File Type Photoshop Files at a minimum of 300
dpi at final output size can be produced at the
fastest, most cost-effective rates. However, if
youve developed your files in another program,
we can convert them to Photoshop before applying
lenticular effects. This is just one of the
helpful lenticular design guidelines.

File Configuration Prepare your files so that
each element is on its own layer with image
behind it. If you cant, a good printer can take
care of these lenticular design guidelines for
you.

Background Ghosting Dont use flat color tints
or smooth vignettes, because they lead to
background ghosting. Add color and textures where
possible. Avoid white backgrounds or flat tints
where possible this is one of the top
lenticular design guidelines.

Text Ghosting High contrast colors will flip
on/off as part of the lenticular effect so
dont chose them, because theyll detract from
the desired effect.
