Don't know how to view MagicEye Autostereograms? Start here!
We were getting a high volume of posts asking how to see them recently, so it seemed like a good idea to just sticky a megathread on the topic. Please do not create new threads asking for viewing advice, thank you.
Step 1: Here is a quick tutorial on how to view AutoStereograms
Step 2: Vox 10 minute exposé: "The secrets of Magic Eye"
(EDIT: Somebody condensed the "how to" portion of this video into a blog post called "The Science Behind The Magic Eye Craze of The 1990s")
This gives both a history, and a more in-depth animated lesson about how to view them.
Step 3: The Vox video tells you how you can use the Difference blending mode in Adobe Photoshop (GIMP also works) to sweep across the hidden image without crossing your eyes. Dave 'XD' Stevens made this web application that can do the same thing easily in your browser.
Other good beginner "not hidden" stereograms for new users to cut their teeth on:

Sing a song of six pence
I’ve had this nursery rhyme song float into my head and made this today. This is the first verse:
Sing a song of six pence
Pockets full of rye,
Four and twenty black birds
Baked into a pie,
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing,
Wasn’t that a dainty dish
to lay before the king?

Bubbly banquet (made today oc)
Thanks for all the feedback and positive support! I think I understand a little more and this one isn’t perfect but I think I improved on depth and focus.
If you need a horizon to start with try staring off just under the green palm leaf (through the middle or middle-left window). It’s a small spot but there is horizon through that window.

Vines and blue cats (two more … oc)
These are made on Ibis paint app by me. OC (except some ferns in the blue cat one were a paint brush stamp or texture idk).
They are kinda of a mess but pls let me know if it’s bad because of the depths or the colors or its too hard to focus… I don’t know what direction to focus on.
Thanks in advance for any advice or specific feedback, I appreciate you reading this, too!
