Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A method of converting abnormal relief photographs exposed through a lenticular surface formed of a multiplicity of individual essentially coplanar lens elements and constituting a planar sheet of film made up of a multiplicity of narrow discrete elongate relief data strips each baring a continuous sequence of reversely oriented relief image data thereon comprising the steps of severing said planar sheet of film along lines of demarcation disposed intermediate said discrete narrow elongate relief data strips to provide a multiplicity of individual edge-abutting relief data strips each containing a continuous sequence of reversely oriented relief image data, rotating each said severed strip 180* about its own longitudinal axis and repositioning each of said rotatably displaced severed strips with their adjacent edge in closely abutting relation to provide a composite reconstituted normal relief photograph.
Claim 2

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method as set forth in claim 1 including the step of rejoining the rotatively displaced strips along their adjacent abutting edges.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
