Tutorial 1 - Converting a photo to 3D
Start by loading up your favourite photo or image of your favourite artwork
The LR button loads an image into both left and right-eye views

Now select the 3D depth tool
The 3D depth tool allows you to paint with depth. The left image is never changed, only the right image.

Select your viewing mode

We recommend starting with the background first. Don't worry if foreground items become garbled, we'll fix them later.
Use the mouse-wheel to adjust the cursor depth.
Positive depth values 'stick out' from the monitor, negative values are deeper. You can see the depth in the context bar. You can also use the depth slider on the context bar, or use Q and A. For background Items you'll generally want the cursor depth to be negative, e.g. -15.
Now paint over the area. Adjust the depth for different background elements, e.g. the sky can be further away than buildings.
Now move on to foreground elements. If there is anything that should protrude from the screen then paint over it with a positive depth value, e.g. +10.

Depth perception is subjective and relative to the surroundings, there is no absolute depth. Each person will see depth slightly differently.

Now touch up the image. You can use the depth tool to carefully paint in missing or garbled areas, or switch to the clone tool for finer touchups.

When are are happy with the result you can export the image (also known as rendering).
Export / Render
The current view mode is exported. So if you want to render the current image in both Cross-Eye and Anaglyph, switch to each mode and click the render button. StereoPaint asks you for the format to save, and then for the filename.

Tutorial 2 - Painting in 3D

Using the Paintbrush, Airbrush, and colour box you can created stunning StereoScopic art, or add Stereoscopic details to existing images.
