Abstract
The printed matter for regenerating a three-dimensional image derived from a parallax image string obtained on interpolating shape changes between images constituting the parallax image string is to be produced. An image printing device morphs images constituting a plurality of sets of parallax image strings of an object obtained on photographing by an image pickup device . Based on the morphed parallax image string, the printed matter regenerating a three-dimensional image is formulated by the printer . The image printing device executes processing in which the morphing rate of change is changed depending on the actuation of the actuating unit to display the resulting image on the display unit . The image printing device also morphs the image of the object photographed by the image pickup device with an image stored in the external memory
