Currently, 3D images remain a beta feature, and thus, the process of creating 3D images on Facebook is in this experimental phase. Only a select few users with iPhone 7 or newer devices can currently create 3D images on Facebook. However, Mytour recently discovered a method for generating 3D images on Facebook without requiring an iPhone or any other smartphone. Let's explore what this method entails and how user-friendly it is.
Exploring the Trend of Creating 3D Images on Facebook
Guide to Creating 3D Photos on Facebook
Note:
- 3D photo creation is still in the experimental phase.
- Users must have basic Photoshop skills. Download Photoshop here if your device doesn't have it.
- Prepare your chosen image for creating a 3D photo on Facebook and give it a name in advance. Here, Mytour names it Mytour.jpg.
Step 1: Open Photoshop and drag the image you want to create a 3D photo with into Photoshop.
The result will be as follows; now let's start creating a 3D photo on Facebook.
Step 2: Here, select the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) to outline the area where you want to create a 3D photo.
Step 3: Suppose Mytour wants the entire cup to be a 3D image, so we'll outline the cup using the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L).
Step 4: Look down at the menu bar, here you press Background Color to select the background color.
Step 5: Here, you choose gray color or select color code #535353.
Step 6: Then press Ctrl + Backspace on the keyboard, you will get the following result. After filling the entire area with gray, press Ctrl + Shift I to invert.
Step 7: Continuously select Background Color once more, this time choosing all black with color code #000000.
Step 8: Fill the entire image with black, and you'll get the result shown below.
Step 9: The process of creating a 3D photo on Facebook is now complete; now, let's Save As it.
Step 10: Save it in the same folder as the original image; if the original image is Mytour, then this 3D image will be named Mytour_depth.
Step 11: Proceed to upload the photo on Facebook as usual using any web browser.
Step 12: Upload both photos at the same time and select Open.
Note: It is mandatory to upload both photos at the same time to create a 3D photo on Facebook.
Step 13: Wait a moment, and you'll see Facebook's system creating a 3D photo for you with the message Creating a 3D Photo.
Step 14: After creating the 3D photo on Facebook, you can move the mouse left, right, up, and down to see the 3D image.
Even someone like your friends who views it will see the 3D image accompanied by a status notification that a 3D photo has been added.
So, we've just completed the process of creating 3D photos on Facebook. Despite being experimental, it's truly amazing, isn't it? However, the 3D photo feature on Facebook is just an experiment and requires you to know how to use graphic software. Therefore, knowing Photoshop is a huge advantage, and through this article, you realize that using Photoshop is absolutely necessary, right? Mytour has many basic guides on using Photoshop for users to refer to.
However, first things first, you need to install Photoshop on your computer. After installing Photoshop, then let's explore and discover more about Photoshop with Mytour.
