ABSTRACT:
A primary image is processed by an array of optical elements to produce artistic effects in a resultant image which is divided into contiguous modular portions and which is recorded for use in various media including prints, still and motion pictures and patterns for embroidery, petit point and other handicraft applications. The optical elements may be in the form of lenses of square or other shapes positioned at a certain spacing distance from a primary image plane. The spacing distance is adjustable to produce desired effects and the size of the primary image is adjustable to control the size of the modular portions in relation to the size of the resultant image. When the desired resultant image is produced, it or a selected portion thereof is recorded by a camera.
