if this is the wrong place to ask, i'm sorry. I figured i would start
with PS.

Has anyone seen TV commercials or documentaries that show old
photographs that have a 3D effect?

almost like someone separated the foreground and the background to
different layers and "shadowed it."

anyone know how this was done? plug-in? technique? other application?

or how to make 3D from 2D pics without the glasses?

just curious.

You cant make 3d images from one image without without using some form
of glasses unless you make a sterogram! On tv more than likly it's a
modren 'real stereo image' (two or more images) then aged to make it
look like an old fashioned photograph.

Now 3d effect that's possible just using shading and shadows but do you
have an example (URL) of the type of image your aiming for.

Or an old stereogram. These used to be wildly popular.

Check out a program called OpticBOOM. You still need left and right
images though.

Are you talking about if you watch on the History channel, they do a
cool effect where it seems the foreground of the picture seems to be
moving and not the background or vice versa. Where they take a real
image (older photograph) and some how make it "come alive" in the way
the camera moves.

no url yet, i cant find it. im not even sure what to Google?

i thought it was the modern way of using two pictures, but then i saw a
documentary on the history channel and all the old pics of Hitler were
done that way. so, someone is converting it.

YES! that is where i saw it. that is what i am talking about!!

you think it is a plug-in of some sort?
or what Lorem talked about in the previous message with the lasso tool
and layer and shadow?

or is there something that will work it, kind of like realviz panorama.

You'd only see the effect with an animation, so Photoshop is not the
tool to use.

Can't seem to even imagine what effect we are talking about here but I'd be
interested to see one and have a go. If they are using pics of Hitler I
recon it's an effect rather than true 3d.

Let us know if you find one.

It's not a cut out is it? Where they cut say Hitler out of an image then
place him 3 inches in front of a different image of say the Eiffel tower
and move the camera, giving a kinda seudo 3d effect.

In motion picture work it was called a Traveling Matte. In Photoshop terms
it is a mask, or a new layer with transparency. In either case you still
have to isolate the element you want to move forward. No such plug-in that I
know of. A little exploration of the photoshop tools is in order.
