If you have ever wanted to create your own amazing 3D photo, but thought it would be too difficult, think again! Photoshop can make it easy to make your own fantastic photo images, like you would see on a professionally built website.
Instructions
1. Choose what or who will be the centerpiece, or pop, of your 3D photo. Take one photo dead on, not against a wall (or there will be no 3D effect no matter what you do). Then take a tiny step to one side and shoot another photo. Take a tiny step to the other side of center and snap one more shot.
2. For a digital, hook up your camera to your PC and transfer the pictures. For 35 mm camera, get your photo developed and scan them into your computer. Once the pictures on the computer open them up in Photoshop.
3. For both of the side shots you want them in grayscale. Choose one side shot at a time. Click from menu bar: Image, then Mode and finally Grayscale.
4. Choose from the menu bar: Image, then Mode and finally RGB. The picture will still look black and white and should look this way. Click from menu bar: Window and then Channels. Holding the shift key on your keyboard down click on blue and green only.
5. Click on right side photo. Using 'select' from menu bar, click on All. Go to Edit and click on Copy. Return to your RGB left side photo and paste the right side onto it.
6. Pick something small on the main subject of the 3D photo and zoom in on it. Move one side photo around using the 'move' tool on the toolbar until the object in both photos match up perfectly.
