Hi Elaine, I am trying to save a generate a stereo image by following the instructions: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/ frameimages.html

I captured left eye and right eye images separately, pasted them side by side ~65 mm apart, and I see this do not appear as stereo. Any comments and instructions? I can send you the image if you want to take a look at it.

Thank you very much, Pradeep Pallan

Hi Pradeep, I think you are looking at old documentation. I don't think the current documentation says anything about saving separate images for left eye and right eye. This is the current page: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/ print.html#stereo Here is the blurb from that page, but it is probably better to go to the URL because there are helpful hyperlinks: Stereo. Wall-eye, cross-eye, and red-cyan stereo images can be saved by changing the graphics window to the corresponding camera mode with the Camera tool (or the command stereo) and using the "same as screen" Image camera mode in the Save Image dialog. Another way to save cross-eye stereo images is with the "stereo pair" Image camera mode; in that case, it does not matter what camera mode is being used in the graphics window, but the resulting image will be twice as wide as the specified size. Those approaches should work, assuming you also have a recent version of Chimera! (last production release Nov 2007 or newer) Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
