Polaroid may be stopping the manufacturing of polaroid film, but the polaroid feeling lives on. Poladroid
is a fun and easy, downloadable to Macs or PC, software that brings all of the fun of the Polaroid to your desktop! And for way cheaper too since a box of the cheapest film still ran around fifteen bucks for only a handful of exposures.
Not only does the downloadable program convert your photos to one of your timeless, favorite formats, it recreates the process too. After you drag the photo you want as a Polaroid into the little camera icon on your desktop and you hear the familiar “click,” the picture will appear on your desktop as well. You get to watch the entire Polaroid process unfold as time goes by and the picture darkens. Heck, you can even shake your computer a little if you’d really like to get into it. Though this time, it actually won’t ruin the development process of the photo. You can also stop the development at any attime to create whatever kind of coloring you like.
It’s amazing. The gratification is even more instant than with the Polaroid itself.
And if sharing your photos with your friends is not enough, simply upload them to the Poladroid Flickr Account. But let me remind you. If your picture is bad, turning it into a Polaroid picture will not make it a good one. So don’t even try.
Here are a few of my own favorites from the website:
