• Prior to beginning this tutorial, you should have created or obtained a stereo pair of images using these instructions.
• Download the free Anabuilder software here.
• Install the software on your computer.
• Launch the Anabuilder software. Your screen should look like this.
• On the Menu Bar choose File, Open Left.
• Locate the image you created for the left channel of your anaglyph.
• Click the Load button located beneath the image.
• Repeat these steps to open the right channel image.
• Your screen should look like this.
• Choose a focal point that is close to center in all three dimensions:–Vertical–Horizontal–Depth
• We are using the Robin Hood Lego Dude as our focal point.
• Use the Zoom tool (the plus sign on the menu bar) to zoom in on your focal point.
• Using your mouse or the arrow keys, move the blue tinted image until it aligns as closely as possible with the red tinted image.
• Your focal point will regain its full color.
• Other portions of your image will still have the red/blue halo effect.
• On the Menu Bar choose File; Save Crossed.
• This step saves your stereo pair as a single image that can be viewed in 3D by crossing your eyes.

• Now save your image as an anaglyph by choosing File; Save Anaglyph from the Menu bar.
• You can crop your image to remove extraneous background images in any photo editing software.
• Put on your anaglyph glasses and enjoy your creation!
