches to the right.

For those who love to look at stereograms I add three Xara files in which you'll find a model for a stereogram scope. The trick from Andy works fine, but with this scope you'll have a broader view. Just copy on thick paper, cut out and glue. (

only for those who have some spare time
