CNET Editors' review
You can create 3D images without any special camera equipment with i3d Photo. Unfortunately, its design never let us find a comfort zone that made it feel it was worth all the effort it takes to use it.
The program's interface is a mixed bag. The excellent layout breaks a complex task down into a short series of user-friendly command buttons. However, the program's online tutorial is pretty vague, and we had to do a lot of learning for ourselves. The end product was supposed to look like a 3D movie when you aren't wearing 3D glasses: multicolored and slightly blurry. This requires you to create something called a "Stereo Image" in which a single photo is divided into two mirror images. The program layers the photos one on top of the other to create the three-dimensional image. However, the resulting image didn't look like the examples it provides. It was hardly blurred and didn't seem like it would appear to be three-dimensional in 3D glasses. We attempted to alter the image using the program's cropping and color-adjustment features, but we still didn't find it satisfactory. The program left us feeling unsuccessful and unsure on how to make a proper 3D photo.
This is a free program. It installs desktop icons without permission. While its layout looked promising, we were unable to successfully create a 3D picture. We do not recommend i3d Photo.

"Fast 3D Photos"
Version: i3D Photo 3.4
Pros
i3D 3.4 is easy to use. Auto aligns Left and Right photos for red/cyan or yellow/blue glasses, free-view, or animated GIF. Batch mode. Automatic, with nice manual tweaks available. Can also import anaglyphs, stereograms, or JPS files.
Cons
No lenticular support. No LRL output. No MPO support, No z-map (depth) support.
Summary
Ignore uninformed CNET review. If you have lots of stereo pairs, this is an excellent image browser and aligner. Very fast, very easy to use. For stereograph hobbyists, this is a good, fun-to-use package. Not for high-end use (see Cons), but perfect for casual 3D photos. Highly recommended.
