I’m not convinced that adjustments that were made to the images (there seem to be many) are scientifically warranted. I am not at all convinced that the data found in the Shroud’s image supports the anaglyph on the website. And that is a major concern because the impression one gets from the website and probably most places this image is displayed is that it is scientific. No! The anaglyph may not be very scientific, at all. I think this new 3D image is the most convincing scientific evidence yet for arguing that the shroud is authentic. I also had a poster of the anaglyph jpeg printed at Staples. I found some paper ones for $25.00 per hundred. Now all I have to do is buy 3D glasses for an upcoming talk at my church. I took the bigger image and inserted it into a PowerPoint presentation. But these are poor substitutions for looking at an anaglyph with 3D glasses. It also has a short video showing slow and slight rotation of the image. The shroud3d website does have stereoscopic images for those who have the proper viewing equipment. It is, of course, pointless to save this image unless you have red/cyan 3D glasses. Do save a copy of the image on your computer and buy some inexpensive 3D glasses. You can see a bigger image (800 by 921 rather than the web page size set to 484 by 545) just by using the following link. Note: I have replaced the pastor’s long link with a TinyURL. Do so right away before they reduce the size on the server. Fortunately it is done with HTML so you can grab the bigger sized jpeg and save it on your computer. Regrettably, the size of the image is reduced on the website. The red/cyan anaglyph of the face from the Shroud of Turin at the website is startling. (Have I changed my mind since my first posting about the site? Yes.) It doesn’t prove anything any more than the animated 3D movie, “Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus” proves that horses can fly. Personally, I feel that this is a work of art, an artist’s impression of what Jesus may have looked like, expressed in 3D. The pastor is referring to the red-cyan anaglyph image of the Shroud that you can see only with red and cyan 3D glasses. I think this new 3D image is the most convincing scientific evidence yet for arguing that the shroud is authentic.” The pastor of a large parish in New Orleans wrote to me by email:
