Step 4 - Take the pictures
Make sure your camera is in focus. To make excellent 3D images, you need high quality original
captures. Make sure your camera is set to the highest quality setting. For the Casio Exilim™ the quality
setting is “fine”. This part will take practice. Make sure your subject is not to dominant (it should not
take more than70% of the frame)and that you have plenty of background in the frame. The subject is in
focus and use a high f-stop to make sure that all of the elements in the shot are in focus. Set your
camera dial to the “1-40” frame burst. If you are photographing a person, then make sure the person
remains as still as possible. Press the shutter and hold down while moving the camera side to side to
your predetermined distance. I selected 12 inches. The farther you are away from the subject, the less
you will need to move the camera. The camera will save the images as jpeg files. You have compiled 40
pictures in one second capturing multiple views of the coffee can or subject. Remember not to tilt the
camera forward or back during the burst. Keep it in the plane of the tracking as you sweep your photo.
You can play back your sequence on the Exilim™ and reshoot it again if not satisfied. The subject should
be in the center 2/3 of the viewing area at all times. (Basically, do not let your subject disappear off the
camera while you sweep!)
Step 5. Download your images to your computer
Follow the instructions in the camera manual to download the images. Make sure you have loaded the
camera’s basic software. By plugging in the USB connection and turning your camera on, the computer
will recognize this camera and treat it as a hard drive to transfer the jpeg images. Put the images in a
single folder and label the folder.
Step 6. Open Adobe Photoshop™ and select your images
Now open all the images at once in Adobe Photoshop™. You may what to learn the basics of Photoshop
prior to creating the 3D image. I picked 9 of my images to work with. Why 9? You want to match the
printer resolution with the lens that you use. The simple formula for this is Printer Resolution divided by
the Lens equals the number of pixels that are under each lens. (360/40=9) Most Epson printers output
images at 1440 DPI and this number is a multiple of 360. This means my image I work with should be
720 or 360 dpi when finished interlacing with SuperFlip™ software. I am using a Micro Lens Technology
lenticular lens sheet with adhesive. You can buy 8” by 10” lenticular lens sheets with adhesive directly
from Micro Lens Technology in Charlotte, NC. I selected a lens at 40 lines per inch for my finished 3D
image. If I put 9 views under each lens then 9 X 40 is 360 or 360 dpi! So pick a range of 9 images. You
can open all images in Photoshop basically pick one and skip 3 across the sweep. Have all 9 image
opened up individually on Photoshop™. (I could have picked 18 for a finished image at 40 X 18 =720 or
720dpi or 36 for 36 x 40=1440 or 1440 dpi. The more images the clearer the final 3D image.) Remember
the number of images is directly related to the lens lines per inch and the printer dpi. For HP printers,
the dpi is 600 or 1200, therefore select 15 images for a 40 lpi lens-15 x 40 = 600 or 600dpi.
Printer output DPI/ lens lpi = Number is images selected
