Increasingly, stereo photographers are
using digital output media to produce their stereo views. Oftentimes, this
new way of doing things has been used with traditional production methods.
Digital prints most often are four by six inches. This
is sufficient to produce views that function well with the Holmes stereoscope.
If done properly one only has to trim off the top of the digital
print and glue it to a standard card. But gluing the view to a card is an
extra step and is unnecessary. An adapter can be made so a standard four by six inch print
can be used as soon as you get it back from the photofinisher. This saves both time and effort, making the
process of producing stereoviews less of a chore. These specifications have been devised so that
equipment manufacturers can design equipment that will accommodate a new standard.
