3D
Lenticular image effect that creates a three-dimensional illusion using multiple images (same as depth).
Alignment
The parallel positioning of a lenticular image to the lenticules (ribs) of the lens.
Animation
Lenticular image effect using multiple images to create the illusion of motion (same as motion).
Banding
Unwanted pattern caused by a resolution mismatch of the image, output device, or lenticular lens.
Depth
Lenticular image effect that creates a three-dimensional illusion using multiple images (same as 3D).
Flip
Lenticular image effect when switching from one image to another.
Frame
One of the multiple image files interlaced to create a lenticular image.

Lenticular Terms
Gauge
The thickness of a lenticular lens (same as thickness).
Ghosting
Unwanted visual artifact that does not completely turn off during an image transition.
Interlacing
The process of interweaving multiple frame (image) files into a single lenticular image.
Lens Count
The number of lenticules (ribs) counted per inch of a lenticular lens (same as LPI).
Lenticule
Single magnifying rib of a lenticular lens.
Lenticular Lens
Extruded clear plastic comprised of lenticules (ribs).
LPI
The number of lenticules (ribs) counted per inch of a lenticular lens (same as lens count).
Morph
Lenticular image effect that smoothly transitions from one image to another.
|
Motion
Lenticular image effect using multiple images to create the illusion of motion (same as animation).
Orientation
The reference to lens direction. Vertical lens orientation provides a side-to-side or walk-by motion. Horizontal lens orientation provided top-to-bottom motion and will provide the best motion and flip result. Note: A three-dimension effect requires a vertical lens.
Parrallax
The offsetting of visual planes to create the illusion of three-dimension.
Refresh
The jump a lenticular image makes while transitioning to the beginning frame image.
Thickness
The thickness of a lenticular lens (same as gauge).
View Distance
The distance the lenticular image will be viewed at. Hand-held and poster are the most common references.
Zoom
Lenticular image effect when enlarging a portion of an image.
