Composite Photographs consist of two parts:

• An image which is made up from a sequence of thin strips of two or more original photographs. A mask is used at the taking or printing stage.
• A print of the mask that was used.

This type of image shares characteristics of the much earlier 'two-way' and 'three-way' images and with later lenticular images. A simple animated effect is possible.

Consists of a background image with vertical strips of card in front of it, an image is on each side of the strips. Three images can be seen depending on the viewpoint.

Lenticular images consist of narrow strips of two or more images interleaved behind cylindrical lenses. Each lens has the width of one set of images (i.e. if the print consists of two images then each lens covers a pair of strips).

This technology can be used to produce different effects:

• Two images can be shown, tilting the print shows one or the other image.
• If several images are interleaved then simple transformations or animations can be shown.
• A stereo effect is produced if the strips are very fine, each eye will see the appropriate stereo image.
• The Kodacolor process, introduced in 1928, used a lenticular film base to record red, green and blue image strips that were re-combined on projection to form a colour image.
