Max deviation： assign Right and Left horizontal parallax deviation. We can say Normal Parallax is 3.0%(30), for Looking Glass, we suggest you to set about 10 times (300) for Max deviation Entering greater Max Deviation, you gets depper depth, But, You may not get right image. Please run experiments by yourself to get best result. Number of Images：Looking Glass recommends 60 F/R Position：set screen depth（0〜255)「F/R Position」You can extract selected depth density from Depth map by clicking this button, Depth map: White>Front side Black>Back side : Check this only if your Depth map has been set white front.

Though you can assign them, image quality depends on the numbers of lenticular lens（ about 356 lines ) on screen Saving in larger size does not increase quality always. By setting width "0", SPM generate Quilt with lens numbers. By setting Height "0", SPM calculates width sise automatically based on original image Width/Height ratio. By skipping this option, we get cleaner direct LKG image, because it utilize all vertical pixels (reminder, it has compatibility isse when you play on another Looking Glass device ) LKG Parameter setting ： In default, you may not need to change settings if you has already calibrated. You can change if required
