StereoMaker works like a wizard. The opening dialogue has size and stereŽogram type options. 640x480 should be good for most purposes - like printing or uploading on the Internet. Select the 'Textured' radio button to use a custom texture instead of random coloured or monochrome dots. Then click on next. Choose the depth map in the dialogue box here. There are a list of preset depth maps that comes bundled with StereoMaker, choose one of these or navŽigate to the folder where you stored your depth map, and choose that. Next, is the dialogue box for a pattern.

You can choose any other pattern you deem fit for your purposes. Next comes the dialogue box for setting Advanced Options. For printing purposes, increase the dpi from 72 to 300. For displaying on the Web, change the observation disŽtance from 36 cm to 30 cm. Lower the maximum depth to make a shallow or subtle autostereogram. Click on next, and a pop-up with your autostereogram appears. Right-elick on the image to save as a JPG or BMP file. Choose 20% comŽpression for print purposes and 60% compression for Web use.
