Here is how to make a JPS file for use with the Stereoscopic 3D Viewer.
1: Take a picture with a camera.
2: Move over to the right a little (a few inches to a foot depending on distance to object being photographed).
3: You should also turn the camera to the left slightly (I try to line up the same objects that are near the edge of the picture).
4: It's important to keep the camera as level as possible on both pictures otherwise you will need to do rotation editing later.
5: Using a photo editor like Photoshop Elements, open a New Blank File that is twice as wide as the resolution of your monitor and the same height.
6: Open both the left and right images into Photoshop Elements.
7: Select your Rectangular Marquee Tool.
8: Set that tool's mode to Fixed Aspect Ratio.
9: Set Aspect Ratio Width to half your monitor's width resolution (may have to divide by 4 if monitor resolution is greater than 2,000 pixels wide).
10: Set Aspect Ratio Height to half your monitor's height resolution (if you divided width by 4 then do the same with height).
11: Turn the View Grid option on to check alignment and rotation of the two images. Objects should be at the same level (height). Look at the tall objects in the scene for rotation comparison (should have same angle).
12: Use Image>Rotate>Custom if you need to adjust rotation of one of the images.
13: With Rectangular Marquee Tool selected, draw a box on the left image. I usually go from the left edge to the right edge of the image. You will have to go smaller if you made a rotation correction.
14: Now draw a box on the right image with the same width as the left image. (you may have to eyeball it if the width is less than width of the image but the grid could help you judge).
15: You can now adjust the vertical position of the right box by dragging it up and down so that the objects in the two scenes are the the same level (height).
16: Crop both the left and right images. Image>Crop. It will erase everything outside the rectangular selection.
17: Resize both the left and right images to match the resolution of your monitor. (Using pixels as your units) Image>Resize>Image Size
18: Drag the left image to the right hand side of the blank picture. Alternately you can copy and paste instead.
19: Drag the right image to the left hand side of the blank picture. Line both images up so that they fit neatly side by side.
20: Save the side by side picture as a high quality JPEG file. In Photoshop Elements 7, it allows you to change the extension of the file name by erasing the g in jpg and replacing it with an s.
21: Rename the extension to JPS in windows explorer if you were unable to do it in Photoshop. (You may have to change your folder options before are able to view file extensions in Windows Explorer).
22: You can now view your picture in the Stereoscopic 3D Viewer.

Thanks, I suppose I should have subtitled that thread better than "tips for better 3d operation". I really wanted it to be a little more generic than that. I think it could be a great thread if more people posted to it. I'm sure people have lots of tips I never thought of.
Do you have any 3d pics you want to post here? Maybe I'll try making a 3d pic of my venus flytraps after they bloom. That could turn out alright in 3d.

This is an advanced guide for making stereoscopic 3D CG graphics. It was written for a special S-3D contest, but we will make the text more generic so it works equally well for everyone:
