You can obtain a stereo pair for direct view performing the following:

  1. Create a new project or open an existing one;
  2. Add two stereo-pairs frames to the project;
  3. Specify, which of the frames is the Left frame of a stereo pair and which one is the Right frame and set a zero parallax point;
  4. Crop images the way you like;
  5. Switch to the Direct View tab of the Navigator window. This will create an image for the parallel view. To change the type of the generated image (parallel or cross-eyed), select the corresponding item in the View Mode group;
  6. You can save the finished image to a file. A cross-eyed image can be saved in the .jps format which is commonly used to save stereo pairs (.jps is  the same as the .jpeg format, the letter “s” indicates that the saved stereo pair is intended for the cross-eyed view). The project can be saved as an .mtp file. All the changed settings will be saved in the project.
