  • Patent number: 5819664
    Abstract: Multiple copies of an image including a textural base may be produced using a reproducible process. The process may include preparation of an image by scanning a pre-existing work and/or manipulating a digital representation of an image or electronically generating an image. The digital representation of the image may be created through a scanning process or through a illustrating or painting computer program such as Adobe Illustrator, Paintbrush or Correll Draw. The scanning may be advantageously performed using a Dicomed camera, flat-bed or film scanner or any other suitable method. The digital representation of the scanned or created image may be manipulated using image editing software such as Adobe PhotoShop. The image editor may also create a number of separations. The separations may include a four color image separation and a special relief separation. The special relief separation may include a representation of the Z axis of the image.
