You mean like you have a pair of the polarized glasses (from the movies) and want to make a picture in photoshop that you can view on your computer that is 3d through them? If so, that's not really how it works.. This type of 3D is different from the old anaglyph type in that you are actually getting a different picture viewed by each eye. To make a picture, the closest you could do would be to make a GIF or something (of say a big dot) that is offset differently (left and right) in 2 frames and then just loop that at 60hz. On a normal monitor there would be no 3D (just a jittery image), but with the filter that these projectors are using, it polarizes alternating frames, the first frame one way, the second the other, and then repeats, so that each eye (through the corresponding polarized glasses) only sees one of the images. Doing that really fast you get a 3D picture, as each eye sees a different image, showing the same thing from 2 different engles (as your eyes would see it in real life). I hope that is sorta clear..
