    Hi Gary
    I can't see this. Do we need to look at them similar to stereograms?

    Still far from finished, just an effort to learn the powerful tool called Xara. I'm really loving the responsiveness of the program, everything happens instantly.

    sunny days,

    Egg and Ron,

    I'm normally useless at viewing stereograms, but I've managed to handle Gary's stereo photos. I guess everyone is different, but here's the method I used:

    1. I placed my head about 18 inches from the monitor's screen.
    2. Without trying to focus on anything in particular, but looking more towards the space between the lower halves of the pictures, I simply crossed my eyes.
    3. I played about with the amount of crossing until I became aware of the table in the foreground. At first it was still two images, but now that I had the table as a "target" or goal that had singled itself out from all the other objects, I found that with a few extra crossing attempts that I could eventually control my eyes to the point where I could deliberately bring the two images together.
    4. Once the table was a "solid" object I found that I could move my gaze to the other objects without losing the stereo image.

    It took several goes and it feels very odd doing it this way. I had (and still have) that horrible feeling that I'm "going to get stuck that way" (yes, Mum). But in the end it I guess it's just a case of re-training one's eyeballs to move in a way (or to an extent) that they normally wouldn't; a bit like training a single eyebrow to arch, or writing with the other hand. It's slow and crude at first, but once you get positive feedback the skill quickly develops.

    I've viewed stereo photographs before, using those viewers that separate the images with a card and that have lenses, and the process doesn't feel so demanding or uncomfortable. But it's illuminating to see it done in the way that Gary has. Kind of opens up the potential for doing it with images drawn in Xara.

    Which, I guess, is what this forum, and this post in particular, is all about. Great images everyone. Such a rich diversity of styles to act as inspiration.

    The image is like those old stereopticon images.

    Pulling back is probably good. The smaller the image the eaiser it should be to get it to come together.

    Gary,

    I switched your pictures left to right, and now they work well for those of us who can cross our eyes.

    Here's my latest work using Xara Xtreme. I love the PDF export feature!

    (Istockphoto is giving me a copy to betatest Xtreme, so I'm polishing up on a demo copy until I get my legit copy via snail mail.)
