3D IMAGES 3D has penetrated most of our visual spaces, from movies and games, to TV sets and handheld devices. What once was thought to be a gimmicky novelty shown in state fairs and theme parks, 3D has now gained a whole new following of artists and creators experimenting to find new ways to implement it in their own work. If nothing else, it’s also just a fun effect to do! This tutorial will walk you through the process of making a 3D anaglyph image from a single image. It might not be quite a Hollywood-ready 3D effect but it’s still fun and might make for some interesting projects! This method works extremely well with black and white images. However, I find that it works pretty well with color images too. For this tutorial, my friend Mia has graciously allowed me to use one of her photos from our photo shoot a few of months ago. Duplicate your background image 2 times (one layer for each eye). Name one layer “Left-red” and the other layer “Right-cyan” to avoid confusion later in the tutorial. Once you’ve duplicated and named your layers, turn off the visibility on your background layer. We will manipulate each new layer so that the right and left eyes sees something a little different from one another. 3D anaglyphs work by exploiting our natural ability to perceive depth using binocular vision. Much like a camera, each of our eyes can only see in 2D. Our depth perception comes from the fact that each of our eyes sees a slightly different image from one another, from slightly different angles. When the images get processed in our brain — the slight difference in angles between the two images we get from our eyes — it gives us the perception of depth. This is the basic premise of this technique I’m sharing with you now.We start by isolating the color channels on each layer. Go to your Layers panel and double-click the “Left-red” layer.Most anaglyph 3D glasses come with red lenses for the left eye and blue or cyan lenses for the right eye. Since the red lens will only let in the red channel, we’ll turn off the green and blue channels for this layer. This can be done under the Advanced Blending dialog. Since our right eye will only be able to see the green and blue (cyan) channels

One of our most mysterious and intriguing states of consciousness is the dream. We lose consciousness when we enter the deep waters of sleep, only to regain it as we emerge into a series of uncanny private realities. These air pockets of inner experience have been difficult for psychologists to study scientifically and, as a result, researchers have mostly resorted to measuring brain activity as the sleeper lies passive. But interest has recently returned to a technique that allows real-time communication from within the dream world. The rabbit hole between these worlds of consciousness turns out to be the lucid dream, where people become aware that they are dreaming and can influence what happens within their self-generated world. Studies suggest that the majority of people have had a lucid dream at some point in their life but that the experience is not common. As a result, there is now a minor industry in technologies and training techniques that claim to increase your chance of having a lucid dream although a recent scientific review estimated that the effect of any particular strategy is moderate at best. Some people, however, can reliably induce lucid dreams and it’s these people who are allowing us to conduct experiments inside dreams. When trying to study an experience or behaviour, cognitive scientists usually combine subjective reports, what people describe about their experience, with behavioural experiments, to see what effect a particular state has on how people reason, act or remember. But both are difficult in dreamers, because they can’t tell you much until they wake up and active participation in experiments is difficult when you are separated from the world by a blanket of sleep-induced paralysis.
DREAM When your mind is wide awake.
