Put on your old red and blue 3D glasses and recreate the look of classic 3D movies from the 1950's with this quick and easy Photoshop effect. A step-by-step tutorial, now updated for Photoshop 2023.

Long before modern 3D movies like "Avatar" and its sequel "The Way of Water", movie monsters in the 1950’s were leaping out from the screen in terrifying red and blue. And in this tutorial, I show you how easy it is to recreate that same red and blue (technically red and cyan) retro 3D movie effect with Photoshop.

Of course, since Photoshop works with flat 2D images, we're limited in what we can do. But we can at least make something that looks like it’s from an old 3D movie. And as we’ll see, this effect is so easy to create that once you know the steps, you can go from start to finish in 60 seconds or less.
