Hi Albert,
There are many techniques for making Stereograms digitally, most people tend to use Photoshop for this or Jasc's PSP is a cheaper alternative. As for two images on the screen at once I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, you could certainly open two in the same editing package and compare them side by side. Another way of doing it is just by using an image browser like ACDSee and flicking back and forth between the two images. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jamie

Thanks for your suggestions Jamie. I am new to this type of photography and am not very conversant with the editing s/w.
I have Photosuire platinum 4 and Photoplus 6. I will try and dig a bit deeper and see if I can find how to display 2 images side by side (this is to check the stereo pair using an A5 size hand mirror. I only want to print the ones I think are good enough.) I am still stuck about the reversed image though. Technically it should be dead simple since it will be similar to reversing a bitmap, but I can't program the computer so I will have to hope someone somewhere might have written such a program.
Anyway thanks again and if you get any ideas let me know.
Eddy

It certainly can be easy if you have the right package Eddy. There are a lot of other things you can do with them as well to subtly enhance the quality of your images akin to burning, dodging and cross processing. Digitial manipulation can be a rather fun pass time in itself. You will have to upload some of the shots you want to mirror so I can see what you're doing one day.
Cheers,
Jamie

Hi Jamie
I have used some of the enhancing features but I find some aspects of digital photography harder than with 35mm. I am using an entry level camera (Fugi finepix)and the drawbacks I find are heavy contrasts on bright days which I rarely got with film, also indoors you have to be dead careful where you point the thing. I have to do a lot of processing to get a balance on some photos. Maybe it was because I had more control over exposure and such or it might be because I am not used to automatic cameras.
One good thing though is that skies come out lovely, cloud scenes don't need a filter.
I am not very good compared with the people who show photos on this site. Some of them are marvelous and make me green with envy. Anyway it will take practise I suppose, at least you don't waste any film and you can take the scene again straight away if you have to.
If I take anything worthwhile I'll upload and maybe get some constructive criticism.
ATB (All The Best)

In PS7, Image --> Rotate --> Flip[ Horizontal. Same for PSE. even PhotoEditor (whisch is packaged with MS Office) has a miror command.
I hope this is what you want.
