Portable Z-Anaglyph

This is the portable edition of Z-Anaglyph, a lightweight tool that you can use to generate composite images with red and blue channels for viewing them in 3D mode. It packs some limited options that can be approached even by less experienced users. The tool supports the JPG format.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can just extract the program files to any location on the hard drive and run the EXE item directly.

Alternatively, Z-Anaglyph can be moved to a USB flash drive or similar external unit, from where you can run it on any computer with minimum effort.

An important factor is that the tool does not work with the Windows Registry or leave files behind on the hard drive after program removal.

The UI of the app is based on a standard window with a plain layout, where you can load the right and left image files into the workspace using only the file browser, since the "drag and drop" method is not supported.

You can either select the color or grayscale profile, and generate red-green or red-blue channels. The results can be viewed in a secondary window. You can zoom into the pictures.

A few options can be configured from the Options panel. You can choose the JPEG quality and TIFF DPI, as well as switch to a different language for the GUI. There are no other options or customizable settings available through this app.

We have noticed a minimal CPU and system memory consumption during Z-Anaglyph's runtime, hence the app does not burden the computer's activity. It has a good response time and works fine, without making the OS hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. On the downside, Z-Anaglyph has not been updated for a very long time.
