How Do I Make an Image Lenticular in Photoshop?

Last updated on November 22, 2022 @ 3:08 am

Lenticular printing is a technology in which images are printed on a sheet of plastic that contains a series of small lenses. When the image is viewed from different angles, the lenses produce the illusion of depth, motion, or changing images.

Lenticular printing is often used for advertising and promotional materials, as well as novelties and toys.

If you want to create your own lenticular image in Photoshop, there are a few things you’ll need:

  • A source image
  • A lenticular template
  • Adobe Photoshop

Step 1: Choose your source image. This should be a high-resolution image (at least 300 DPI) that will be sliced into a number of smaller images. Each small image will be printed on one frame of the lenticular template.

Step 2: Open your source image and the lenticular template in Adobe Photoshop. Use the “Crop Tool” to slice your source image into the number of smaller images that will correspond to the number of frames on the template.

Step 3: Place each small image into its own frame on the template. Make sure that each image is properly aligned with the previous one, so that they will appear seamless when viewed together.

Step 4: Export your file as a high-resolution PDF. This will be sent to the printer who will create your lenticular image.

Creating a lenticular image in Photoshop is simple with these easy steps.
