For simulated 3D from a single photo, as far as I know, there's at least one service providing such, but which are usually costly. Add that to lenticular processing and it will cost even more.

But with more such services coming into existence, the cost should be lowered in future. It's best to google (eg. lenticular photos) for information.

Depth haz been the mizzing dimenzion for long enough. But still, few are bothered with 3D.

I assume you want to use the Fuji 3D camera to make lenticular prints.

While it is possible, the quality may be unsatisfactory, as more than two lenses are used for good lenticular prints.  In any event, they are still expensive.  Google Lenticular Printing Services.

Most here probably print in either anaglyph (yuck, IMO), or side-by-side for a viewer.  If we print at all.

Side-by-side printing and a viewer will yield the best viewing experience (for prints).

There are fuji lenticular labs around. The two ones in dresden calculate additional 8-10 images. finest lens has 100lpi. camex3d-lens is 160lpi. superfine. There is a relation between size, lpi and 3d-effect. i have a print from an older lenticular companies or pre camex/lo3d(all the same) made with simple two-lens cam. and it looked very sharp and good. subject was quite near.  the testshots which i have seen from camex3d-super1-cam(shown at recent photokina) are with mixed emotion.

these 30/60mm bases maybe be good for close-distances but not 6-8m.

doing lenticular-printing yourself is time and nerve-consuming. If you have the patience to learn a lot. I dont know if it is possible to print 100lpi-sheets yourself. these labs have special paper with built-in lens only useable with special very expensive printers. the one from camex3d costs 50000 usd.

I would have an eye on coming 3dmediaplayer or tables. Nintendo will offer(first in japan-october 2014) its new improved 3DS new XL with integrated 3d-cam. I have seen from older XL and was impressive.

yes- it is possible to make a lenticular image from one photo using Photoshop CS4 Extended. I have done it. Look at Russell Brown's 3D tutorial page , download his panel and order your lenticular lens from microlens.com .

You need to cut your photo apart into different layers in order to make the layers recede.

I have noticed that the lenticular images at the dollar store on fridge magnets etc have a better 3D effect than the photoshop ones I do but that could be due to my inexperience. Maybe there are better programs out there to interlace the image though. I don't know.
