Adobe Photoshop Tutorial | Create 3D Movie Photo Effect in 2 Minutes in Adobe Photoshop | Adobe Photoshop Beginners Tutorial

First open any image into Adobe Photoshop and unlock the layer by double clicking on it.

Now create a duplicate of your layer, right-click on it and select duplicate layer.

Again duplicate the layer and change their names to Red, Green and Blue.

It’s a very good habit to change the layers color for our own ease. So we can differentiate between the layers. To accomplish this task right-click on layer and select the color.

Select blue layer and right-click on it, then select blending options. Deselect “R” & “G” and only select “B” Channel like given on the below example.

Repeat this process to other two layers.

Everything is set now. You just need to select red layer and move it little left or right and see the magic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3D movie photo effect?

It is called the anaglyph effect. Two copies of the same photo are shifted slightly apart with their color channels split, usually red and cyan, which creates the classic look of old 3D movies. You view the final image with red and cyan 3D glasses.

Which photos work best for this effect?

Photos with a clear main subject and good contrast give the strongest result. Portraits and images with a simple background work especially well, because the color shift is easier to see around the edges of the subject.

Is this tutorial suitable for beginners?

Yes. The effect uses only basic Photoshop skills such as duplicating layers and changing blending options, and it takes about five to ten minutes. If you know how to open an image and work with the Layers panel, you can follow along.

Does this technique work in newer versions of Photoshop?

Yes. The method relies on standard layer and channel controls that have been part of Photoshop for many years, so the same steps work in both older and current versions of the software.
