And in this tutorial, I show you how easy it is to recreate that same red and blue (technically red and cyan) retro 3D movie effect with Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, since Photoshop works with flat 2D images, we're limited in what we can do. But we can at least make something that <em>looks<\/em> like it\u2019s from an old 3D movie. And as we\u2019ll see, this effect is so easy to create that once you know the steps, you can go from start to finish in 60 seconds or less.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of what the retro 3D effect will look like when we\u2019re done.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/retro-3d\/2023\/retro-3d-effect-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"The retro 3D movie effect created in Photoshop\" width=\"799\" height=\"536\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The retro 3D movie effect.<\/div>\n<p>Along with the classic red and cyan colors, I\u2019ll also show you how to create variations of the effect using other color combinations, like green and magenta.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/retro-3d\/2023\/photoshop-retro-3d-effect-green-magenta.jpg\" alt=\"A variation of the Photoshop retro 3D movie effect using green and magenta\" width=\"799\" height=\"536\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A variation of the 3D effect using different colors.<\/div>\n<h3>Which version of Photoshop do I need?<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m using Photoshop 2023 but any recent version will work.
