No, they are Chop. I've seen both of them before. Save the piccies then use something like the ink droplet thingy tool in Photoshop to get the colour...both the same!
Yes they are. I've seen that picture before, and I had to load it into a paint package to check myself. It's an amazing illusion, I'd have lost money betting that those colours were different.
It's probably the best optical illusion I've ever seen.
If you don't believe us (and maybe you shouldn't, you should question things you doubt, thats the sign of an intelligent mind), then load the picture into a paint package and compare the two colours (copy and paste one next to the other, or compare the RGB values, or whatever) and be astounded, like I was (or am).
I have never ever seen any image in a magic eye picture, no matter how long or hard I look.
I couldn't at first, I used to think it was maybe a con. But if you try hard enough, you can, and now I can see them almost straight away - the trick is to find two identical parts of the picture on a horizontal level, and then go cross eyed enough for the two identical parts to overlap, then you see part of the image. Focus on the image and relax your eyes, and you can then see the full image. Be careful that the paper which holds the image isn't covered by uneven light levels, as the image from both eyes has to be more or less identical or the brain won't see the illusion.
Good magic eye (stereogram) pictures are very convincing 3D-wise, and can be fairly detailed, relatively speaking. It's a shame that they seem to have died out, I'd have loved to have seen more of them.
The best technique, I find, is to place a finger on the tip of your nose, focus on your finger, with the image in the backgroung - then move your finger away towards the image.
Depends on the image. Some are designed to be looked at cross-eyed, but most you need to see by looking past the image with your eyes straight ahead. Usually the cross-eyed ones are for two photos side-by-side, whereas the random pattern ones are the straight-ahead technique.
For these, the best technique is to look at them behind glass, then look at something very distant reflected in the glass. Or get so close you can't focus and let your eyes relax and look straight ahead, then try to move away without automatically focusing on the image.
I never used to be able to see the magic-eye pictures... Until last year.
My solution was to go into a bit of a trance, to stare like a madman at the picture until the corners of your vision start to fade into nothing. Ooer. Yes, stare, stare..Empty your mind.
Stare... STARE
STARE... Stare.
Wait for it....
Very slowly, the picture pulls away and it gains dimension. Blink, and you've lost it!
The only thing is, that using this technique, the picture is embossed the wrong way round, and that all the background parts of the image pop up into the foreground and vice-versa.
Jeeps! My head hurts.
Actually, the first time I did it, I had a strange sense of hyper-reality, that the picture I was looking at, filled more space than my eyes were capable of seeing.
Honestly, no drugs or drink was involved, just masses of concentration.
I still remember the first magic eye type image I saw(in about 1992/3) - I'd given up on it but was still looking at it and bam - it just popped into 3-D. It was a surface like the inside of an egg box in psychedelic colours. My head felt funny for a while - totally trippin balls.
Anyway - last night I installed an app called "razzle" on Ubuntu Linux. I highly recommend it (to like the other person in the world who has both Linux and an interest in Stereograms :lol: ) It's an animated stereogram that just keeps rolling like a kaleidescope - it's nice and colourful :)

I like these ones that just mess with your eyes...
and
And in this one squares A and B are the same colour.
There's a whole webpage dedicated to these:

Well they don't look it

It should become 3d.
Or just go cross-eyed!

I don't think I'll do it again.

I've got so good at it that I notice them without trying, like all the secret ones hidden in wallpaper and carpets...
Do you see all this extra secret information whilst wearing a special pair of dark glasses?
no, just my tinfoil hat
