TriDef Photo Transformer - Guides

Viewing Options

Once you have created your TriDef files you have a number of options for viewing them:

  • TriDef PowerPoint Plug-in
  • TriDef Photo Viewer
  • 3-D image
  • 2D Viewing

TriDef PowerPoint Plug-in

The TriDef PowerPoint Plug-in combines the flexibility of the TriDef Photo Viewer and the range of PowerPoint functionality. This Plug-in allows you to insert TriDef Photos and other 2D-compatible 3-D files into PowerPoint presentation backgrounds. The same Presentation can be used with different 3-D Displays, or with different 3-D Settings.

Even without the Plug-in these presentation files can still be used to view 3-D. See TriDef PowerPoint Save Options for the best way to do this.

TriDef Photo Viewer

The TriDef Photo Viewer displays all of the 2D-compatible 3-D file formats that Photo Transformer creates (TriDefPhoto, 2D-compatible 3-D JPEG/PNG/BMP) as well as TriDef 3-D Image files. You can create TriDef Slideshow files which are a sequence of Photos you can play in a continuous loop. The same files can be viewed on any supported 3-D Display, and the 3-D Settings can be adjusted to suit.

Both TriDef Photos and TriDef Slideshows can then be exported to PowerPoint.

TriDef 3-D Image (PNG/BMP) files

TriDef 3-D Image files can be viewed and adjusted through TriDef Photo Viewer and TriDef PowerPoint Plug-in, but can also be viewed with any image viewer software if you do not have TriDef viewing software.

3-D Image (PNG/BMP) files

3-D Image (PNG/BMP) files can be displayed on the 3-D Display they were created for using any image viewer software (including PowerPoint).This file is for use only with the specified 3-D Display; the 3-D Settings cannot be adjusted; and the image cannot be scaled after creation.

2-D Viewing

You can use any image viewer to view 2-D compatible 3-D JPEG/PNG/BMP files in 2-D.
