Petrified Forest and Painted Desert: Yes, you can digitize Tru Vue.

Since someone recently told me that it was "impossible" to properly digitize Tru Vue 3D photographic reels, I went ahead and digitized #809, "Petrified Forest and Painted Desert" - and they actually turned out pretty great! Here are all 14 images as stereo pairs & anaglyphs.

Need anaglyphic glasses?

There are numerous online sources for anaglyphic glasses so that you can easily view the full-screen anaglyphs of each image on this blog. However, if you just want a single pair of cheap ones, drop me a line and I’ll give you an address that you can send a self-addressed stamped envelope and $1 to – and you’ll get one shortly!
