Stereogram Lab Filter v1.0
for Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, and PaintShop Pro (Windows).
Stereogram Lab Filter is a stereogram maker plug-in, which allows to generate Hidden Image Stereograms right in your Photoshop, which is quite convenient. This filter is
free and you can use it both for commercial and non-commercial purposes, however, distributing the filter itself is not allowed.
Stereogram filter is developed in Filter Meister Plug-in creator.
Installation:
1. Download zip file (the link is above)
2. Unzip to Photoshop Plug-in folder, for example C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 6.0\Plug-Ins
3. Start Photoshop. You should see Stereogram Lab submenu in Photoshop`s Filter menu
Using Stereogram Lab Filter:
1. Open Texture map in Photoshop or select it if it's opened already.
2. Click Menu -> Filter -> Stereogram Lab -> Set Texture. Then Click [OK] button in the dialog window:
3. Open Depth map or select it if it's opened already.
4. Click Menu -> Filter -> Stereogram Lab -> Hidden Image Stereogram. A dialog window with stereogram settings and preview will open:
5. Adjust Rendering settings as desired, live preview will show how the stereogram will look. Repeats - number of texture tiles for background (black color in depthmap) Depth % - Level of third dimension in 1-100% Oversampling - antialias/smoothing quality level. Start % - Horizontal Position where rendering starts. 0-left side, 100%-right side, 50% - middle
6. Click [OK] button when preview looks good and Hidden Image Stereogram will be rendered over your Depthmap.
If setting the texture results in file error make sure the Windows user has writing priviliges for the Photoshop plug-in folder. Another options is to run Photoshop as Administrator.
Recommended alternative software
Stereogram Lab Filter hasn't been updated for a long time and might not work with latest versions of Windows and PhotoShop.
There is alternative software available: Stereographic Suite which includes Stereogram Generator, Texture Maker and Modeler.

I am using photoshop cs3 and when I select a texture and then use my depth map it doesn\ t tile the texture it only repeats it across thetop. Is there something else I should be doing?

how do you create the actual depth map? The image that is hidden within the pattern created by the filter?
by Chris on 2008-11-21 09:59:09
13.
Chris I use 3D modeling tools to create a scene and then render depthmap using render settings.

This filter works great TY. For those who want the result more clear: lower the depth and play with the other settings. Inversing the entire image helps sometimes too ( Ctrl+i ) in photoshop.

Those who have the issue writing to Photoshop folder do you have Vista? What happens id the plugin needs to write a file (a set pattern) into Photoshop s folder but for some reason Windows denies access for this.
by 3Dimka on 2009-10-12 19:47:11
35.
I think it doesn´ t work in CS4!!
by LeJe on 2009-10-17 08:45:19
36.
This plugin works fine in CS4 within Vista but you have to use the 32-bit photoshop for it to work. 32 bit plugins DON T WORK in 64-bit photoshop! Also in Vista right click photoshop icon and select run as admin or turn off the UAC.

Open texture map. Nothing in Adobe help says how. br Open depth map. Nothing in Adobe help says how. br I do believe this works but the instructions are terrible. This seems to be a theme with S/W developers. It is as though they don t really want to share what they have got with idiots.
