[Novalug] fun little photo project - lenticular images

[Doug Toppin]

I recently ran across how to make lenticular images at:
http://photojojo.com/content/diy/how-to-make-lenticular-images/

This is a little process that let's you take two different pictures and combine
them in strips to produce a third image that is twice as wide.  You then fold
the new image at the strips and put that in a frame.  You should be able
to see each image depending on the angle you view it at.

Doing that is a neat little thing for gifts.  However, copying the
image strips is
a somewhat manual effort so I wrote a crude little perl script
(attached) to do the
image combining to produce a jpg output image.  My perl fu is weak
however so the warranty expired the moment that you read this.

I looked around for a while to see if I could find something that already did
this and didn't have any luck but I'm sure there are many other ways to
do it that are probably easier/better/more reliable.

The photojojo.com site is very good for neat little projects btw.

If you give it a shot and have any questions or suggestions let me know.

Doug
