Photoshop CS4 Extended and 3D Depth Lenticular

Photoshop CS4 Extended and 3D Depth Lenticular

Lenticular has been around for quite sometime, but due to the many advances in computer to plate technologies, new lenses, as well as interlacing software, it has come a long way from the old religious images sitting in some living room. Indeed, Lenticular technology started in 1940s but has evolved in recent years to show more motion and increased depth.


Now there are many Lenticular applications, from 3D computer monitors, Postcards, Mailers, DVD Covers to Posters, Magnets, Greeting Cards, Rulers, Luggage Tags and many more. This is possible due to the ability to print on PET 75, 100 and 161 lpi lenses (Polyethylene terephthalate), a lightweight polyester, with greater flexibility to transform it into everyday promotional items.


One such software participating in the advancement of Lenticular printing is the new Adobe’s Photoshop CS4 Extended. Adobe expert Dr. Russell Brown has posted a set of tutorials and sample files at his website at www.russellbrown.com that shows how Photoshop is able to create lenticular prints. Dr. Russell Brown is the senior creative director at Adobe, and stars in many Photoshop tutorials and videos. He raves about the feasibility of this new progress of Photoshop CS4, especially its upcoming Configurator utility. This exciting new feature on Photoshop CS4 is definitely a useful tool for aspiring Lenticular graphic designers.
