Too easy! I can see stereograms pretty much at will now, and two s/grams side-by-side is no problem either. Transferring the "Thousand Yard Stare" to a book, I can visualize the spine between facing pages as what someone described as a folded over bookmark. So is that the "blip”?

I don't seem to have any problem maintaining a steady blip as I turn pages. I have to wear glasses for reading (just age related) but even with glasses I cannot actually read any words and maintain the blip at the same time. Peripherally, I can see that a word or more is say highlighted, even italized, but I can't tell what the word is without shifting focus and losing the blip.

Once I have what I deem to be a good blip, I can then (very often anyway) slide a stereogram across the pages into my view and it is instantly visible, only proving I suppose that I am using approximately the same focus in each case (book and s/gram). I hope this is the aim?

One thing though, I can consciously adjust the width of the blip, even to the extent where it overlaps the nearest text margin. I assume this is undesirable, and that I should be aiming at the "stereogram focus" mentioned above?

Thanks for taking the trouble. I appreciate the tips and now have more confidence that I might be able to at least get started with this PR stuff.

Train your eyes to take in more by learning to diverge even more. A book will be child's play after that.
