Do I need 3D glasses to see the effect?

Yes for stereoscopic depth: use standard glasses with red over the left eye and cyan over the right. Without glasses, the result remains a deliberate red-cyan graphic treatment rather than a normal-color photo.

Is the result the same as a real two-camera stereo photograph?

No. One photograph contains no view of surfaces hidden behind foreground objects. Estimating depth and shifting the picture sideways within strict limits creates a convincing stereo pair, but the edges where one object hides another, glass, reflections, hair, and foliage can remain imperfect. The 1% near and 2% far limits keep the 3D depth from becoming excessive; viewing comfort still depends on display size, distance, glasses, and the viewer, so lower the intensity or stop viewing if it feels uncomfortable.

About the Depth Anaglyph 3D effect

Depth Anaglyph 3D estimates which parts of your photo are nearer or farther, builds slightly shifted left-eye and right-eye views from that depth, and combines them into one red-cyan image tuned to reduce ghosting through standard 3D glasses. The intensity control changes the real 3D separation instead of fading a ghosted copy over the image. At full strength, nearer surfaces shift by at most 1% and farther surfaces by at most 2% of the image width, and a narrow strip along the frame edges stays flat so nothing is doubled or clipped at the border. Framing and transparency stay the same, and the result is a lossless PNG.

How it works

Processing

Depth Anaglyph 3D uses an AI action. Any separate allowance is shown before this effect starts processing.

Best for

layered interiors, still lifes, architecture, landscapes, science or museum content, album artwork, and images intended for standard red-cyan 3D glasses.

Less suited to: flat scenes, transparent or reflective surfaces, hair and foliage against similar backgrounds, objects cut by the frame edge, and any use that must look normal without glasses because colored fringes are intentional.
