Yes Rik, I mount the near points to the stereo window into the options. This makes the difference here. No courrante viewers will have a harder time with your used option. Their eyes need more time to adapt to the stereo image. As a result, they can not so long watch 3D images without headache.
I personally do not bother, even cross-view images I see immediately.
For this scene I specifically adjusted the shift so as to put zero disparity at the center of the image, so the scene is half in back and half in front of the screen. The reason was to balance framing discrepancies at the top and bottom of the frame. When the entire image is behind the screen, there are no window violations but there is a large disparity and thus a large framing discrepancy in the background, at top of frame. I did not like to lose so much interesting 3D structure in that area, and I decided that accepting some window violation was a better tradeoff. I have just now repeated the exercise and find that I make the same choice.
For many viewers this will be a problem. This remains a disputes between 3D viewers. And the viewing method also make a difference.
It could be that I am less sensitive to window violation than other people are. If so, this presents an interesting conflict since making the image better for other people would mean making it worse for me. I guess I could prepare and post it both ways so that people could choose whichever works best for them, but this takes extra effort. Tradeoffs, tradeoffs...
Problem here are the limited possibilities. You are practically limited to cross-view or parallel-view for forum or internet. .mpo files are supported nowhere.
Do you sometimes have a link to larger images, preferably separately left and right.
Thanks Rik for the links. I have made a 100% crop for the HD monitor as .mpo file with the option " mount near points to the stereo window". For me, the stereo image is much quieter. Now I see that you selected shift of 4cm is well chosen. It is a beautiful picture on my Asus 3D active monitor.
Many thanks Rik!
