Supports MPO files, Side by Side, Top/Bottom and interleaved stereo pairs in JPG, JPS, PNG, TIFF and animated GIF files as source format. Left and Right sides can be in two different files. MPO files supported only in OS X 10.7 and newer.

Since version 2.5 you could view 3D-images also directly from the web pages (and play slideshow) and by dragging them from other applications. Text from Title or Alt html tags used in window title for the images opened from the web pages. If pressing Find images button quickly finds nothing, press it once more.

You can view stereo pairs in MPO containers produced by Fujifilm Real 3D W3, Nintendo 3DS, HTC smartphones with stereo cameras, Sony cameras with 3D functions and other.

If you have problems with some MPO files, send me a sample image, please.
