3DLayers - Anaglyph

3DLayers - Anaglyph (3DLA) is a unique Photoshop extension that converts your layered Photoshop document to anaglyph 3D. Anaglyph images are 3D images viewed by wearing a pair of blue/red anaglyph glasses. 3DLA sorts your layers automatically from near to far, it spreads layers in 3D space.
