How to choose lenticular lens?
Lenticular sheets with vertical lens orientation are used when making STEREO pictures. When you use vertically oriented lenticular lens ( with lens disposed along the longer side of a sheet and marked as “V”), you will get stereo pictures with “Portrait” orientation. When you use horizontally oriented lenticular lens (marked as “H” and having lens, disposed perpendicularly towards the long direction), you will get stereo images with “Album” orientation. Any lenticular lens will be suited when making FLIP images, but horizontally oriented lens (towards the horizon line) are used traditionally. When you use vertically oriented lenticular lens, you will get flip images with “Album” orientation, and when horizontally oriented – “Portrait”. Lens selection depends on what you are going to make with their help, because, different lenticular lens are meant for different works. Lenticular lens differ in three parameters: – a number of LPI – lens thickness – visual angle 1. Lens per inch (LPI).
