　Saving transparent images　　 David Heiser　　 2024年8月28日(水) 4：23 　　　Mail

Hello Masuji.

I have been using SPM for many years. I am well known in VRChat for creating 3D Stereo galleries. SPM has been an essential tool and I have taught others how to use it.

I create SBS images with a transparent alpha channel. Sometimes I use Stereophoto Maker to adjust the window in the image. But SPM doesn't seem to provide a way to save a .png file with a transparent alpha channel. And I have not found a reliable method of removing the background after saving the adjusted image.

Can this feature be added to SPM?

I create the images using a camera I built in a VR platform called Resonite. The camera makes 3D cutout images of avatars and objects. They are quite striking. Unfortunately, the images are too large to attach here.

Hi David Heiser,
could you, please, share link to your galery? I am a bit interested. :)
Thank you

　Problem with running StereoFotoMaker on Win11　　 Andreas　　 2024年8月3日(土) 16：00 　　　Mail

Hello Masuji Suto,
I am using your fabulous Stereo Foto Maker Software for more than 10 years. Thank You!
Now I have a new notebook computer with Windows 11 and the stphmkrpro_g.exe will not start because the program is not in the microsoft app store.
How do I start it anyway?
Best regards,

Andreas

I am also using Win11 and am able to run the application after installed using installer downloaded from this page.
Try use the same. Hope it will work for you too.

　SPM one monitor 3D image on 2nd monitor　　 Robert McAfee　　 2024年8月25日(日) 1：53 　　　Mail

With availability of Spatiallabs autostereoscopic monitors as well as older passive monitors and NVIDIA 3DVision systems, it would be helpful, if possible to implement, if the image could be displayed in 3D on one monitor and SPM on another monitor to allow editing of the image while it is displayed in 3D. Of course it is already possible to do this within the same SPM window with images displayed in parallel, cross view or anaglyph. NVIDIA 3DVision and the Spatiallabs both seem to require the image to be displayed in full screen preventing any editing

Check out this page explaining dual monitor support and see if it does what you need:

I wanted to do something using my GOOVIS Art head mounted display, but unfortunately the dual monitor support does not work on the Mac.

Autopano no longer exists in it's old format (as far as I can see). The company have upgraded it to AutopanoGiga, and this newer version doesn't seem to work with SPM.
Any ideas how we resolver this?
Thanks.

　batch processing problems　　 kyle　　 2024年7月11日(木) 5：57 　　　Mail

Hello. I have a series of stereo images which need to be batch processed to adjust the horizontal level. When I adjust a single image using (k) easy adjust, I simple slide the slider for value H to the needed value which in this case is -543. When I make the adjustment, the image looks great in my viewer. However I need to apply this adjustment over thousands of photos. When I try multi job, I cannot make this adjustment within the provided values.

　Multi depth process　　 Chris　　 2024年7月8日(月) 9：00 　　　Mail

Hello! Firstly, your software is awesome, thank you so much! Is there any way to batch perform the following process
:
Open left image with right image as depth map
Convert to stereo pair
Save stereo image

I managed to open multiple left right photos, but I believe I still need to go through one by one and convert and then export? The multi conversion option doesn't seem to have an option for the rigyt image to be a depth map - or at least when I've been trying it doesn't seem to run tbe export. It may be cos the file names need to be the same or have L and R or something?

Thanks again cos this software really is amazing!

　　　 Chris　　 2024年7月8日(月) 9：50 　　　Mail

Ah, so I dug into the help files a little and I can add "_l" and "_r" and it does now batch process files, however, unfortunately, it just adds the depth map and 2D image to a SBS photo. Is there a way to apply a process to all open pairs? Or to add the depth > stereo image conversion to the multi job please? I tried the DepthColorConv option and that just converted my depth image to a greyscale!

Thanks again!

Okay, sorry for spamming this! It wasn't possible to search this board but I went back through the pages and found the solution!

　Help viewing on an anamorphic SBS display...　　 Bill Costa　　 2024年6月27日(木) 2：53 　　　Mail

I have a GOOVIS G3 Max and GOOVIS Art head mounted displays for viewing 3D. The image quality in terms of the display and optics are excellent -- particularly for the G3 Max. But unfortunately when in 3D mode, they expect content to be in anamorphic SBS format. So when viewed on SPM, the images are stretched horizontally.

My question -- am I missing a way, while *viewing* in SPM, to squash the image back into a normal aspect ratio? I can still do editing and view my results in 3D, but the distortion of the image makes evaluating the results somewhat difficult.

　　　 Bill Costa　　 2024年7月5日(金) 1：59 　　　Mail

So thanks to David LeDoux, who contacted me directly via email, I have the solution to my question and it is of course easily done. Select "Side-by-Side" from the "Stereo" menu, and then "Half width SBS".

Another related tip -- sometimes I may do a strong crop on the width. In that case the centers of the image may end up so close to each other that you really have to strongly converge your eyes -- as if the image is at the tip of your nose. The solution is to use the menu setting:

View -> Image-distance when reduced image

This works as a toggle between 3 different image separations (use the "E" key as a shortcut). Simply find the setting that makes for the most comfortable viewing.

Two Questions:

1.) Will the Mac Version of StereoPhoto Maker (6.20) work on Sonoma (14.5)?

2.) Is there a later version than 6.20 of StereoPhoto Maker that I should download?

Thank you.

　　　 Bill Costa　　 2024年6月27日(木) 2：44 　　　Mail

There shouldn't be any reason that it shouldn't. Have you tried it? I'm currently using version 6.31 (using Wine) on Sonoma with no issues.
