Introduction

This document describes CALLIPYGIAN 3D Photo Editing Software. (The software

comes with no warranties, expressed or implied.). This software facilitates the editing of

a stereo view pair so that anaglyphs and Holmes Stereo Cards of several different styles

and renderings can be produced

System Requirements

This software, developed using the latest .NET technologies from Microsoft, has

been developed and tested for Windows XP, with at least Service Pack 1 . While it

may run on other versions of Windows, it has not been tested in these environments, and

we are unable to support them.

If you’re dealing with large images, having more memory helps.

You’ll need an accurate color display (some early LCD displays may prove problematic),

RED/CYAN anaglyph “3D” glasses to view 3D images, and/or a Holmes stereo card

viewer to look at stereo cards.

Installation

If you have a previous version of Callipygian 3D installed, go to Add/Remove programs

(control panel) and uninstall it.

Download the .msi file from http://www.callpygian.com/3D/ . If you’re not running

Windows XP, you may need to go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and get the

“Microsoft Installer”

If you see a message saying that you need to install the .NET frameworks, then you’re

trying to install this software on a PC with an operating system other than the latest

Windows XP with Service Pack 1. If you wish to proceed at your own risk, you can get

the correct frameworks at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

Using Callipygian 3D to make Anaglyph Images

After installing the program, start it up by looking for “Callipygian3D” on your start

menu, or going to the directory where you installed it.

The main screen consists of two blue panels and a simple menu.

Figure 2 – Main Screen

The panel on the left represents the left image of the stereo pair, and the panel on the

right represents the right image. On the bottom you can choose the selection style. For

anaglyph images (red/cyan) leave it as “Arbitrary”

Step 1 – Load the images

Open a stereo pair using either the File->Open menu or by dragging and dropping the left

and right images onto the appropriate blue region for the image.

If you accidentally loaded the images reversed left-for-right, use the Edit->Swap Left

And Right menu to swap the images.

The images don’t have to be the same size, but they need to be the same resolution .

For example, if you scanned two slide halves from a Realist 35MM film, and have

cropped them to slightly different dimensions, it’s OK to load them in because they were

scanned at the same resolution. Callipygian 3D will scale the images inside a common

bounding box.

If you want, you can drag images onto the blue panels directly from Microsoft Internet

Explorer.

Figure 3 – Left and right images loaded in

Step 2 – Select your region of interest

Use your mouse on the LEFT image to select the boundary rectangle of your region of

interest. The RIGHT image will automatically get the same bounding rectangle.

Sometimes, depending on how the images were cropped after being scanned, the position

of the bounding box on the right hand side needs adjustment for a proper stereo window.

In this view, we’re only worried about course adjustment; you’ll be able to do fine

(per-pixel) adjustment later.

Move the mouse inside the bounding box on the RIGHT image, and click-drag to

reposition this rectangle to the appropriate position

necessarily in the correct place for our stereo window.
