The surface appears to be very soft, including the rocks, and the Rover is climbing to get out of the crater. There would be a limit to how steep a slope it could climb considering the size of the wheels and the depth of the 'tread.'

I've enjoyed your stereo images.
I started out using an envelop to divide the image, one for each eye.
Now, after some practice, I can see the image without any aids.

All right...I have been crossing my eyes and doing things with my fingers and everything else I can think of and just am not getting the stereo-3D thing going.
Any suggestions?

"The surface appears to be very soft, including the rocks, and the Rover is climbing to get out of the crater. There would be a limit to how steep a slope it could climb considering the size of the wheels and the depth of the 'tread.'" Yup. I was thinking something like that myself.

Try moving back from your screen and then crossing your eyes until you have 3 frames instead of 2. Then tilt your head a little from side to side until the photos mesh.

Any suggestions? Keep practicing with the tip I've given in #19. Try first at the bottom of the stereo strip with the "floating rock".
It's taken me many attempts, but once the eyes "learn" the trick it becomes easier and easier.

Please supply a link to support your assertion of NASA's/JPL's "true color".

Interesting, but it makes for an uncomfortably skinny 3D strip. My mind keeps searching for additional images.

Not very good - too much disparity between frames when you get close to the camera, and not enough overlap with these two strips.
btw: what IS that shiny vertical dealie on the robot anyway?

"true color"? With all that blue around that spotface on the rock? Please: instruct me in my error, but I...don't think so.
