Lenticular software for the creation, management and production of lenticular imaging for the commercial print trade - ©


With our expertise in lenticular processes, we’re often asked what software packages are best. As we don’t sell lenticular software ourselves, this page is designed to provide you with a choice of lenticular software providers focusing on professional applications.

Lenticular imaging can be managed effectively using existing graphic software such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. It is possible to interlace using only Photoshop CS4 or by employing the procedure described on our "prepress" page.  However, we have noticed that more and more printers are adding specific lenticular scripts or software.

Before buying lenticular software, we recommend that you read about the technology itself so that you can understand best what the requirements are for your market and specifications.

We do not guarantee the completeness or competence of any function of the lenticular software choices listed; providers will service and support their respective products independently. However, we welcome your feedback in our continuing efforts to provide practical and effective information to our customers.

Note: we believe that training and support are very important when choosing a lenticular software package.
