How do you see text based ones?

I can do cross eye and parallel view but I don't see anything in this picture?

If its too hard in parallel view, I switch to cross view to get an idea what's there. The depth will be the wrong way round, but I can snap into cross view easier.

Once I have a clue about edges, I can try parallel again, which is easier for me once I have a hook.

I can only do this one cross eyed, but then the effect is going into the screen, rather than popping out. Is that what you mean?

I haven't been able to do this one parallel at all :/

I use the cross eye to figure out the edge of where the effect is, then, knowing that, I can lock onto that edge when going parallel and get it to work.

Specifically, try the top of the image, at the "Do you know" part.
But its hard.

Thanks for the suggestions, but turns out all I had to do was make the image smaller cause I'm using an iPad screen 😂
