What is a Lenticular
Image?
-
Lenticular imaging was invented by Nobel laureate
Gabriel Lippman in 1908. Although the process has been
heavily utilized in advertising and marketing for a number
of years, it has traditionally been an expensive and
complicated venture. Recent advances in technology have made
it possible for high quality lenticular images to be created
utilizing inexpensive ink-jet photo printers and software
applications that can be run on personal computers.
Technical Details
-
Lenticular images are created from two
components; a printed image and a lenticular lens through
which the image is viewed. The first step is to prepare two
or more images and then use a program to interlace them.
There are a number of programs available but most are quite
highly priced and often require additional software such as
Adobe Photoshop to complete the image creation process.
The interlacing software takes the selected images and cuts
them into very narrow strips. It then interlaces these
strips like a perfectly shuffled deck of cards. If two image
flips are being created, the first band is a strip from
image one, the second from image two, the third from image
one, and so on. The software then saves the interlaced image
in a file ready for printing.
After the interlaced image has been created, it needs to be
printed. In most professional quality lenticular printing,
the image is actually printed on the back of the lenticular
lens. This process is costly and must be performed precisely
or the lenticular image will be blurry or exhibit a
significant amount of ghosting. Another alternative is to
print the image on paper and then mount it behind the lens
for viewing. A number of problems ranging from printer
variations to issues with how to mount the image to the back
of the lens can make this low-cost alternative extremely
challenging.
