Easy Photoshop 3D Effect in 30 Seconds | 3D Glasses Effect

Learn how to create a 1950's red and blue 3D effect in Photoshop! Once you know the steps, you can add this classic 3D effect to any image in less than 30 seconds!
► New Photoshop 2023 version here: • Retro 3D Movie Effect ...
Long before modern 3D movies, movie monsters in the 1950's were leaping out of the screen in terrifying red and blue. And in this tutorial, I show you how to create that same red and blue, retro 3D movie effect with Photoshop!
Of course, since Photoshop works with flat, two-dimensional images, we're a bit limited in what we can do. Be we can at least make something that looks like it's straight out of an old 3D movie. Any recent version of Photoshop will work.

Hello. Great tutorial. Will you actually be able to look at this in classic 3D glasses?

[@YumiFMB]

I'm using Photoshop CC, the latest version, and the options next to "channel" have completely disappeared, any other way to have the same effect ?

[@hasenfangmusic]

Question, would this work with retro 3D glasses? I am talking in means for depth, like in old 3D comics and such? Does depth perception on 3D work by how many pixels you move a picture in contrast to another in the background? For instance, let's say you have a layered shot of that man above with an added skyscraper in the background. Would I simply adjust the pixel expansion on one verses another to create a depth? Just curious how it all works, as I am pondering making a 3D cover for one of my albums. Probably have to research elsewhere too. Thanks.

Where can I buy those glasses in the thumbnail

[@AdamCouser]

my backround is Cyan when I click off the blending options, any idea why?

[@nyoung23]

your document is probably in CMYK and not RGB. Go to Image>mode and change to RGB then redo the steps.

[@xray_wizard4518]

@@nyoung23 my image is already in image but i still see my brackground CYAN

[@Phenomenon175]

It looks like that but once you move around the layers it should look like in the picture.

[@joshuaculp8964]

This is super old, but you probably have a white background layer underneath, i would guess, if anyone else ever tries this. If you turned that white layer off you would see just the red like you do here.

I did this but when I printed onto paper and tried to view with 3d glasses, the 3d effect didn't work so well. How can I print my 3d image onto paper so it can also be viewed with 3d glasses with the same 3d effect? Thanks

[@fadlya.rahman4113]

I suggest you desaturate the image. Anaglyph work better with grayscale photo.

[@humanz8681]

how do you do it with a text?

[@MaCaRhonee]

if you wear a 3d glasses.... will this work? X3 em planning to make a 3D board game for the school project..... i just hope it wouldnt be a fail

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

Technically, yes, this 3D effect will work with those old red and blue (cyan) 3D glasses. But for a true 3D effect where different parts of the image appear closer or farther away than others, you would need to separate those parts onto individual layers in Photoshop and then apply the 3D effect to each layer separately. So it can be done, but it will require layers, selections, and time.

Can you make one for mobile, i use kinemaster

[@user-bi8gf8fc7i]

But does this make the image 3D when looking through glasses?

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

To get a true 3D effect, you would need to place different elements in the image on their own layer and apply the effect to each layer, adjusting the amount according to how close or far away you want the element to appear. But it does work.

[@KyleSkin]

I don’t have mouse :((

[@strider8255]

uhm yea this is retro 3D it didnt say that in the title. how do I have a hormal shadow casting instead of this retro look?

[@ShimmySocol]

Anyone know if this effect actually works with 3d glasses?

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

Applying the effect to a flat image will only create the general look of the 3D effect. To make different elements in the image pop out more than others, you'll need to place them on separate layers and then adjust the effect accordingly for each layer. I hope that makes sense.

Red green and blue are not the primary colors lmaooo

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

Red, green and blue are the primary colors of light. Photoshop mixes red, green and blue to create all the colors you see in the image. Your computer monitor, phone, tablet, tv, and every other type of display also create all the colors you see on the screen by mixing red, green and blue.
