Lenticular product having a radial lenticular blending effect

摘要

A method of integrating a radial zoom effect with a complementary radial image transition effect includes integrating the effects such that the two blended radial effects share a common center, and thereby share common displacement paths during the perceived transition. In addition to the visual appeal of the effect, the invention also resolves operational incompatibilities between the practice of commercial photography and the practice of lenticular printing. A lenticular product is formed in accordance with this method.

主权项

1. A method of forming a lenticular product having a radial lenticular blending effect comprising the steps of:
selecting a first image and a second image; processing the first image and the second image to form a correlated first image and a correlated second image, respectively, wherein the correlated first image represents a source file for producing a zoom image; selecting a targeted zoom area within the correlated first image and forming an interlaced first image which comprises an interlaced zoom image having a zoom effect that is observed in the targeted zoom area; forming an interlaced alpha channel made up of an alpha file queue that is formed from an alpha file set, wherein the interlaced alpha channel is interlaced at a same spatial frequency as the zoom effect generated by the interlaced zoom image; using the interlaced alpha channel as a selection mask to integrate the interlaced zoom image and the second image which comprises a non-interlaced, static image to form a merged radial effect file; producing an interlaced print image layer based on the merged radial effect file; and producing the lenticular product by combining the interlaced print image layer with a lenticular lens.
