　SPM on M1 Mac (OS 12 Monterey)?　　 Chris Dainty　　 2021年11月26日(金) 18：29 　　　Mail

I have a Mac and currently run SPM Pro 6.02 under CrossOver (20.0.4). It's brilliant, thanks ever so much for this software!

But recently there was a posting on photo-3D.groups.io that said:

"I just recently discovered that starting with StereoPhoto Maker (SPM)
v6.17 there is now a standalone command line utility for automatically
aligning a L/R image pair. There is both a Windows and Mac version,
and JPEG, PNG, and TIFF file formats are supported."

Is this true? I cannot find anything on the website that says there is an M1 Mac version of SPM. I'm happy as I am, although reluctant to upgrade to a later version under CrossOver as it took a lot of effort and eventually CodeWeavers did it for me.

It's not the Mac version of SPM, it's a console app called StereoAutoAlign.

If you are using SPM with CrossOver, I don't think you need to dare to use it.

　View MPO files with NVIDIA graphics card　　 Steve Tom　　 2021年11月26日(金) 4：43 　　　Mail

I find StereoPhoto Maker to be an incredibly powerful and useful tool. I have been using it for years to combine digitized 35mm stereo slides into MPO files to view on my computer or TV, convert digital camera MPO files to side by side images to use with a viewer, etc. I wish I could also use it to view my stereo images. Since NVIDIA dropped support for its stereo viewer, my 3D graphics card, monitor, and active shutter glasses are useless. Can you add support to NVIDIA graphics cards to your program?

Is it nVidia 3D Vision?
nVidia no longer supports 3D Vision, but I have confirmed that it will work with SPM if you use the display drivers from when it was supported.

　See Depth Map manipulation in real time　　 Peter Sinclair　　 2021年11月6日(土) 17：07 　　　Mail

While working on correcting Depth Maps in SPM, I make a correction and then click Alt + D to see the result as a SBS pair. I then click Z to go back to original + depth map to continue working. Is there a way to see the SBS in real time so that I can work on the orig + Depth map and see the results at the same time as SBS pairs. I have 2 monitors, so ideally I'd have SBS on one and original + depth map on the other so when I make a depth map change I can see it in SBS (or anaglyph?) immediately instead of going back and forth as outlined above. Is this possible?

Press Ctrl+Shift+P(Menu->Edit->Depth Map->2D+Depth 3D Photo Preview)
You can see the 3D effect by dragging the mouse.
It's not exactly the same as Alt+D, but you can check the correction.

If you have any problem of installing DMAG5 and DMAG 9b.
You can download and extract my repacked version of DMAG5 and DMAG 9b.

　 AI depth estimation method　　 Sergiy　　 2021年5月22日(土) 1：52 　　　Mail

Create depth map from Single Image(Google AI) - is unvaluable feature of your application.
Any chance to implement depth estimation method other than "GoogleAI" (i.e. https://github.com/nianticlabs/monodepth2)?

　Switching viewing changes other images-3Dsteroid　　 Michael Przewrocki　　 2021年11月1日(月) 0：53 　　 HP　Mail

I know i had the same problem and corrupt file cause that only dont know anymore how i found the corrupt image-file.
have multiple older and newest files in 3dsteroid:
want to view all of them as cross.Newest image is shown up as parallel. i am setting it to cross. go back changing all others also which are wrong. when coming back i see cross-eye-images set back to parallel. any workaround to avoid. and: dont know how to cure how to find the corrupt file. forgot to mentioned how i found.

　Stereo photo maker pro erases file name　　 John Clement　　 2021年10月12日(火) 22：42 　　　Mail

If the file type is changed such as to TIF from jpg, SPM pro 64bit erases the file name. SPM 32 bit does not do this. The workaround is to exit the file save window and then do another file save. This then comes up with the file name and the desired file type.

　Feature request or advice　　 dimok135　　 2021年10月9日(土) 4：01 　　 HP　Mail

Hello! Stereomaker is my favorite app for stereo alignment. Currently I am shooting 3D video and I need an app to align it frame-by-frame. If I use stereomaker to align frames, each frame aligns a bit randomly, so the whole video twitches. Could you please add an interpolation setting for multi-conversion? For example, if you align each 25th frame and interpolating alignment values between them, the video looks smoothly. I've been writing my own application for that purpose for more than 2 month, but I still can't achieve such an excelent quality as stereomaker can. I tried opencv - rectification, rigid transform, ECC, homography. Nothing gives me a perfect result. I think, I need help. What algorythm do you use?
Thanks in advance. You can reply me by email.

　Show Grid control is wonky　　 Melinda Green　　 2021年7月8日(木) 13：12 　　 HP　Mail

I suggest you get rid of the "Show Grid" checkbox and make ctrl-g toggle both the grid window and the grid visibility. Right now I'm forced to toggle the check box manually each time I want to toggle it which seems silly.

In short, ctrl-g to show the window and the grid. Then ctrl-g closes the window and turns off the grid. Simple.

　　　 Masuji Suto　　 2021年7月10日(土) 21：15 　　 HP　Mail

I had never used the grid view before. But I understand what you are saying.
SPM Ver6.16 is now available. Please check it out.

　Great Software　　 Steve Crawford　　 2021年6月13日(日) 21：52 　　　Mail

This is great software. Is the source code accessible? I'd love to explore and possibly add a couple of features.
