Abstract: A two-stage 3D printer comprises an edit stage in which a key subject is selected and image color data and key subject registration data are generated from negative 2D images and a print stage in which those data are used to optimize exposure of the 2D images and to provide key subject registration of the 2D images on lenticular print material. Exposure control and key subject registration in the print station are fully automated. The only required operator intervention in the operation of the printer is selection of a key subject of the photographic scene in one of the 2D images at the edit station.

Abstract: A method of effecting a three-dimensional print by a non-scanned exposure of three-dimensional lenticular print material is provided wherein a lenticular print material and a film having a plurality of exposed frames thereon are placed in opposing imaging planes and a lens and a periscope are positioned between the film and the print material; the periscope including first and second parallel mirrors positioned so as to reflect light along an optical path from the film through the lens to the print material, each of the parallel mirrors rotatable about a first axis normal to the lens optical axis and a second axis intersecting the first axis.

Abstract: Apparatus for reformating previously photographed data including a single light source and a mirror system for directing the light from the source in first and/or second mutually perpendicular axes which intersect at a point. Developed photographic roll film is advanced in a first plane past a first location which is spaced from the intersection point on one side thereof, the first axis passing through the first location and being perpendicular to the first plane. Developed photographic slides are positioned at a second location in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane, the second location being spaced from the intersection point on one side thereof and the second axis passing through the second location and being perpendicular to the second plane.
