How to Make an Anaglyph (3D Image)
If you do not own a 3D camera and still want to create 3D images, then you have reached the right place, as this article will talk about the basics of creating 3D images using a digital camera, and Adobe Photoshop.
In 3D camera, you just have to take a picture using the 3D mode, and it automatically turns the picture in 3D. The same does not happen if you have a digital camera. The process becomes a bit lengthy, yet, you can still impress your friends by converting normal pictures in 3D.

First of all, you need to select a scene which you want to capture and edit to turn it into 3D. Take your digital camera and take a picture. You can then slightly slide the camera to your right to take the second picture of the same scene. The difference in the pictures should not be more than the distance between you both eyes.
