Re: Lenticular image frame rates

I simply use 'stereo photo maker' (FREE software on the web) make my lenticular interlaced images for printing. The software does a lot of things for you, corrects and adjust many factors, easy to use, works GREAT.

when you enter the micro-lens pitch (lenses/lines per inch) it will tell you how many images you can use. I think for 75 lines/per/inch it allows up to 4 images, using a 300 dpi printer. SPM does all the hard work.

When doing lenticular images, I find that too much disparity in a stereo pair do not make great lenticular prints. I had a close (almost in your face) horse 3D photo I shot, the problem was the distant background. I find that using toe-in works better for lenticular images.

Problem is (Fuji W1, W3 & Panasonic) 3D cameras seem to lack this feature. This is a case where LESS is MORE, (lens separation/stereo-base). My best lenticulars were shot with a pair of Canon cameras mounted on a bar running StereoDataMaker (sync) software. I mounted my cameras on the bar with toe-in adjusted.
