  • Patent number: 10762679
    Abstract: A method for generating an output image with realistic individual text inserts via software loaded on a computer is provided. The method comprises the steps of providing a base image in a commercial graphical format with at least one position frame defined within the base image; the position frame defines an area within the base image where a text insert is insertable; providing software loaded on the computer which transforms a low resolution image into a high resolution image; defining a vector path within the position frame; arranging the text insert along the vector path; composing the text insert wherein the such step comprises the steps of selecting individual elements, sizing the individual elements as a function of the vector path, assembling the elements into letters, and assembling the letters along the vector path to compose the text insert; and entering text of the text insert via a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20070109599
    Abstract: In the known methods, film images are printed, sorted and placed one on top of the other and bound. These methods are not suitable for inexpensively creating small or individual flip-books. In order to achieve this, according to the invention the film images are recorded by means of a digital system, transmitted to the manufacturer by means of remote data transmission and then standardized and printed out individually or with other orders. The flip-books are then formed in a conventional manner.
