If you have an iPhone, you can upload an image taken with Portrait mode and Facebook will convert it to a 3D photo. But what if you don’t have an iPhone or Portrait mode? What if you want to create a 3D photo out of an old photo or a composite image? In that case, you can turn any image into a Facebook 3D photo by creating depth maps in Photoshop.
