    My hobby is 3D photography. I make those silly red and blue shifted photos (called anaglyphs). If you look at these pix with special glasses (red lense over left eye, blue lense over right eye) there's depth in the pictures.

    Problem:
    When I import these red-and-blue shifted pictures in WAG, it changes I dunno what: hue, color and/or saturation?!? The 3D effect is destroyed.

    Any solutions for this problem? Is there any way to tell WAG not to change hue, color and saturation?

    Drop me a line if you need a anaglyph picture to test things out! (maartenkoning2002 (at) yahoo.com)

    WAG doesn't make adjustments to the image quality other than apply JPEG compression, so I'm not too sure what might be happening. Go ahead and send me a sample picture; I might be able to figure it out from there.

    Mailed you and original 3D picture and a screencapture of that picture imported in WAG.

    I got the email; thanks. It's definitely a strange issue.

    It looks like there's something different about the way the photo was encoded. Clearly WAG is misinterpreting something when opening that particular file; I can't tell if it's a bug in whatever program created and encoded the image, or if it's a bug in WAG's interpretation, but something's askew.

    I was able to fix the issue by opening the JPEG file in an image editor (I used Paint Shop Pro, but I think any image editor would work), and re-saving it. After re-saving it in an image editor, WAG opened the photo with the original colours intact.

    This is a strange issue, so I'll look into it more. Thanks for the report.

    Thanx for the workaround! If there's anything else I can do, please let me know.
