Abstract:
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.
