In this weeks free Dekes Technique, youll see how to create a classic anaglyphic stereoscopic 3D image in Photoshop. Anaglyph images are created by superimposing two slightly different perspectives of the same scene, with each version seen by only one eye or the other, resulting in a sense of depth when your brain fuses the two images into one. In this case, Deke shows you how to create an image intended to be viewed through the old-school red and cyan glasses.
In order to achieve this classic effect, you have to first correctly shoot a pair of images with a slightly shifted perspective, like the ones shown below shot by lynda.coms own Jacob Cunningham. You can see in the top two images , slightly means slightly—as in the distance between your two eyes. Then the two images are placed on separate layers in the same file, and the color channels are turned off so that each of your eyes sees a slightly different image. Then

Part-time university students who are ordinarily resident in Wales will be entitled to the same fee support as those who study on a full-time basis, it has been announced.

MARQUETTE — An interim director for the United States Olympic Education Center at Northern Michigan University has been named.
Brian Gaudreau has been chosen to handle the duties associated with the position.
He succeeds Jeff Kleinschmidt, who previously announced his intent to retire after 25 years.
Gaudrea is a familiar presence on campus, and has been for nearly three decades. He most recently acted as Associate Director of Recreation Programming in the Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports Department.
NMU President Les Wong said Gaudreau’s extensive sports administration experience and fresh insights will be a valuable combination as the university plans for the future of the USOEC.
Gaudreau holds a bachelor’s degree in recreation management from NMU and is working on a master’s in training and development.
Originally hired as the intramural coordinator, he moved up to program manager before becoming an associate director and member of the athletic director’s management team.
Gaudreau will continue to be involved in NMU recreational sports while overseeing the USOEC.
His appointment is effective July 1.

All actions but one — innovation status for Swigert-McAuliffe International School — were unanimous. Swigert was approved 6-1.
The board also voted to place a previously approved Denver School of Science and Technology at the former Byers Middle School building in Washington Park.
One new school, Elements Academy, was rejected — also unanimously — based on DPS staff recommendations that the application was not adequate and that the leadership team was not qualified.
About five hours of public comment for Thursday’s votes was heard Monday.

The new schools approved Thursday night include six charter schools. Among t
