Purpose of the program System requirements How to use the program: Lenticular sheet type Image type Loading images Output image settings (image size, resolution, alignment marks, type, arrangement) Output image settings (interpolation and canvas rotation) Print image Animated GIF creation 3D Flip Barrier-screen Pitch Test Two-flip image (settings) 3D image (settings) Printing in Photoshop Resulting file size limitation Troubleshooting | ## Pitch Test Launch PitchTest.exe to determine the frequency of lenticular sheet: Starting Lenses per Inch, lpi - starting value of lenticular sheet frequency, this is frequency of top strip; Step of Lenses per Inch, lpi - step of frequency increase for next strip; Width of Strips, cm Hight of Strips, cm Number of Strips, cm Print Resolution, ppi You can choose any value of this parameters. The dialog with default values create ten strips with frenquency 60 lpi, 60.1 lpi, 60.2 lpi, …, 60.9 lpi. Choose the necessary print resolution. Set values for Starting Lenses per Inch and Step of Lenses per Inch. The width of the pitch test SHOULD NOT be less than the width of your picture. Change the print settings to use a maximal resolution and a best quality. Print a pitch test. Then dry your print. Put the printed pitch test sheet under the lenticular screen. You can see the similar picture: The frequency of the strip which is the most continuous is close to the lenticular sheet frequency. Close one eye and turn the head to the left, and then to the right. Look at the moire moving. Among the strips there are two strips where moire runs TOWARDS each other: the top moire moves from left to right, the bottom one moves from right to left (or otherwise). These two strips are close up to the necessary strip. At the beginning set the Step of Lenses per Inch is equal to 0.1 lpi. You determine the lenticular frequency within 0.1 lpi. Next step you set the Step of Lenses per Inch is equal to 0.01 lpi and determine the lenticular frequency within 0.01 lpi. If you make a visiting or a post card, you need to determine the lenticular frequency within 0.1 lpi. ATTENTION! Pitch test for 3D algorithm with Parallax correction differs from usual pith testing. For usual cases you look at pitch test from viewing distance, for parallax correction you look at pitch test from very far distance, 2 or 3 meters.
