High level functions which make stereoscopy easy !
AnaBuilder is a freeware program for the creation of stereoscopic
photographs (anaglyph, parallel, crossed, ...anaglyphs are viewed
through Red/Cyan glasses). The program makes it possible to readjust
the two views manually or fully automatically!

AnaBuilder offers an integration with the stereoscope
viewer. It enables views as cross-eyed, parallel, KMQ, mirror, or
shutter glasses (Elsa Revelator, H3D, D4D)....
AnaBuilder offers an integration with the panorama viewer PTViewer.
AnaBuilder offers a 2D->3D->Stereo conversion tool. AnaBuilder (old Windows version) also allows stereo-morphing to convert a 2D photo into a 3D photo, or to modify the depht of an existing 3D photo.
AnaBuilder makes it possible to touch up the photographs in 3d, or
to draw in 3d.
AnaBuilder offers a bracketing
merger : 2 methods (the second one is not yet explained, but is
much more intuitive and easy to use than the first one), a noise reduction tool, a local diff
corrector for brightness or white balance, and a corrector of color
histogram differences.
AnaBuilder offers a users image forum.
AnaBuilder offers a phantogram
builder.
AnaBuilder enables to generate slideshow that can be viewed with the stereo image browser StereoBee.
AnaBuilder uses the Look&Feels.
