These methods and devices process the first image to identify at least one outline of the visible feature and store the outline as a second image. These methods and devices also emboss the second image on a sheet of media as an embossed print. The embossing processes comprises printing marking material on the sheet of media in a pattern matching the outline using a predetermined quantity of marking material, which is a sufficient amount of marking material to create a topographical feature on the sheet of media detectible by a human touch.
