Here is the 3D stereoscopic version of the original movie we displayed at Siggraph 2009 during the Panel Session “A journey from outer to inner space: scientific and biomedical stereoscopic visualization”. Enjoy the power of 3D discovering the hidden secrets of ancient egyptian mummies!
This 60-second image enhancement & retouch shows how just a few changes can make a big difference an image. Though Sagelight has the Skin Smoothing retouch feature, this was not needed here. I added a soft-focus and the enhanced the contrast with the Dodge and Burn Brush. The was smoothed by the soft glow, and then sharpness was added back in via the contrast I added with the soft glow. I went especially contrasty in this picture, as her black jacket and hair, combined with the pink stripe of her hair complemented by her lips of the same color; all this made me want to create a very stark image to highlight her beautiful face — and that look! For an example of more skin smoothing and retouching, see the “Sarah Palin Newsweek Cover” retouch/skin-smoothing 1-minute video I posted. See the annotations in the video

This video was originally presented in full-color stereoscopic 3d. This is a color anaglyph (red/blue) version for your convenience on youtube. For use with Red/Blue 3d glasses. Please note that anaglyph clips don’t transfer well to youtube. Be sure the HD button is selected on the player. hope this will give you a basic example of this classic short film from 1953.

th.omas giveth what flickr taketh away.
About 20 months ago, when Flickr rolled out their new “contacts” pages, they crippled a key part of the software that had been requested by many users — the ability to see who your non-reciprocating contacts were. At present Flickr will show you who calls you a contact. And they will show you who you call a contact. And they will show you who calls you a contact that you don’t back.
But they won’t let you see who *you* call a contact but who does *not* call you one back (or maybe who *used* to call you a contact but who has since dropped you when you weren’t looking).
Apparently the ability to view non-reciprocal contacts was built into the beta version of Flickr’s contact screens, but was removed when Flickr staff felt that it caused too much “drama.”
From Flickr Staffer Dunstan Orchard:
th.omas: “A missing feature I’d like to see is a list of all my contacts who do not call me one of their own…”
That was in the original build, but in beta testing threw up all kinds of “I CANNOT believe you don’t have me marked as a FRIEND!!” drama. It was quite amazing.
After a while we all agreed it was a feature that did more harm than good, so it got the chop.
(As a minimum we try to have new features on Flickr not cause actual crying and yelling. I think that’s an acceptable baseline to work from.)
Well if you want this data from your contacts screen there is now an easy way to get it. Just install th.omas’ alpha version of the Flickr Non-Reciprocal Contacts Finder greasemonkey script. You can get the script here.
The script didn’t work for me on Chrome when I tested it out. But it seemed to work flawlessly using Firefox. Basically it takes your current contacts screens and turns anyone who is not reciprocating red.
Why is this important you might ask? Well one reason why is that Flickr currently limits you to 3,000 non-reciprocating contacts. After this you can no longer add any more. So if you’ve reached that limit (or want to manage staying under it) it may be helpful to be able to easily review and identify who these people are that flickr is currently hiding from you to protect you from the “drama” and all.
Or you just may want to know which of your so called friends really love you and which ones secretly hate you or your photography. 
Anyways it’s nice to see a work around out that gets around Flickr’s limitation here. Beware though. They always could kill the ability for this script to work. So if you want to go through your contacts and identify which are non-reciprocal ones, you might want to do it sooner rather than later.
