Abstract
The present invention is a method for forming a graphic image web including a precursor image web combined with a congruent lenticular lens to produce the illusion of three dimensionality in a visually perceptible image on the graphic image web. To produce this illusion of three dimensionality, an image field including an object is defined. The object is imagewise exposed onto a photographically sensitive element over a plurality of spatially disparate views through a lenticular lens having a prescribed optical geometry. Upon developing the latent image on said element, it is printed to form the precursor image web. The congruent lenticular lens is then combined with the precursor image web to create the graphic image web having graphic information imparted with the illusion of three dimensionality.
